Tiger the Caddie


How cool would this be? Tiger Woods showed up at Torrey Pines on Monday and caddied the back nine of the South Course for a 59-year-old high handicapper from New Jersey. Woods drove up to the 10th tee in a golf cart and told John Abel, "Hey, I hear you're looking for a caddie. I'm Tiger Woods -- pleased to meet you." Abel won a sweepstakes sponsored by Buick, which also sponsored the Buick Open at Torrey Pines, site of Tiger’s U.S. Open victory in June. Woods offered Abel advice, cleaned his clubs and lined up putts. The pin on 18 Monday was in the same place as it was during the final round of regulation at the U.S. Open -- front right -- when Woods made a 12-foot birdie putt to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate. After the round, Woods dropped a ball in the same spot and let Abel attempt the putt, which he missed.
