Better than last year, when he was 18-over-par for the tournament and finished 78th in the 81-player field.
Why an improvement this time?
As miserable as 2011 has been for Woods, most fans have forgotten that he almost won the Masters in April –- though his putter is no longer a magic wand in his hands.
Granted, Woods is rusty, again. But like August National, Woods is comfortable on the Firestone course -- he’s won the Bridgestone Invitational seven times -- and this week’s tournament is a small field and there’s no cut so he’ll get in four rounds.
My guess is Woods won’t embarrass himself, and that he’ll finish in the top 15.
