Woods says swing, not injury, clouding game

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida: A frustrated Tiger Woods scotched any notion that injury was clouding his game after he finished a disappointing eighth at the Players Championship on Sunday.

Joint second over night, Woods carded a one-over 73 at TPC Sawgrass in a final round marred by wayward shot-making and an unrelenting battle to find the middle of the fairway.

The problem was with his swing, not his knee, said the world No 1, who has struggled for consistency following his February return after an eight-month lay-off for surgery.
