Tiger Woods fires a warning for the US Open
Marco Giacomelli08.06.09
Tiger Woods sounded an ominous warning to his rivals for next week's US Open at Bethpage with a vintage display in winning the Memorial tournament by one shot.
The American world No1 hit every fairway at Muirfield Village Golf Club in a final round seven-under-par 65, which left him 12 under par overall and just ahead of Jim Furyk, who closed with a 69.
It was Woods's second title this year in seven starts on the US circuit and silenced critics who had argued Woods was not back to his best after being sidelined for eight months while recovering from knee surgery.
"It was nice to play this well going into the US Open," said Woods after shooting the best score in the final round by two shots. "This is how you have to hit it in order to win US Opens, especially Bethpage. That golf course is as big as they come."
