Cheyenne Woods aiming for breakthrough

Cheyenne Woods feels she's poised to come into her own as a golfer in 2014 and move away from being merely Tiger Woods' niece.

Cheyenne Woods is determined to prove she's more than just Tiger Woods' niece and feels this year will be her time to do just that.

The American golfer heads into the second half of the Australian Ladies Masters at Royal Pines in a share of the lead and with a realistic shot at the biggest win so far in her career.

Woods turned professional in 2012 and so far has one win to her name, the 2012 SunCoast Ladies Series event.

But maintaining her form over the final two rounds at the Ladies Masters would present her with the chance to land a significant tournament for the first time as a pro.

It's all part of what Woods hopes will be year where the world No.363 firmly establishes herself in the game's highest echelons.

"Playing on the European tour last year was a great preparation, I learned a lot," Woods said.

"I had a lot of great experiences and I think that this year, my second full year out on tour, I think it's going to be a good year.

"I'll play European Tour and then also Sumatra Tour and I'm feel really good with where my game is so I'm looking forward to it."
