PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA | Two down
and two to go. Tiger Woods is running out
of major championships to win in what
was meant to be the year of his dreams
for the world No. 1. Asked last week what
would be the favorite sites for the four
major championships, he replied: “I’d
probably pick St. Andrews all four times.”
No luck at Augusta in April nor at Pebble
Beach last week, Woods must be wonder-
ing whether he can be successful in the
Open Championship at the Old Course in
St. Andrews next month.

on the fourth and catching the trees with
a 3-wood from the tee on the third, hitting
a 3-wood over the cliff on the sixth on his
way to a 75.

He was back in his drab, baggy trou-
sers, too, and even his red shirt could not
brighten his aura. He looked uninspired.
Even holing a 25-footer across the seventh
green did not get him excited. “I feel I put
some pieces together this week” Woods
said. “It’s a long process but I hit some
shots this week that I haven’t hit in a long
time.”
So it’s on to Scotland, where it will
be warmer, and where the challenge for
Woods will be the same. Did he really
show some improvement on the Monterey
Peninsula last week? St. Andrews in four
weeks will tell us. l
