\n Gary Woodland has often struggled to find his game<\/a> since the PGA Tour came back from its COVID-19 pause.<\/p>\n

A return to the U.S. Open as the defending champion could be the shot in the arm he needs to get going again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I haven\u2019t played great, it\u2019s tough sometimes to get energy and get things moving [without fans],\u201d Woodland said Tuesday at Winged Foot. \u201cComing back here being the defending champ, I have a lot of energy, a lot of good emotion that I\u2019ve kind of struggled with the last couple months. I\u2019m excited to be back here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was special for me last year. But this week I think I\u2019m excited that being the defending champ I have some emotion, I have some energy, and hopefully I can ride that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woodland put together a breakthrough performance at Pebble Beach to capture the 2019 U.S. Open, his first major championship, by shooting 13-under and fending off two-time defending champ Brooks Koepka.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old has not won a tournament since, with his best finish this year coming at the Workday Charity Open in July, when he shot a 12-under at Muirfield Village to finish tied for fifth. But in five events since then, Woodland has either missed the cut (The Northern Trust) or finished over par and well off the lead, including a 2-over at the PGA Championship in August to place tied for 58th.<\/p>\n

Along the way, Woodland has started working with a new swing coach, Justin Parsons. His coach when he won the U.S. Open last year, Pete Cowen, has been unable to travel<\/a> to the United States because of COVID-19, \u201cso I was practicing hard, but just probably practicing the wrong things,\u201d Woodland said. Parsons came to Woodland\u2019s house last week to work together for the first time outside of a tournament, which he is hoping pays dividends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat just kind of freed me up, kind of communications, back to similar stuff I was hearing before and just kind of freeing me up and getting some of the bad stuff out of my head and coming out here this week with a little bit more confidence for sure,\u201d said Woodland, who will tee off at 1:05 p.m. Thursday with Shane Lowry and amateur Andy Ogletree.<\/p>\n

Woodland has also heard from another former coach, Butch Harmon, the New Rochelle native whose father, Claude, was the longtime head pro at Winged Foot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish Butchy was here this week,\u201d Woodland said. \u201cLike he always told me, there\u2019s no tricks to this place, you\u2019ve just got to go out and hit good golf shots. He always told me it set up well for me, and I\u2019m going to take that with me this week.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
