How Much Fun am I Having Right Now?

Tiger loses in the first round of the HSBC Matchplay. I read the following on Travelgolf.com last week. Somehow I don't think Sergio's losing any sleep over his 'challenge' to Tiger. LOLOL

The war of words has begun.

Most of the golfing world is familiar with Tiger Woods’ reaction to slights, either real or perceived. Ask Vijay Singh, whose caddy wore a hat that said “Tiger Who?” during their singles match in the 2000 Presidents Cup – a systematic 2 & 1 loss for Singh. (I had the good fortune to personally witness that one.) Ask Stephen Ames, who referred to Woods’ poor driving prior to their match in the WGC Match Play – an 9 & 8 spanking. There have been other instances. And afterwards, Woods always lets it be known that those sort of things help him get greater focus.

This time it’s the petulant Sergio Garcia who has thrown down the gauntlet, inviting a monster performance from El Tigre. Garcia had this to say about Woods in an interview prior to the Omega Masters, “Fortunately for us, he doesn’t have a great Ryder Cup record so I’m looking forward to hopefully going out there and meeting him two or three times.”

I'm guessing that Woods already has that article posted on his refrigerator door, so he'll have to read it every day. Be prepared, Sergio, be very prepared.
