TIGER WOODS “READY FOR FINAL ROUND”

Q. Tiger, what was the biggest challenge you were facing out there today?

TIGER WOODS: The fact that I was not hitting it very good or putting well. I didn’t have a very good warmup session, and I kept it going all day today. Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it.

And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makable putts. I missed a lot of them.

Q. Tiger on 9 it looked like that was a painful swing out of the right side there.

TIGER WOODS: Yeah.

Q. Was there any moment that was worse than the others today that caused it to be worse for you the rest of the day?

TIGER WOODS: All day.

Q. Was it a lack of maybe mental reps?

TIGER WOODS: I wouldn’t say necessarily mental reps. It’s just that I haven’t competed and played much. When I had chances to get it flipped around and when I made that putt at 5, I promptly three-putted 6 and flub a chip at 7 and just got it going the wrong way, and when I had opportunities to flip it, I didn’t.

Q. How much did yesterday wear you out physically?

TIGER WOODS: Oh, yeah, it did.

Q. How about being ready for tomorrow?

TIGER WOODS: My team will get me ready. Club has have been awesome. It will be a long night and a long warmup session, but we’ll be ready.
