“That’s what I had to draw on and Tiger has that also to draw on but he’s got to through the barrier of not having done it for a while.
“When you haven’t won for a while that always happens. That’s just human nature but when you have a guy as good as Tiger is and as competitive as he is, he’ll break through that barrier and I would not be surprised to see Tiger win this week.

The 42-year old Woods has returned to the Nicklaus hosted Memorial for a first occasion since 2015 to tee-up in what will be his ninth event of

11th place earlier this month in the Players Championship.
Woods first won the Memorial in
1999 and then successfully defended his title in both 2000 and 2001 before winning for a fourth occasion in 2009 and a fifth title in 2012.
