Locked in a fierce battle to win the AT&T National, the tournament he founded in 2007, Tiger Woods stood at the eighth tee Sunday at Congressional Country Club, just outside Washington, D.C. Although he enjoyed overwhelming support from the majority of fans on the storm-ravaged course, littered with toppled trees and fallen foliage, the well-wishers weren’t unanimous.
“Shank it, Tiger, into the trees!” someone fake-shouted under his breath after Woods teed off.
Much to that fan’s chagrin, Woods didn’t oblige. In fact, Woods went on to win the tournament, which gives him three victories in his last seven starts and moves him to No. 1 in PGA Tour points for the first time in 100 weeks.
“There was a time when people were saying I could never win again,” Woods said afterward. “That was, I think, what, six months ago? Here we are … It was just a matter of time. ”
