POTOMAC, Md. – Tiger Woods left the Quicken Loans National - where he tied for fourth place - with a handful of World Ranking points, some newfound putting confidence and a reason to be optimistic with his next stop The Open at Carnoustie.
He also bolted town with a reason to like his chances at The Open following his missed cut last month at the U.S. Open.
Woods finished tied for seventh at Carnoustie in 1999 despite making just a single birdie on the weekend, and in 2007 he finished tied for 12th on the Scottish links.
