WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — A short ride to Sam Snead’s playground in West Virginia is what Tiger Woods considers a good way to get ready for the British Open.
Woods is coming off a win at the AT&T National last week and traveled 250 miles for his debut Thursday in the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia.
The quick trip helped make Woods’ decision to compete in the tournament easy, coupled with memories of the late Snead’s stories about his 47-year association with the resort.
Woods says Snead used to tell him how much he loved coming to The Greenbrier.
The place might grow on Woods, too, if he can get his fourth victory of the season on the Old White TPC Course and move within seven of Snead’s record 82 PGA Tour wins.
