Spieth ready for big show — Phoenix and Tiger

(AP) — Tiger Woods faced dozens of reporters and cameras, a big gathering in a crowded section outside the clubhouse at the TPC Scottsdale. The Waste Management Phoenix Open was once called the greatest show on turf, although a big part of it has become the Tiger show, not unlike several weeks on the PGA Tour. Spieth actually predicted to his friends a few weeks ago that he would wind up in the same group with Woods for the opening two rounds, "just because the last two times he's come back from injuries, I've been paired with him." Before that, he missed the cut at the PGA Championship when he was not fully recovered from his back surgery. He had a two-shot lead in the final round at the Masters with 11 holes to play until Bubba Watson surged past him. [...] he finished the year in style with a big rally on Sunday to win the Australian Open, and a 10-shot win over the small but world-class field at Isleworth. What he learned the last two tournaments was to stay patient on Sunday when he hears the roars around him of other players doing well. For a Wednesday pro-am, the crowd in the stadium atmosphere was larger than anyone could remember — some 15,000 people or more, not an empty seat in any of the bleachers or sky boxes that enclose the hole.
