Fred Funk fears for Tiger Woods
AMERICAN Fred Funk suspects that a joint replacement operation would not be the answer for Tiger Woods as he tries to sort out the chronic ailments in his left knee.
Funk, 55, played with barely a limp in last week’s Senior Open at Walton Heath after having his right knee replaced.
But Funk said: “Having the right knee replaced is not too much of a problem. But the left knee is a different matter. An artificial joint would not cope with the twisting and turning.”
Woods is expected to return to action at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio next week.
This will be his first outing since sacking long-serving caddie Steve Williams who, it has emerged, was on a salary of £1million a year.
