Sabbatini made to pay for trash talk

A CERTAIN Steve Banky became something of a household name in American golfing circles at the weekend.

An exuberant Tiger Woods fan, he heckled Rory Sabbatini during the final round of the Bridgestone WGC Invitational at Akron. Peeved that the feisty South African has repeatedly told the world that he believed he would beat Woods whenever the opportunity presented itself for a head-to-head between the pair, Banky saw his chance as the players approached near the 9th fairway.

“Hey, Rory, do you still think Tiger is beatable?” he shouted.
