Woods struggles with putter; lead tape the answer?
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Much of the focus following last weeks abbreviated start at the Farmers Insurance Open was on Tiger Woods driving.On Day 1 at Torrey Pines he hit just 4 of 14 fairways, but it wasnt his driving that sent Woods tumbling down the leaderboard on Thursday at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. He hit 10 of 14 fairways at Emirates Golf Club, but struggled with the pace of the greens.I just could not hit the putts hard enough.
