St. Louis, Missouri ….
It was a nightmare start for Tiger Woods in bogeying the first and then doubling his second hole to be three-over par after just two holes.
What happened next could most off guard.
Woods’ caddy Joe LaCava dug into Woods’ ‘Monster Energy’ golf bag and pulled out a fresh Nike logo shirt.
The 14-time Major winner ducked into a closeby ‘portaloo’ on the 12th tee and the third hole of Woods round.
Woods stood tall on the 12th tee and sent a 312-yard drive to the middle of the fairway before playing a 138-yard second shot and guess what?
A first birdie and just the turnaround in fortune Woods needed in ending the day with a hard-fought level par 70.
And it was not long into Woods’ post-round interview he was asked about the change of clothing on the third tee.
“In the summertime, yeah. As you know, I sweat a lot, and I lose a bunch of weight. I have the hardest time during summer maintaining weight,” said Woods.
“No matter what I eat, no matter what I drink, I just can’t maintain weight. So this heat is one of the issues that I have.
“Normally I change before the round. There wasn’t a place to change on the 10th tee. So I waited until we had a little port-a-John there.”
Well done, Tiger!
