PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – A week after withdrawing from the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a neck strain, Tiger Woods wrapped up a pedestrian week at The Players with a closing 69.
Woods was tied for 32nd when he completed his round. Even though he was well out of contention, Woods said he was pleased with his game heading into the year’s first major next month at the Masters. He was also content with his decision not to play last week at Bay Hill.
“I needed that,” Woods said. “I needed to get that organized, if my back gets tight, it's going to go up the chain and so I got to start at ground zero and get my lower back moving properly and get the firing sequence good, and then after that the rest of the chain will take care of itself.
