(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Tiger Woods (USA), the ‘golf emperor’ who suffered a slump on the first day of the tournament for the second time since his return, confessed that his leg was badly injured in a car accident last year.
After the first round of the PGA Championship held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA on the 20th (Korean time), Woods said in an interview with local media about his leg, “I was fine before, but now it hurts.”
On that day, Woods hit a four-over-par 74, tied for 99th on the first day of the game, and was in danger of missing the cut.
At last month’s Masters, which was a comeback stage after a car accident in February of last year, after finishing tied for 10th on the first day of 1 under par, the final ranking was tied for 47th.
Woods, who suffered a serious leg injury in a car accident, hinted that the sequelae continued.
“It hurts when I put weight on it, it hurts when I press it, it hurts when I walk, it hurts when I twist it,” he explained. However, he added, “It’s only when you play golf. It’s okay if you don’t play and don’t act like that.”
Woods made three birdies that day, but threw out seven bogeys. He struggled with his iron shots, especially when he wasn’t good at it. The green hit rate was only around 30%.
Regarding the game, Woods said, “It started well, but after the middle of the game there were a lot of bad iron shots, so I couldn’t get close to the ball, so I couldn’t create a birdie opportunity. .
He promised the second round, “I will start the recovery process. I will try to alleviate the inflammation with various treatments in preparation for tomorrow’s game.”
