I was thinking about this, and I realized how impossible it would be for Tiger to try this. The few times I made the mistake of trying to follow him, it seem like he had his hands full just trying to block out people from running him over.
We had someone out here moon him from a balcony that I don't know if he saw or not, but it took awhile for the crowd to calm down, as well as the constant burst of "support/encouragement" people yell.

I did like following Jesper Parnivik around though. He was a crack up with us.
