Tiger strolls onto practice range in Augusta

TIGER Woods got a big hug from an old friend, along with some encouraging words for his return to competition at the Masters.

"This is the place where you belong," Mark O'Meara said he told Woods as they walked down the 10th fairway on the final day of practice before the gates to Augusta National Open. "This is what you love to do."

Woods is scheduled to give a news conference for the first time since the public learned of his sordid private life.

"There's always going to be questions," O'Meara said. "But he's made a statement about what he's done. He's admitted his guilt, and now it's time for him to make things right. He'll figure it out. He's pretty tough."

Woods dipped his toes in the water and strolled onto the new practice range at the Augusta. He chatted with Paul Casey while waiting for caddie Steve Williams to bring his bag, which has only the "TW" Nike logo. He spoke on the putting green with Jim Furyk. Casey chose to keep the conversation with Woods private.
