Day ignores Tiger after US Open horror show

-

Tiger Woods is in a rehab clinic trying to recover from his addiction to prescripti­on drugs, but he is still finding it within himself to offer advice to his young profession­al rivals. Jason Day, the former world No 1, revealed that Woods contacted him with pointers during last week’s US Open, despite having being admitted to a facility after being found asleep at the wheel. Woods, 41, is awaiting a court appearance after being arrested and charged for driving under the influence and confirmed on Tuesday that he has sought help for a dependence on pain-killing drugs. “Tiger texted me after I shot 79 [in the first round at Erin Hills] and said, ‘Hey, before you work on something call me because I saw something’,” Day said. “I was like, yeah, you saw 79 shots. I didn’t call him because I was so angry.”
