Woods will play four holes with four other people on Monday.

Thomas said he tried to get information from Woods on how to play the course.

Thomas said a small amount. I'm trying to get as much off of him as I can because he's done well around this place and I understand he's going to be a little withholding of some information.

Thomas said that he didn't have any doubts about Woods' chances of competing again. I've learned more about him than I have about anyone else.
