Tiger Woods returns to the scene of one of his greatest triumphs this week with his focus firmly on his hunt for more major success ufffd and he wants everyone else's focus there, too.
Two days before the start of the US Open golf championship Woods slammed the door on questions about his private life.
"That's none of your business," Woods brusquely told one reporter with the temerity to ask about the state of his marriage, moving on to discuss the state of his health and his game with some optimism.
Woods said the sore neck that forced him to pull out of the fourth round of the Players Championship was improved. "The neck is better. It's not where I want it, but it is better, no doubt," said Woods, adding that a key for him was that, even though it still gets sore, he can recover to play or practise the next day. "I haven't had any days where I couldn't go the next day. That's a big step in the right direction," he said.
Woods said his game is moving in the right direction as well, after some struggles since his return in April after a five-month absence to deal with the fallout from revelations of marital infidelity.
