He played 18 holes on Sunday, and then nine holes each of the last two days. Throw in theWoods wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't about to miss this Open at St. Andrews, the 150th edition of golf's oldest championship.
“So trying to get my mind right for that,” Woods said. “I’ve been trying to do that, but the only way you can truly do it actually is to get out here and experience it.”This week is all about the experience, and no one does history quite like the R&A with a “150” logo imprinted everywhere, even on the blue seats in the grandstands.“This is unlike any other tournament really, The Open at St Andrews,” Jordan Spieth said."It certainly hasn’t disappointed being on the grounds this week.
“My confidence in my game is as high as it’s been in quite a while,” McIlroy said. “I can’t go in here thinking that this might be my time. I just have to go out and play a really good tournament. I’ve got to string four good rounds together, and hopefully at the end of the week, that’s good enough to win.”As for Woods, it starts with walking. And it starts with being sharp.
