TRANSCRIPTS
-Hi and welcome to this golfchannel.com extra. I'm Win McMurry
joined by Rex Hoggard and Randall Mell, senior writers at
golfchanne.com and Tiger Woods speaking on Tuesday for the first
time in a while here in the United States making
his State side debut on the PGA Tour. So, why
did you take away Rex from the press conference we
heard? You know, haven't been Abu Dhabi and following for
72 holes. I kind of took away kind of the
way I felt when I left the Middle East. He
didn't hit the ball as bad as his stats indicate.
He actually played much better on Sunday than his score
indicated. 24 putts was great, but even when he was
missing fairways, he wasn't missing them by more than 2
or 3 pace. His iron game was a little bit
off on Sunday, but you're looking at a guy that's
obviously very, very confident even coming off of blowing a
54-hole lead in Abu Dhabi. There is a bunch of
ways to look at that, but I still think he's
riding away of a confidence that he started I would
go all the way back to Sydney in Australia. -Yeah,
yeah, he's definitely up or doing mobile track and he's
thinking as the old Tiger because you know what in
that final round at Abu Dhabi he beat himself. He
really did, but the way he thought about it he
was closed. He just missed those greens because the talked
about the green can hitting 6 of thick greens. Actually,
he just missed 4, so in his mind, he hit
10, but that's the old tiger thinking that he is
always close. Back to Tiger at his best when he
was off, he was always really close and you see
him thinking that way now. -Alright Randall, what do you
expect to see from Tiger Woods this week? -You know
what I expect to see a win. It just feels
like it's imminent that things have built. His confidence is
build swings improved, and he is going back to a
magical place, Pebble Beach, where he won by 15 shots
at US Open. He could do anything there, can he?
-And I think on the same mindset, you're also talking
about a place where he was in contention when the
open was around 2010 and that was something approaching as
see game. I mean, he really wasn't playing well at
that time. The one thing that's going to standout my
mind to watch over the course of the week is
his putting. Keep in mind, he started with 35 putts
in Abu Dhabi in that round 1, finished with 24.
There was a lot of room in between, poana greens.
I know he grew up on those, but they can
still be difficult. He has complained about them in the
past. We'll see how he gets off on Thursday and
see how likes the Pro-Am format, see how his putters
react [unk] see he's back or he's gonna win. -Alright,
what did you think about Tiger's overall demeanor during his
press conference? I mean he seemed kind of lay back
with the media, didn't he? He's been pretty relaxed. Again,
I'll go back all the way to Australia last year,
I mean, just being in Sydney and even with the
crowds and the excitement, he seems to have found a
peace, I mean, being in South Florida, being in the
new house everything is kind of new, the new caddie.
He and Lacava are clearly hitting it off very well
now. He just can continue to build on that one.
Another interesting things I pointed, I mean, I saw on
the press conference was he was talking about he can
go and train now and hit balls all day like
he used to. I think that's going to be the
key factor here. -Yeah, I think, his comment that everything
is going in the right direction is what he really
believes in his game and talked about being with his
children. -Right getting down on the floor and actually kind
of coloring with them and how it affected his back
or didn't. -Yeah, and also working out -Uh huh. -He's
not rehabbing now. He's training again. So, all positive momentum
that I think is leading Tiger back to winning form.
-Alright, well, it's gonna be an exciting week. That's for
sure. Alright, thanks so much guys. Thank you for joining
