Golf-Woods' swing 'ineffective', says ex PGA Tour winner Chamblee (Reuters)

Dec 2 (Reuters) - Tiger Woods might have earned plaudits from some with his return to competition at the Hero World Challenge on Thursday, but one former player was unimpressed with the 14-time major winner's swing.

Brandel Chamblee was scathing in his assessment of Woods' swing, predicting that the former world number one will continue to struggle unless he tweaks his swing.

Refusing to cut Woods much slack after a 15-month-plus injury-enforced break, former PGA Tour winner Chamblee said "rust" was the wrong word to use.

"I'm going to call it an ineffective move that he's got because he's going to continue to struggle if he continues to have his right elbow drop straight down and behind him," Chamblee said on Golf Channel after Woods recorded two late double-bogeys for a one-over-par 73 on the Albany course in The Bahamas.
