Tiger reveals Open tactics
Golf, 18:48, July 14, 2010 ,
Tiger Woods believes it will be precision not power that will be the key to success at the Open Championship this weekend.
The American is looking for an unprecedented third Open title at St Andrews having previously claimed the Claret Jug in 2000 and 2005.
Despite the testing weather Woods has hailed St Andrews as his favourite course having had some favourable results at the home of golf in the past.
Woods will be hoping he can get back to his best at St Andrews having struggled with his game since his return from a five-month hiatus.
Despite finishing fourth at the Masters and the US Open, Woods has struggled, breaking 70 just three times in his last 17 rounds of competitive golf.
However, the world number one believes he has got his tactics right for this weekend and has revealed he will be going for placement rather than power at a gusty St Andrews.
"I wouldn't say I have a specific advantage (at St Andrews) because there's a lot of guys who can hit the ball as far as I do," he said. "But this golf course requires placement.
"You really have to place the ball correctly. Just because it's wide off the tee doesn't mean you can blow it all over the place.
"You have to hit the ball in the correct spot and the two years that I've played well here, I've done that."
