Tigerwoods loosing his cool at the Masters


Television mics pick up a frustrated Tiger Woods saying things heapos;d probably prefer we didnapos;t hear - April 10, 2010 - In his February public apology, Tiger Woods vowed he would show more respect to the game of golf. No more fist pumping, no more club tossing and no more profanity-laden outbursts after bad shots. He made it about 42 holes. During Saturdayapos;s third round of The Masters, Woods repeatedly cursed at himself loudly enough for television microphones to pick it up and air it live on CBS. The mini-temper tantrums came during a stretch on the front nine when Woods made three bogeys in four holes. After a poorly-struck tee shot on the par-3 6th hole, Tiger closed his eyes in disgust and loudly said, quot;Tiger Woods, you suck.quot; He followed that with a Commandment-breaking expletive and a shake of the head.

He ran his birdie putt nearly 20 feet past the hole and ended up with a bogey four. On the next hole, Woods cursed again after a wayward approach shot. He would go on to card another bogey. It seems that Tiger still canapos;t control his emotions on the golf course, which isnapos;t too big of a deal. It was silly that he ever thought he would be able to instantly change years of reflexive golf habits or that doing so would have any bearing on his other issues. Itapos;s also silly that television networks continue to put live microphones on athletes and expect them to speak like choirboys. To their credit, Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo of CBS Sports later addressed Tigerapos;s outburst during a sit down in Butler Cabin. Nantz, in particular, seemed embarrassed, while Faldo attributed the salty language to Tigerapos;s usual on-course temper.
