Re: Tiger refuses an interview after loss to Mike Weir

He's done it before...I don't necessarily think Tiger is a sore loser, but he's not a particularly gracious one, either, especially when compared to the guys whose records he's shattering/nearing. I think Diane's on to something...the few times I've caught Tiger's post-round interview after a loss, he was not very gracious...he would mention his opponent but usually it was full of "I just " or "I hit it like " I think it's gotten to where if Tiger doesn't win the commentators don't even think about getting the interview, they know he won't do it, especially if it's a particularly disappointing loss. Even Tiger could stand a dose of humility. But, hey, he's a golfer, not a politician or diplomat...yet.
