Golf: Woods upbeat upon arrival

AUGUSTA: Tiger Woods arrived at the Masters confident and fit, playing a practice round over Augusta National’s front nine in advance of Thursday’s start to the first major of the year. Woods, a four-time Masters Champion and 14-time major winner snapped a US PGA win drought of 30 months with a victory at Bay Hill a weel ago. Now he hopes to end a major title drought dating to the 2008 US Open. “Physically I’m fine,” said Woods. “The whole idea is to get your game together. There are four times a year you want to be playing your best and this is one of them.”
