Stuck in the rough, Tiger goes to ground

TIGER WOODS could not even bring himself to make an appearance on his own website last night as he apologised for the “transgressions” that have exposed the golfing god as an ordinary mortal, away from the course at least.

As US tabloids upped the ante in the celebrity witchhunt stakes with revelations of extra-marital affairs conducted by golf’s number one, Woods issued the first substantive statement on the matter since his world began to come crashing down early last Friday morning.

Achilles took an arrow in the heel, Samson lost his flowing locks and Woods, well, where a dodgy knee failed to get him, a rogue fire hydrant at the end of his driveway proved more than up to the task.
