Tiger Woods wasted little time getting to work on Sunday morning after an overnight flight to Scotland, where he quickly got to Muirfield for a practice round at the site of this week's Open Championship. Woods, 37, the 14-time major champion who won the last of his three Open titles in 2006, will compete for the first time since the U.S. Open due to a left elbow strain that he was told to rest and rehabilitate by doctors. "I took a couple of weeks off and that's why I didn't play and I started practicing last week,'' Woods told two reporters while playing the outward nine at Muirfield with Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. "It felt fine. That's one of the reasons I let it heal, so I could go right back at it.'' Woods, who tied for 32nd at the U.S. Open, said he had to resist the urge to return too early. He skipped his own AT&T National -- where he was the defending champion -- and was also likely to play the Greenbrier Classic. A month ago Sunday was the last time he was seen on a golf course publicly. Source: ESPN
