Steve Sands interviews Tiger Woods, who said he's all business at the Abu Dhabi Championship.
TRANSCRIPTS
All right. Thank you, Tiger. How would you compare Friday
to Thursday's round? -I hit about the same. I just
made a few more putts. That was about it. -How
frustrating is it when you can't combine the two between
ball striking and making putts? -Well this golf course is-
it's a driving premium. You have to drive the ball
well here and once you do that, the greens are
pretty big, so you can be pretty aggressive. They haven't
tucked a lot a lot of the pins. They've been
pretty nice to us, but still, you know, these greens
are so tough to read now, we hit a lot
of lips, the 3 of us today and certainly yesterday
as well. -When greens are tough to read, is that
something you can work on, on the practice putting green
or is it something you just have to keep playing
through on the course? -No, as I was seeing the
table over there. It's just that I had to- a
couple of putts- the green was transitioning yesterday. It was
going- it was changing directions as I was going through
the putts. So today I just said, you know, if
it's just one, if it happens to go two different
directions, but it is kinda generally the same thing, go
ahead and play it 'cause the greens are fast enough.
Yesterday they were snagging it more 'cause obviously it's just
a fraction slower. Today being quicker, the green we have
is as much as no effect, so it's a little
bit easier to putt. -Take people inside the ropes a
little bit, when you're playing with two big players like
Rory and Luke, what is it like out there as
far as conversation, competitiveness, silence, what is it like? -Well,
we talk certainly, but not that much. The nature of
this golf course is you're not gonna go out there
and shoot you know, make 9 or 10 birdies and
it's not one of those kind of golf courses. You
have to be pretty focused, you know, a lot of
us were, it seemed that majority of us the last
couple of days were head down with blinders on. We
didn't really come out of our zones because the type
of golf course you just can't. It is plain too
difficult. -Last thing, Dubai last year, you had a chance
over the weekend. Now you have a chance obviously going
into this weekend, how much of a different player are
you from 12 months ago? -Well, certainly I've had much
more experience within the system and I've grown to understand
what the shot wants me to do and how my
body's gonna do those things and produce some numbers that
it wants me to produce. So that's 12 months more
of more knowledge.
