Brendan Jones, an Australian who has spent most of his golfing career in Japan and once sold used cars to supplement his income, said his hopes of spoiling Tiger Woods's return to competition are slim to non-existent.

Jones, the 64th-ranked golfer in the world, will face Woods tomorrow in the first round of the World Golf Championship Match Play event.

It will be the first competitive round for Woods since having knee surgery eight months ago following his U.S. Open victory.
