Woods healthy, having fun again

Tiger Woods has rediscovered more than just the ability to win again. Having ended 2011 with his first victory in two years, Woods said the joy of being able to play golf with a healthy body has returned as well. He told the AP by email he has fully recovered from leg injuries that ruined much of last season. He also hopes his recent victory at the Chevron World Challenge in California is the “start of another great run. The last couple of months have been really fun and that is mostly because I am feeling healthy again.” Woods is preparing for his first tournament of the year and his first in Abu Dhabi, Jan. 26. It will give a first indication of whether Woods can maintain his level of play at the Chevron in December. That was his first win since a car crash in 2009 led to revelations of extramarital affairs that derailed his marriage and golf game. – Associated Press
