Tiger Woods admitted he will celebrate his WGC-Bridgestone Invitational win “quickly” before turning his attention to the US PGA, which begins on Thursday.
Following his disastrous Open championship at Turnberry, where he missed the cut, Woods has won two tournaments in a row, and is eyeing a third at the Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota this weekend.
“It’s going to be a quick turnaround,” Woods said. “I’ll be out there tomorrow. I’ll celebrate quickly.
“I’m going to play Monday and Tuesday and then do nothing on Wednesday, just practice, that’s it. Get to know the golf course a little bit on Monday and Tuesday and then shut it down Wednesday.”
Woods won the Buick Open in Michigan on Aug 2 and followed it up with a four-stroke win over Padraig Harrington and Robert Allenby at Firestone Country Club yesterday.
And he insisted the two wins came as a relief following his performance at Turnberry, although he argues it was not as bad a performance as some were led to believe.
“I just felt that I had six bad holes, and that six bad holes took me out of the championship, and I only missed the cut by a shot,” he said.
“it wasn’t, I don’t think, as bad as everyone thought it would have been. You’ve just got to not have those bad stretches, just clean it up a little bit.
“I was able to do it the last couple weeks, and instead of having a bad stretch, I had positive ones,” he added.
