Tiger Woods denies he has differences with long-term caddie Steve Williams

Washington, June 30 (ANI): World No.1 golfer Tiger Woods has rubbished speculation that he is having differences with his longtime caddie Steve Williams.

The rumours were sparked by Woods' comments after he finished fourth at the US Open at Pebble Beach, when he said: "We made three mental mistakes. The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the US Open."

According to Fox Sports, Woods was forced to deny rumors at a press conference ahead of his defence of the AT and T National tournament in Pennsylvania this weekend.

"There's no tension there, not at all," Woods said.

"You guys are reading way too much into it.

"I was asked what happened out there, and I made three mental mistakes - three mistakes I don't normally make.

"Do Stevie and I make mistakes on the golf course? Of course we do. We're not perfect. We made mistakes at the wrong time. It happens.

"Hopefully, that won't happen this week and we can win an event."

Woods and New Zealander Williams have worked together since 1999. (ANI)
