Woods impresses in 9 holes with Jeter

Two sports icons got together on a golf course for the first time Monday, as Tiger Woods and Derek Jeter played nine holes in the Bahamas.

Woods and the retired New York Yankees shortstop were joined by Jeter's former teammate, Tino Martinez, and Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose.

Woods, who was using a new TaylorMade driver and Bridgestone ball, said “I hit it good today."

“We’ve played today in a 20-mph plus breeze and it’s quite an unforgiving wind,” Rose said, “but the quality of Tiger’s play has been pretty good.

“If [Tiger] wanted to test his game then these conditions, given as tough as they are, is a good test.
