WHILE Adam Scott celebrated the biggest victory of his career at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday, his caddie Steve Williams took a few verbal jabs at his former employer Tiger Woods.
New Zealander Williams described Scott's victory "as the most satisfying of his career," despite having previously won 13 majors in tandem with Woods.
Williams also took issue with the manner of his firing by Woods on July 3, saying the split had been conducted over the phone and not face-to-face as his former employer has said.
"It's the most satisfying win I've ever had, there's no two ways about it," Williams told reporters. "The fans have been unbelievable. It's the greatest week of my life caddying and I sincerely mean that."
Williams was stunned when Woods abruptly decided to end a highly successful relationship dating back to 1999.
Woods explained during a news conference how he had parted company with Williams.
"We had a nice conversation," the 14-time major winner said. "We did it after he completed play at AT&T National up in the boardroom. It was a tough conversation but we said what we needed to say to each other face-to-face and man-to-man."
Williams disagreed.
"I was told on the phone that we need to take a break and, in caddie lingo, that means you're fired, simple as that," he said.
"At the AT&T the details of why I was fired were discussed, and that's for my own personal stuff."
