USA obsessed with long courses: Woods

American golf tended to make its greens too soft and it was "infatuated" with long courses, Tiger Woods said yesterday.

The 14-time major winner praised the Kingston Heath links course being used for this week's Australian Masters as forcing him to think about his game rather than the manicured layouts he plays on the US PGA Tour.

Woods gave another masterclass for his rivals as he cruised to a three-stroke lead at the halfway stage of the Australian Masters on Friday with an unblemished round of 68, featuring four birdies.

"Everyone tries to make the golf courses look like Augusta (the US Masters course), soaking it and then when you do that you make it softer and easier for us (to play).

"So when you do that you have to make the golf course longer, but if you just kept the golf courses faster then all of a sudden these golf courses would become really difficult."
