Woods ready to hit course at Quail Hollow

Tiger Woods spent three months working toward one week in April. The Masters has come and gone. Woods took a small step back at Augusta National when he misfired with his iron play, didn’t break par until the final round and tied for 32nd. He finished 16 shots back, his widest distance from the lead in 19 appearances at the Masters. This is no time to rest. Golf shifts into overdrive starting today with the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow, a course that hosted the PGA Championship last summer and boasts enough star players to make it feel like the next best thing to a major. The Players Championship is the following week. Three major championships, starting with the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, are played in a nine-week span. “Building toward next week,” Woods said. “Hopefully, I can have everything peak for this week and next week, but mainly next week. And after that, it’s getting ready for Shinnecock.” The league announced the suspension on Wednesday night, a day after Wilson broke Aston-Reese’s jaw with a violent collision near the Washington bench in the second period of Washington’s 4-3 Game 3 victory. Aston-Reese was stickhandling near the Capitals’ bench when Wilson drilled the rookie with his left shoulder. The force propelled Wilson up into the Washington bench while AstonReese lay on the ice for several moments before skating off. He was later diagnosed with a concussion and a broken jaw. While Wilson was not penalized during the game, the league’s Department of Player Safety noted that Aston-Reese’s head was the main point of contact and that the hit was avoidable in announcing the suspension.
