Woods shares latest win with young son Charlie
Print Edition
Tiger Woods played safe and smart with a big lead, parring 16 holes in an even-par 70 on Sunday to coast to a seven-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, for his eighth win at the event — matching the PGA Tour record he shares for victories in a single tournament.
“As blustery as it was, it was going to be really hard for someone to shoot 62 or 63,” Woods said.
“If I didn’t give any shots away and played my game and shot even par or better, I’d force these guys to go and shoot something super low on a golf course that wasn’t going to give it up under these conditions.”
As he walked to the scorer’s trailer to finalize his score, he scooped up four-year-old son Charlie, who hugged him tightly as his father strode past the large gallery wildly cheering his landslide victory.
“This is the first win he’s ever been at,” Woods, who notched his 79th PGA Tour triumph, said. “That’s what makes it special for both of us.”
Daughter Sam was on hand when Woods, won the US Open in 2008, before his personal life imploded.
“They always say, ‘Daddy, when are you going to win the tournament?’ It was a few years there, or a couple years, I hadn’t won anything,” Woods said, smiling. “’Are you leading or not? That’s a stock question. ‘Not leading.’ ‘Well, are you going to start leading?’ ‘Well, I’m trying.’
“So this week was nice to be able to get the lead and I held it, and it was awfully special for me to have (Charlie) here to witness it,” he said.
