I'm not much of a golf fan, but due to being raised in a family of golfers, I occasionally check out what's going on in the PGA. Today's headline on the front page of The Akron Beacon Journal says "Erratic Woods tied for 72nd after second round," with a large picture of Tiger Woods looking disappointed.
After the second round of the 2010 Bridgestone Invitational, Woods was tied for 72nd. There is only 80 people in the competition. He hasn't done too hot in previous competitions either. The general media can't help but point to the very public problems Woods has had in the last couple of years. My mother keeps repeating her theory that Tiger is still shaken up from his infidelity and public demise. No one has seen Tiger golf so poorly since before he became a pro. Most athletes have downtime, but his is magnified by his "off-the-course" mistakes. If I were him, I may take some time away from golf (and the public) and figure out what the deeper problem might be.
