Bridgestone return thrills Woods Former world No 1 Tiger Woods remains in a positive mood for the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational despite his patchy form, Skysports reports. The tournament teed off on Thursday. The 14-time major winner finished 69th at Royal Liverpool for The Open last week as he continues his recovery from back surgery, desperate to turn his season around. Woods has won the elite World Golf Championships crown a record eight times at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio and would dearly love to add a ninth in his bid to qualify for the PGA Tour’s lucrative season-ending FedExCup playoffs. Woods has just three events remaining to advance from his lowly 215th spot in the FedExCup points list and book his place among the top 125 who will tee off in the playoff opener, The Barclays tournament from August 21 to 24. “I am excited to be back,” said Woods, who won last year’s Bridgestone Invitational title by a commanding seven shots. “I have had some pretty good memories here. I’ve had some great rounds and certainly some great moments on this property, so any time I come back here, it’s always a good, solid feeling. I am looking forward to this week.” Since undergoing back surgery in late March, Woods has competed in just two PGA Tour events – missing the cut at last month’s Quicken Loans National and finishing 69th at the British Open
