Tiger Woods insists he knows what he’s doing on the golf course.

Speaking about this week’s event, Woods added: “It’s my first time back since the last time I missed the cut here”.
Cabrera, however, was almost as brilliant and posted his second consecutive round of 64 to win by two. “I hit the ball better than my score indicates”. And Chris and I and one my buddies, Rob (McNamara), is always around.
Woods was an absolute disaster at the USA Open, missing the cut with an embarrassing performance over the first two days. Justice says his goal is to one day host a major championship, perhaps even a USA Open. With the way he has looked in all facets this season, it probably isn’t a bad idea to keep tinkering. “I was telling [caddie] Joey [LaCava] going down 7, ‘We’re just playing too well to be at 1-under par.’ And just trying to get back to 3”.
Woods shot a 4-under 66 in the opening round, making seven birdies as he shook off a late double bogey to finish strong.
That was one of the low points of what has largely been a dismal 2015 for Woods so far, which has seen him slump to 220th in the world rankings and record three scores in the 80s in his last six tournaments.
Rounds of 63 helped veteran Jonathan Byrd and youngster Danny Lee enter the clubhouse just one shot off Langley’s ambitious pace.
It was a further stroke back to England’s Brian Davis and Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa on 64, while half a dozen players shared sixth on 65.
“We all kind of fed off each other”, said Byrd, speaking of Langley and Michael Putnam.
Wednesday’s Pro-Am was all about having fun and entertaining the spectators, and it would be hard to top the 12:10 pairing that brought Justice, his son Jay, pro Keagan Bradley and the biggest and tallest star of the day, 7-foot-1 and 14-time National Basteball Association All-Star Shaquille O’Neal to the first tee of the Old White.
A caddy is not only responsible for carrying players’ clubs to each hole, But to give advice and information to the golfer about the course and their opponent.

Watson admitted he came to the Greenbrier worn out from his victory in Connecticut at the Travelers Championship. He hit ten of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens along the way, needing only 25 putts.
