 Tiger
Woods setter sitt tydelige preg på golf og mediabildet
21.12 Tigers betydning for golf:
Enorm!
Golf uten Tiger Woods og med Tiger Woods er to helt forskjellige ting.
Et meget godt bevis på det er Golfchannels web-sider hvor de 10 mest leste
story'ene er listet opp. Ni av artiklene handler om Tiger Woods og/eller hans
caddy Steve Williams. De handler om både seieren hans Chevron World Challenge,
en pølse som ble kastet mot Tiger, et tilbakeblikk på de to siste årene, hans
nye caddy osv.
Den siste historien, nr 8 på listen handler om Padraig Harrington da han kom
borti ballen med mynten da han skulle legge ballen tilbake ved markering på
greenen. Ballen hadde flyttet seg "a fraction of an inch". Her er litt av
artikkelen:
The Irishman said he clearly remembered the incident and that he knew he had
touched the ball when picking up his coin. However, he said that “at that moment
I established that the ball hadn’t moved” and therefore didn’t call over the
referee.
But tournament organizers said a television viewer e-mailed European Tour
officials to point out that the ball had moved from its original decision. After
reviewing slow-motion replays of the footage, Harrington said he was forced to
agree.
“This morning I came in and watched it on the TV,” he said. “I think with an
unbiased view of it, I would comfortably say 99 percent, the ball moved three
dimples forward and moved back a dimple, a dimple and a half.”
European Tour referee Andy McFee said he was confident Harrington didn’t
deliberately cheat, but that “the fact that Padraig was totally unaware that
this ball has moved doesn’t unfortunately help him.”
Men det er nyheter rundt Tiger Woods som er mest interessante. Slik er det og
slik vil det bli. Trolig i mange år fremover.
