Tiger Woods suffered a temporary meltdown on Friday in Boston at the Deutsche Bank Championship or was it really at the Barclays Tournament a week ago? Some reports are saying the temper tantrum occurred on the 16th tee at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey. Yet, others are swearing it happened while the golf icon was teeing off on the par 4 fifth hole just three days ago.
In any case, the video below shows that he sent his drive well right of the fairway. Without missing a beat, he sent his driver flying while bellowing, “Release the club!” Caddie Steve Williams retrieved the offending club from the knee deep rough.
The clip was put on YouTube on September 5th but is clearly labeled Barclays. Several internet sources, with stories dated earlier than last Friday, claim the Tiger ‘fit’ was last weeks news. In an attempt at full disclosure – we can’t confirm when it occurred…just that it did.
Tiger was tied for 9th place going into fourth round play on Monday, September 7, 2009. In a five way tie at the top of the leaderboard were Jason Dufner, Padraig Harrington, Steve Stricker, Retief Goosen and Sean O’Hair.
