Woods gunning for 3rd US Open crown

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: World No. 1 golfer Tiger Woods is preparing for a gruelling challenge at this week's US Open, the two-time champion gunning for his third major title in four starts.

Much of the talk in the build-up to the second major of the year has focused on Oakmont's reputation as the toughest layout in the US.

But more than that, what's really keeping Woods in news is the fact that he is expected to become a father very soon.

"Yeah, certainly - your nights are going to be a little more awake. My practice sessions are going to have to be tailored around a little bit, have to move things around. But you know, I don't really know how my game is going to be affected by it because I've never gone through it before. All I know is that (wife) Elin and I are excited, and that this is far more important than any game of golf. This is an opportunity for us to raise our child and we're really looking forward to it," Woods says.
