Mixed Zone
Q. What can you take away from this round?
TIGER WOODS: I didn't do a whole lot of things right today. I made that putt on the 3rd hole, and then I think I had, what, three 3-putts today. I didn't hit my irons very close, and I didn't give myself a whole lot of looks today.
I need to shoot something in the mid-60s tomorrow to get something going on the weekend.
Q. Can you look at like this year, Tiger, as part of the bigger picture, like building towards something that's maybe six months off, maybe longer than that?
TIGER WOODS: Yeah, I'm physically feeling a lot better than I did at the beginning of the year. At the end of last year, it was tough, and I haven't played a whole lot.
I think that, as the year has gone on, I have gotten better. I just wish I could have played a little bit more, but I've been saving it for the majors just in case I do something pretty major and then take myself out of it.
Hopefully next year will be a little bit better than this year.
Q. Do you find yourself thinking about Charlie next week at all when you're playing out here?
TIGER WOODS: Not when I'm playing, no. When I'm working, I'm working. When I'm at home, away from the golf course, yeah, I do talk to him. We're working on getting his game right.
Wish I could see him hit balls or play and get ready like we normally do for an event, but I'm a little bit busy this week.
Q. Tiger, can you play more next year, do you think? Can you find a rhythm that would allow you -- or even this fall perhaps just to get you into a routine?
TIGER WOODS: I thought I could play a little bit more earlier in the year. I think I was a little bit too optimistic. I need to do a lot more work in the gym and keep progressing like we have.
