Brutal Tiger

TALKING ahead of his latest comeback, Tiger Woods was reminded of the time Stephen Ames, ahead of their meeting in the 2006 WGC Matchplay, said he felt he had a chance because of the way his opponent was hitting it. Tiger won 9 and 8. “I just had to show him that I could still play,” Woods said. “And you have no idea how ticked I was when I missed a putt on the 10th to beat him 10 and 8.”

Oh, golf fans do, Tiger. That is why one of sport’s greatest competitors is always welcomed back.
