LOS ANGELES (AP) — Taon ngayon ng ‘Golden Rooster’, ngunit nagsisimula nang umatungal si Tiger Woods.
Masigla at malusog na Woods ang makikita ng fans sa kanyang pagbabalik aksiyon sa PGA Tour matapos ang 15 buwang pahinga bunsod ng operasyon sa likod.
“I’ve just never played it well,” aniya.
Nagsimula ang pro career ni Woods sa Riviera noong 1992, tangan ang sponsor’s exemption. Umikor noon ang teenager mula sa Orange County ng 72-75 para ma-cut.
“I felt fine on that first tee but as I took the club back, I never felt nerves like that. I was skinny. I looked like a 1-iron. I didn’t weigh a lot. I had a lot of speed.”
Makalipas ang limang taon, isa nang Masters champion si Woods (1997) at may hawak na 79 PGA Tour career title.
“Twenty-five years later, here we are,” sambit ni Woods
