EMONT, Ill. (AP) - Playing next to Tiger Woods for two days was daunting enough. It was when Steve Stricker watched him from 200 yards away on an elevated tee that he realized how tough it would be to beat him Sunday in the BMW Championship.
He arrived on the par-3 12th tee in time to see Woods, in his customary black pants and red shirt, rap a putt that travelled from one side of the green to the other until the ball disappeared after a 50-foot journey and gave Woods an unlikely birdie.
"It looked like he looked back to make sure that we were watching him make birdie," Stricker said.
Not so, Woods replied.
"I didn't do a Sergio," Woods said with a smile, referring to when Sergio Garcia stared him down at nearby Medinah eight years ago in a fruitless chase at the PGA Championship.
See I actually have been looking to hear a little beef at some point. Here lately golf has been nothing but Tiger Tiger Tiger and that just kills me. I wish that it wasn't all about about him, It seems as if Tiger is the only player of the game these days.
