Punters Take Note: Tiger Will Be "Good Enough" For The Open
/Because of his ability to play the wind and for general karma reasons related to his last visit to Muirfield, I've thought The Open was Tiger's best chance at a major this year but his "good enough" comments related to his elbow should have the punters bumping up his odds a bit.
Mark Lamport-Stokes reports:
Asked whether the elbow would be fully healed in time for the July 18-21 British Open at Muirfield in Scotland, Woods replied: "How about ... good enough."
He also addressed Nick Faldo's recent suggestion that Tiger is struggling mentally and is a mere mortal. 
“I don't know. I've won four times.,” Woods said Wednesday when asked about the analyst’s comments.
Faldo, who commentates for CBS and Golf Channel, recently told the Daily Mail: “He’s not in a good mental place. It was so easy for him before, he made it look so easy, when it is such a hard sport. But whatever he’s been through, with all his personal problems, has made an impact on his mind – and so much of this sport is all in the mind. Nerve is the bottom line. I know he wants to come back and prove that he can do it.”
When questioned as to whether he feels like he is struggling mentally, Woods only offered a terse, “No.”
Woods is still the favorite at around 7-1 with most of the betting houses with only a few showing his number drifting up.
