Woods says he’s ‘on schedule’ to play US Open

Tiger Woods entered the room with a slight limp and unwavering determination to play the U.S. Open.

“The knee’s doing better,” said Woods, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee April 15. “The rehab is boring. It gets really old riding that bike, man. But everything’s on schedule. Just been training and trying to get this thing organized for the Open, and it’s right on schedule for that.”

Woods spoke Tuesday at Congressional Country Club. The second annual edition of Woods’ own PGA Tour event, the AT&T National, returns to Congressional in July.

The U.S. Open will be at Torrey Pines in San Diego on June 12-15, a major that could prove a bit dicey for the world’s No. 1 player following a two-month layoff.

Woods had hoped to fine-tune his game this week at the Memorial, but he withdrew and has no plans to play in next week’s Stanford St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn.
