Tiger Woods: Par
built 238 days ago
It is possible that Tiger Woods and his family did not fully anticipate the implications of his success. For one, African Americans promptly heralded Woods as the next "Great Black Hope." Woods, in turn, sought to distance himself from the people who wanted to pigeonhole him. He did not want to assume the role of a crusader. Again and again he pointed out to the press that he was not only African American but ... part Thai, part Chinese, and part Indian. On applications requesting ethnic identity, he described himself as Asian.

How does Tiger generate so much clubhead speed and power at impact? He has god-given talent...and always has, and he is so strong! Without a doubt, the strongest player on tour! Vijay singh is a close second, but Tiger is 10 years younger, so youth does play a minor part.

Needing three players to make bogey with one hole to go to get into a playoff, Tiger Woods decided that he didn’t want to stick around for an extra day all for the grand prize of finishing in third place. Apparently, heading home rather than sticking around on a Monday to particpate in a forgone conclusion was not Tiger’s idea of a fine time.

On Tiger's first day of kindergarten, a group of boys tied him to a tree, threw rocks at him, and shouted racial slurs. Tiger's parents wouldn't let him practice until he had all of his schoolwork done.

Tiger started Sunday in the final group, two shots behind then leader, Aaron Baddeley. To say Baddeley played poorly on Sunday would not only be a terrible pun, but ... a huge understatement. The man who had the best putting average of the field going into Sunday suddenly could not sink anything and finished with a 10-over par 80 for his final round.
