Tiger Blogs About Augusta, Quail And His 63

In a blog posted on his website, Tiger Woods says the warm reaction from the gallery at the Masters was more than he expected and something he won't forget.

Woods says in his blog that finishing fourth after his layoff and all that has happened in his life was "pretty cool."

He reiterated his desire to control his emotional outbursts after television captured him cursing at himself during the Masters and added that he will continue to officially commit to tournaments earlier than in the past, if he can.

Woods also made a point in his blog to congratulate Phil Mickelson on his Masters victory and acknowledge Lorena Ochoa's retirement from golf.

Woods said he went scuba diving and spent time with his family after the Masters. He also shot 63 at Isleworth with his friend, John Cook, making a double-eagle in the process.

As for his upcoming visit to Charlotte, Woods wrote: "Next week, I return to competition at the Quail Hollow Championship in North Carolina. Quail Hollow Club is one of my favorite courses on tour. It's traditional, right in front of you, difficult, and you have to shape shots both ways. I managed to win there in 2007 and look forward to going back."
