Tiger Woods: Golf Update

Tiger Woods used to say that he was driven to work hard because he understood the day would come when a player would arrive to take what was his.
In telling the story a few years ago, he even nominated that golfer’s age as 12.Turns out Woods may not have had as much time as he thought.

Maybe the kid’s just three days short of his 21st birthday?
Or maybe he’s 19 and lives in Japan?The spiritual symmetry of this weekend in golf was inescapable.Woods, his private life and golf game both in disarray, missed the cut at the Quail Hollow Championship.On Sunday, Rory McIlroy roared like a young Tiger, obliterating the course record at one of the most exacting tests in golf with a breathtaking 10-under round of 62.Unlike many tour pros happy to cash a check, this kid never looked like he was playing for second place prize money as he won his first title in the United States and only the second of his young career.
