Fan throws hot dog at Tiger Woods at Frys.com Open



SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Tiger Woods ……………………………(be) sure to make news at CordeValle in his first tournament in seven weeks. Only it ……………………………(negative - be) from any of his scores or any of his shots. It ……………………………(be) from a hot dog.

As he …………………………… (stand) over a putt on the seventh green in the Frys.com Open, he …………………………… (hear) a commotion from security and …………………………… (see) remnants of a hot dog being tossed in his direction.

A 31-year-old fan from Santa Rosa ……………………………(yell) out Tiger Woods's name and ……………………………(throw) a hot dog at the former No. 1 player in the world in the final round on Sunday.

"Some guy ……………………………(come) running on the green, and he ……………………………(have) a hot dog, and evidently he ……………………………(throw) it, but I ………………………… (focus) on my putt when he ………………………… (start - yell)," said Woods, who ……………………………(negative seem) bothered by it.

"He ……………………………(be) far away from me," Woods said, "and when he ……………………………(start - make) the commotion, I ……………………………(hear) the security behind me--I was still……………………………(bend) over my putt. And when I ……………………………(look) up the hot dog ……………………………(be) already in the air."

The fan ……………………………(be) cooperative.

According to Woods, "The man immediately ………………………(get) down on the ground, ……………………………(put) his hands behind his head and ……………………………(allow) security to handcuff him without resistance" said the 14-time major winner.

Woods ……………………………(stop) his pre-shot routine and …………………………… (miss) his birdie try, but he ………………………(do) birdie the par-5 ninth hole, his final hole of the day, for his third consecutive 68.

Sgt. Jose Cardoza said the man ……………………………(arrest) for disturbing the peace and ……………………………(remove) from the property. The man …………………………… (negative - go) to jail and his name ……………………………(negative - disclose). Cardoza also said the man ……………………………(acknowledge) having a drink earlier in the day, but the man ……………………………(negative - be) drunk.

The fan later ……………………………(deny) throwing the hot dog at Woods, saying it simply ……………………………(slip) out of his hands.


A Golf Channel employee ……………………………(catch) the incident on tape, but following most sports leagues' policy on streakers and other fans who willfully ……………………………(disrupt) play, the PGA Tour ……………………………(choose) not to air it.

"I guess he ……………………………(want) to be in the news," Woods said, "and I'm sure he ……………………………(be)."
