ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Gusting winds rippled the roof of the supermarket-sized media tent Tuesday, creating an intermittent thunder effect as Tiger Woods discussed his sixth — and maybe most significant — Open Championship on these hallowed grounds.
He knows just how hard this course can be when the weather turns.
"You get winds like we did today, it's a helluva test," said Woods, who won two of his three Claret jugs here, in 2000 and 2005. "On 10, I hit a six iron from 120 yards it was blowing so hard. You don't have opportunities to hit shots like that anywhere else. Then again, if you get a calm day on this golf course, you can see players probably have four to five eagle putts."
