A Rusty Woods feels better as players expected

Tiger Woods has heard a series of components of the camera to the viewer and stopped his swing at the last minute, the knees flexed, tree club parallel to the ground, holding her pose until he could regain his balance.

"Oh, no," said the shopping cart for Mark O'Meara. "" "". You start to swing as Charles Barkley. ?

Doubled Woods laugh Tuesday on the eighth tee on the TPC Sawgrass, a time during his first time playing golf since disclosing minor knee and injuries of Achilles of the masters.

Woods, has said the left knee - which went through four surgeries - and his left Achilles is better.

"Good enough to play," said.

How much more remains to be seen and Woods has yet to be done to the first tee Thursday morning for the start of The Players Championship, where he has not finished better than eighth since won 10 years ago.

Woods said, and amended his left knee of an awkward swing in the straw of pine on the 17 of 67 after hole made a brief statement.

"It was a not feeling well Sunday." "It was difficult," said Woods. "I played through it, but..." I was in the middle of play and competition and should be able to it, so I did it. I was able to stop for a little and was able to care. ?

Woods said that Monday for the first time since the Masters, he practiced. He played Golf Tuesday - the front nine at Sawgrass - for the first time since the last day in Augusta. He treated the injury with anti-inflammatories, ice, raising his legs and some soft tissue. Still to be determined, because he has not spent any time play is if it swells.

"We'll see how this week is progressing," he said. "" "". If it rockets as he did at Augusta, then he rockets ups. "But I hope he does."

Swing Woods coach, Sean Foley, said that he had been walking in a boot for protection as a precautionary measure. Woods chose not to play the Wells Fargo Championship last week, giving a week to see if the knee and improved Achille. He said he would have played last week if he had been a big smile like to recall that he won a US Open on one leg left shattered three years ago.

It was his 14th major, and last time, he won the tournaments which means the most. And he clearly, even in a tournament debated the "fifth major", that it remains a priority.

"The idea is that I maximum four times a year, and I am preparing for Congress, and I need a game-time," Woods said. "" "". I missed playing last week at a golf course, that I really love playing, but I really want to get out there and compete. It is a great event, and I want to be here and play. ?

The TPC Sawgrass is not among his favorites, and the record reflects that.

He was a finalist to Hal Sutton in 2000, then won the Players Championship the following year, when he went to win the Masters to hold all four major titles. He has since only top 10 - eighth place, after the beginning of the last round in the last group, five head shots.

Beyond not winning majors, Woods has not won anything in 18 months, dating from Australian Masters in November 2009. He is rebuilding his swing and take its share of criticism on the way, similar to the previous swing changes.

Today, even the players are piling on.
