Steve Sands interviews Tiger Woods after his play Thursday at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
TRANSCRIPTS
-Tiger, how would you assess the way you played today?
-I hit the ball well all that day. It was
a good ball strike year round. I had a hard
time [unk] the greens out there. The greens are pretty
grainy and I just had a hard time getting the
feel for it. Towards the end, I hit some really
good putts, but overall, I got [unk] a lot of
my [unk]. -You told us on Tuesday before you played
that practice round with nine holes with Rory McIlroy that
you were gonna go out there and try to learn-
-Uh-huh. -How these greens worked. How hard is it to
read greens when you've never seen them before? -Well, it's
hard to- it's harder to read them when they're grainy.
It's a little bit of easier when it's just pure
bent or [unk]. But this needs to have a little
bit of grain. I have a lot of good putts
after I saw someone hit a putt and- but other
than that, it was just a little bit- a little
more difficult than it should have been. -That's a good,
nice, prolonged break. You worked through on your game at
home, relaxed at home in South Florida. What's the most
difficult thing that comes back in the competitive play after
a long stretch away? -Well, I think just getting in
to the flow of the round, just getting into the
rhythm and the flow of hitting shots like that in
a competitive environment. I think by the second hole, I
was back into the rhythm of applying. So, it was
good. I like to be good, you know, on the
first hole. But, understandably, after a break like that, it
just got to take a little bit. -Lastly, everybody's looking
forward to seeing you play with Luke and Rory. -Uh-huh.
-What was that like out there with you three? -It
was good. You know, we had- we talked quite a
bit and, you know, Rory didn't quite hit the ball
as well as he'd like. But, boy, he sure shot
the putt [unk] today. It was- it was good stuff
to watch. -Appreciate your time. See you Friday. -Yeah, thank
you.
