Relaxed Woods takes questions during practice
GRAND BLANC, Mich. (AP) -- He made them laugh, smile, ooh and aah.
Tiger Woods entertained and informed about 2,000 fans during a one-hour clinic Tuesday night at Warwick Hills, the site of this weekend's Buick Open.
"I am a little tired, even though I didn't do anything other than get my butt kicked," Woods said after traveling from California, where he and Ernie Els lost a televised match to Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia on Monday night.
A relaxed Woods hit shots off an elevated platform on the 18th green as fans packed the grandstands and lined the ropes almost 100 yards down the fairway, watching his every move and listening to his every word.
His routine
Woods told the crowd that he begins each practice session with three sand-wedge shots, without caring where they go. Then he aims at targets with his 8-iron, 4-iron, 3-wood, driver, then his 8-iron and 60-degree wedge.
Next, Woods takes the club he will use on the first tee and tries to shoot the type he shot he will need to start his round.
Broadcaster Mike Tirico, who lives in Ann Arbor, and fans of all ages asked Woods questions as he hit shots.
When Woods was asked what his favorite club was, he said he didn't have one.
"You have to have a belief in every club in your bag," Woods said.
Woods was then asked what he does when he's not comfortable with one of his clubs.
"Change," he said with a smile as the crowd laughed.
