Punters: Elbow Fine, Tiger Woods Tells TigerWoods.com

Tracking down Tiger Woods while he waiting to purchase a latte** in Terminal 5 at Heathrow where he awaited a connecting Flybe flight to Edinburgh, a TigerWoods.com cub reporter managed to get the World No.1 on the record about his injured elbow.

As posted on TigerWoods.com:

I started chipping and putting a little over a week ago and I'm full go for the British Open. I'm very confident that my left elbow strain won't be a problem and I will be able to hit all the shots I need to hit. That's why I took the time off, so it could heal, and I would feel comfortable playing again. I'm still taking anti-inflammatory medication for my elbow and getting treatment, but the big thing at Muirfield Golf Club will be to avoid the rough.

Woods is 8-1 or 9-1 depending on which bookmaker you should so desire.

The reporter at TigerWoods.com also elicited many comments from Woods about links golf and his recent AT&T National event at Congressional.

**Sources tell me exclusively he was buying a one-week supply of Pimms in the duty free shop along with a Keep Calm Carry On refrigerator magnet for his rental house this week.
