Woods eyes up US Open return

Tiger Woods looks set to be fit to tee-off at the US Open after stepping up his recovery from knee surgery.
The world number one is on course to compete at Torry Pines on June 12 for the second major of the year, but first he has set his sights on returning at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio at the end of May.
Woods, who has so far only putted and chipped, has had three operations altogether on the same knee and has even attempted to adjust his swing to lessen the burden on the joint.
He told CNN: "I'm getting sick and tired of riding the bike, though. That gets old fast.
"I'm chipping and putting. I'm not doing anything beyond that. Hopefully I'll start hitting balls, start progressing soon and work my way up the bag.
"It has gotten better and hopefully it will continue to get better."
