Tiger bares teeth on slow play fiasco as Harrington holds fire

TIGER WOODS flexed his considerable muscle as one of the most powerful men in golf last night when he threw more fuel on the blaze of controversy that has been raging since he accused a European Tour rules official of sabotaging the climax of Sunday’s Bridgestone Invitational.

As Pádraig Harrington revealed that he did some “comfort eating” by treating himself to his first burger of the season after “messing up” a golden opportunity to get one over on the game’s top player, Woods refused to back down or apologise for personalising the slow play drama that unfolded at Firestone by naming and shaming John Paramor as the party pooper.

More dramatically, he revealed while he has been spoken to by the PGA Tour for his remarks, he has not been fined for saying: “I’m sorry that John got in the way of a great battle.”
