At his press conference on Tuesday at the U.S. Open Tiger Woods was upbeat and seemed pleased with his game.

"As far as my game, I'm very excited about how it's progressed," Woods said. "Since before the Memorial, then obviously during the Memorial, and now here it's gotten better. The more time I've been able to practice and play, it's starting to solidify and I’m actually really excited to tee it up on Thursday."

The U.S. Open is being played at Pebble Beach. Last time it was played here in 2000 Tiger won by an astounding 15 shots.

Here's a sampling of some of Woods' answers.

Tiger Talks U.S. Open:

Tiger was asked why the U.S. Open is the hardest tournament to win.

"Well, generally it's the highest rough we play all year; it's the narrowest fairways, the hardest greens, the trickiest pins. Other than that, yeah, it's pretty simple."

He was also asked about the condition of the course.

"It's great to be back, I haven't been here in I believe about eight years now, so it's great to be back. It's interesting to see the golf course, how much it has changed some of the redesigns that they have had. Different strategies, different shots, and obviously it's playing a lot firmer than it does here in February. So the greens are starting to get a little bit more springy, starting to come to life now, and it's only going to get, probably going to get, more springy as the days go on.

"I think how it's been set up this year is much more different than what we played in 2000. How Mike sets it up is very different than how Tom set it up. And it's just, it's, you know, with the graduated rough system that they have implemented now, fairways are much wider, but then again they're a lot faster. And the holes are much longer. Where they could put length.
