Tiger Woods is in confident mood heading into The Open at Carnoustie after finishing in fourth place at the Quicken Loans National, according to a report on the Irish Independent.
He is entering the competition filled with belief after securing his second top-four finish this season and he is not ruling himself out of contention to secure a victory.
Woods has had several putting problems throughout the year but he after having new Taylormade putters, that problem seems to have decreased significantly.
The American has now moved up to 67th in the world rankings and he knows exactly what it takes to be successful in the British major.
He said:
I’ve hit the ball well in this stretch, I just haven’t made anything. And I’m starting to make those putts you’re supposed to make from 10, 15 feet, but I’m also making some from outside 20. That’s a positive sign.
Yeah, my introduction to links golf couldn’t have been any better. I played Carnoustie in the Scottish Open and the very next week played I played the British at St Andrew’s.
One of the neat things about playing the Open Championship is they don’t really care what par is. They don’t try and manufacture an Open.
Woods finished in seventh place at Carnoustie back in 1999 and he’ll be hoping to have a better finish than that this time around.
