DUBLIN, Ohio — When he was younger, Tiger Woods looked forward to getting older.
“Because I was getting better and better and better,” he said Friday.
Life is tricky. Woods, 44, no longer thinks so highly of the passage of time.
“Aging is not fun,” he said. “Now I’m just trying to hold on.”
Well before dawn Friday, Woods awoke for his 8:17 a.m. tee time. The fused vertebrae in his surgically reconstructed back felt good and he was eager to build on his solid opening round on Thursday at the Memorial Tournament — his first appearance on the PGA Tour since mid-February.
