WOODS STILL WORKING ON RM40M MICKELSON MATCH

TIGER WOODS said yesterday that he and longtime rival Phil Mickelson are “still working” on a US$10m (RM40m) “winnertakes-all” match. “We are still working on it and it’s not there yet but we are trying to make it happen,” said Woods after playing several practice holes at the Carnoustie course in Scotland, where this year’s British Open starts on Thursday. “Phil and I are friends and we are always trying to make each other uncomfortable and needle each other,” Woods added. Patrick Reed, this year’s Masters champion, recently joked he would only watch Woods tackle Mickelson if they each put up their own money. When this point was put to him yesterday, a laughing Woods replied: “Of course, that is what Patrick would like to see and it would be good of him to put up that money.”
