Tiger Begins Arduous Task Of Laying Groundwork For Not Returning To AT&T Pro-Am, Again

Hank Gola with Tiger's post round whining comments complaining about the AT&T National Pro-Am greens. He really is back to his old self!

“I’m hitting good putts. I’m not displeased with my putting at all,” said Woods, who took 33 putts, four more than he did on Thursday. “I just didn’t hit the ball in the right spots to give myself the right looks. If we were putting smooth greens, it would be a totally different deal. Then I know I could pour those in all day. But when you’re getting on these, you have to put the ball below the hole so you can be aggressive and take out all the movement. I was hitting the ball in the wrong spots, (leaving) sliders or downhill putts.”

Meanwhile contrast that with Phil Mickelson raving about the course conditions. Bob Harig reports.

"It was an interesting day," said Mickelson, who is off to a poor start this season, having finished no better than 26th in his first three events. "We had perfect weather. Then the back nine when the weather came in, I don't know what happened, but I started to play a lot better and make some birdies.

"In the perfect conditions, I struggled. But to play these golf courses in such great condition either way has been a lot of fun."
