Golf: Three-time champion Tiger Woods finalises his preparations for The Open

Three-times champion Tiger Woods continued with his preparations ahead the start of the Open Championship. Woods was a late afternoon arrival on the range, hoping to sharpen a swing in only his fourth tournament since he won the Masters. Before long, the rain returned. It was the first time in 159 years of the British Open that tickets had to be purchased in advance, including two practice rounds. That brings the attendance total for the week to 237,500, second only to the Old Course at St. Andrews.
