DUBLIN, Ohio -- Almost two weeks before hell play it with a U. Seattle Seahawks Wilson Jersey .S. Open on the line, Tiger Woods tested his game at The Olympic Club on Tuesday. Then, he sat down on a comfy red couch and mingled with a group of hand-picked fans in an online chat that touched on everything from if he can regain his winning ways to whether hes still having fun playing golf. "Were excited about what were working on. I hadnt played well in a couple of weeks but we know what it is," Woods said of problems in his swing that have been addressed by him and swing coach Sean Foley. "Its a matter of getting reps in and getting the trust in it." Woods took questions from several fans including a sergeant with the Ohio National Guard, Olympic triple-jump hopeful Erica McLain and others. NBC golf analyst Roger Maltbie also participated in the 34-minute chat -- called a "hangout." Woods practiced at Olympic earlier in the day. He said he hit a 9-iron into one green on the Lake Course that bounced flag high. "Its going to be one heck of a test," Woods said. After playing in temperatures in the 40s, Woods -- wearing a black cap and black sweater with a blue shirt peeking through at the collar -- went on a webcam for his close-up. Woods has won 14 majors, but none since the 2008 U.S. Open. He was headed Tuesday evening for the Memorial, founded by Jack Nicklaus, who won a record 18 majors. That remains Woods ultimate goal. "I figure its going to take a career," Woods said. "It took Jack 24 years. This is my 17th year into it. I still feel like Ive got plenty of time. Its about giving myself the most amount of opportunities to win them on the back nine on Sunday. The more chances I give myself, I figure Im going to clip a few of them." There were few if any revelations in the chat. This is the second time this year that Woods has not met with reporters at a tournament but instead reached out to friends and fans online. Speaking after a practice round at the Memorial, Masters champion Bubba Watson was asked if he would consider going online to reach out to his biggest fans. "Tigers online chat? I actually think its neat. I can see that working out for me," he said. "Again, I dont come to the media centre as much as he does, so I still like this. I feel cool up here. Yeah, I could see doing something like that, but Id still come to the local media and talk here. He does it every week no matter how he plays, so its still new to me." Watson has been besieged by requests from sponsors, tournaments, media and others since his dramatic win in April at Augusta National. He said hes just learning now what its like to be in such demand. "Ive got a lot more friends than I used to have," he said with a wide grin. "I wasnt very popular before, but now Ive gotten a lot more popular." Questions on Woods website ranged from who he looked up to the most as a kid to why he didnt recapture some of his old championship magic by switching from Foley back to former swing coach Butch Harmon. Mixed in were some responses from awed fans. "No questions," wrote NateDogg8896. "Just wanted to say youre the most amazing person on the planet." Another poster wondered why Woods is now wearing white golf shoes so often. After winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational in late March, Woods came into the Masters as a favourite. He finished tied for 40th there, missed the cut at the Wells Fargo and then tied for 40th again at The Players two weeks ago. Woods said he still has fun playing golf, despite the meltdown he had during the Masters that included kicking a club and swearing. "I love competing, mixing it up with the guys, trying to beat all of them," Woods said. "Thats the rush, thats the fun. Obviously its a lot more fun when youre winning than when youre 40th. Thats something Im still working on." Elite Marshawn Lynch Jersey .

BARCELONA, Spain -- Lionel Messis stoppage-time goal salvaged a 2-2 draw for Barcelona at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, as Spanish leader Real Madrid moved three points clear with its 7-1 thrashing of 10-man Osasuna. Midfielder Ander Herrera put Bilbao ahead in the 20th minute at San Mames stadium before Cesc Fabregas drew the visitors even with a header four minutes later. Bilbao appeared set to get the win after Gerard Pique scored an own goal in the 80th, but Messi slotted home his league-leading 14th goal in the 91st to split the points. "At the end we showed our mettle," said Fabregas, whose Barcelona remained undefeated in 18 games in all competitions to start the season. Earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fourth hat trick in 11 league games this season as Madrid demolished Osasuna at home. Under steady rain, Barcelona and Bilbao set a frenetic, up-and-down pace from the start. Bilbao coach Marcelo Bielsa sought to beat Barcelona at its own game by pressing the European champions and looking for young playmakers Iker Muniain and Ander to create chances for Spain striker Fernando Llorente. "We aimed to take the game to them," Ander said. Bilbaos daring approach paid off when Ander received a pass from Markel Susaeta at the edge of the area and curled his right footer into the right side of the net for the opener. Bilbao goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz did well to block Dani Alves strike from a set piece, but could do nothing when Fabregas rose above his marker to guide home Eric Abidals well-placed cross to momentarily silence the crowd. Puddles of water appeared on the pitch after halftime, slowing down the ball but not the flow of the game. Bilbao went ahead for the second time when Abidals clearance took a deflection off Llorente before Pique inadvertently redirected in into his own net. But in the dying moments Messi pounced on his own rebound to fire it into the corner of the net to earn the away draw. Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was full of praise for both teams. "How they run, Ive never seen a team run so much, how they plug the spaces. Its absolutely (a Bielsa) team," Guardiola said about Bilbao, which is undefeated in 10 straight games overall. "What a spectacle these 22 players put on. This is one of the best games that I have been in and thats because both teams went out to win." Even so, this is the ffirst time Barcelona has trailed Madrid by three points since Guardiola took over as coach of his former team three years ago. Youth Bruce Irvin Jersey. At Santiago Bernabeu stadium, Madrid had little trouble recording its seventh consecutive league win. Angel Di Maria set up Madrids 23rd-minute opener when he picked out Ronaldo at the near post with a cross for the Portugal forward to flick into the net. "My goals are not important, what counts is that the team wins," said Ronaldo, who has scored 13 goals in the league and 17 overall. Ibrahima Balde pulled one back for Osasuna in the 30th, but any thoughts of an upset quickly evaporated as four minutes later Di Maria sent in another cross for Pepe to head home at the far post. The 23-year-old Di Maria then completed his playmaking display with his league-leading 10th assist in the 40th when he slid the ball into the area for Gonzalo Higuain to curl into the right side of the net. Di Maria was taken off on a stretcher for an apparent leg injury early in the second half, but Madrid continued to roll when Ronaldo fired in a penalty in the 54th after defender Eneko Sartustegi was sent off with his second booking for fouling Mesut Oezil in the area. "The first half was tough for us playing against a well organized team, but after they equalized we had a little luck to go back ahead," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said. "Then in the second half it is difficult for any team to play with 10 men." Ronaldo headed in a cross from Alvaro Arbeloa in the 58th before Karim Benzema, who replaced Di Maria, scored from inside the area in the 63rd and 81st. Turkey midfielder Nuri Sahin debuted for Madrid as a substitute after having recovered from a nagging leg injury sustained in the preseason. Also, 10-man Getafe jumped from last place to 14th after rallying to beat Atletico Madrid 3-2.
