Tiger shares in Daly’s despair

THREE great golfers dominated the American Express World Championship that ended in San Francisco on Sunday night.

One, champion Tiger Woods, left the city by the bay in the happiest possible frame of mind. Another, Colin Montgomerie, led for much of the way but happily settled for a share of third place.

But for John Daly, who had the championship in his pocket for much of the final nine holes, there was nothing but despair after he handed the title on a plate to Woods by three-putting the 17th and then missing a two-footer at the second extra hole.
