ADARE, Ireland (AP) — Tiger Woods has responded to questions about his marital break up and personal turmoil with terse, tense answers and finally sad-eyed silence at an Irish charity golf tournament.
Woods made his first appearance overseas this week at the J.P. McManus Invitational Pro-Am, where he shot a 3-under-par round of 69 on Tuesday despite gusting winds and sporadic heavy rain.
He wasn’t as prepared for the press conference turbulence afterward.

When asked why he was flying home to Florida rather than head to Scotland to prepare for next week’s British Open, Woods descended to staccato half-sentences.
“I need to get home,” he said. Why? “See my kids.”
A final question asking whether he could focus solely on golf produced sad-eyed silence.
