Returning Woods targets Memorial victory
03 June 2009
Tiger Woods begins the build-up to his defense of the U.S. Open crown by bidding for a fourth title at the prestigious Memorial tournament in Ohio.
The event, hosted by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, has attracted one of the strongest fields of the PGA Tour season, including the world number one who missed out last year due to his knee injury.
Woods subsequently won his 14th major at Torrey Pines before undergoing reconstructive knee surgery which sidelined him for nine months.
Woods has a victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and has not finished outside the top 10 in five other strokeplay tournaments he has played since his comeback.
His last appearance came as he finished eighth at the Players Championship and the 33-year-old has been practicing hard with coach Hank Haney.
"I'm really looking forward to competing again at the Memorial tournament and I've been working hard on my game since the Players Championship," Woods wrote in his monthly newsletter on his personal Web site www.tigerwoods.com.
But Woods, despite his good record since returning, is anxious to step up a gear.
