AS ADAM SCOTT celebrated his first World Golf Championship win at Firestone yesterday, caddie Steve Williams was more interested in getting in a cheap dig at his former employer, Tiger Woods.
Once seen as one of Tiger’s closest confidants, Williams was Woods’ bagman for 12 years before the two unexpectedly parted ways last month.
Together, Williams and Woods won 13 Majors — three Masters, three Open Championships, three US Opens, and four PGA Championships.
But, as the New Zealander celebrated his first taste of glory with Scott last night, he told CBS Sports that it was “the greatest week of his life.”
“I have been caddying for more than 30 years now. I have won 145 times and that is the best win of my life,” Williams said.
“A lot has been said this week and it is great to back it up. I back myself as a frontrunner as a caddie and I have won again. It’s been the most fun thing.
It’s the greatest week of my life caddying, and I sincerely mean that.
Woods, making his return to the course after a three-month absence, finished in a tie for 37th place, 18 shots behind Scott on one over par.
As a Dub we have had some serious battles over the past 5 years with mayo and I don’t like them but I have huge admiration for them and there players. 50/50 next Saturday really looking forward to it.
It was a very good game, I don’t think the conditions had too much of an effect. Mayo surprised me big time, I sincerely thought they would not be at this stage of the championship after last years heartache but they are and they seem to be getting better with every game. If they had one more forward of the calibre of Moran they’d be very hard to beat. Kerry on the other hand had to rely on their vast experience to counter-act a sub-par performance, are they as bad as they were yesterday or was it just a blip? Anyway, hopefully the replay will be as good a game, look forward as a neutral to another enthralling game.
Interesting. The Kerry full back line looked like a herd of sheep going into a field for the first time. Maybe a billy could help them out instead of Tomas’ buddy.
Agree with some of the analysis but for me Mayo pushed up and hadnt the legs to get back to defend as we will see Tyrone and Dublin will filter back. I thought Moran was outstanding for Kerry. Its 50/50 for the replay but Mayo by one for me so the Dubs can beat them in another Final pg.
@Vinny Hughes: I didn’t know the other semi final was already played!
@Vinny Hughes:
Remember the red HAND OF ULSTER Vinny .your not there to beat anyone yet ,,,!!!!!!!’
