BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - It's not often that a player is bold enough
to challenge Tiger Woods on the golf course. Rarer still is when it
happens during a pro-am round from one of his amateur partners.
"That still puts me 1 up," Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony
Romo told him this morning.
"Does it, now?" Woods replied, not sounding the least bit
concerned.
The world's No. 1 player then smoked a fairway metal down the
17th at Congressional Country Club. Romo, a scratch player who
asked to play from the championship tees, followed with a 3-wood
that traveled about a yard farther.
On the par-3 second, Romo appeared to have the edge when Woods
bladed a bunker shot over the green and into the gallery. He didn't
finish out the hole. Romo three-putted from the fringe.
They didn't mention the stakes or how many shots Woods gave Romo
- if any - although it had a familiar conclusion.
The bold move by Woods was playing with the Cowboys' quarterback
in Washington Redskins country, and while it attracted a large
gallery for the 6:30 a.m. tee time, the cheers and jeers were
relatively tame.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
