Tiger Woods to critics at the Open Championship: I'm not 'buried and done' yet

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Now more than seven years removed from his last major victory,Tiger Woods still hasn’t given up hope of catching Jack Nicklaus in the major department.

“No, not at all,” he said Tuesday at St. Andrews. “I’m still young. I’m not 40 yet. I know some of you guys think I’m buried and done, but I’m still right here in front of you.”

Even with limited success over the past two years and an under-construction long game, Woods’ performance at The Greenbrier created some optimism that he can make another run at the claret jug. He is a 30-1 favorite to win this week at the Old Course, where he won in both 2000 and 2005. When the Open was last held here, in ’10, he tied for 23rd.
