Feherty on Tiger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"People have accused me of being so far up Tiger's backside that he can barely
make a full swing, but I maintain that he is a special person. There's no
one else on the planet who can do what he does or even think of doing what
he does. I've often thought, instead of showing Tiger's reaction to a shot
he's hit, we really should show the reaction of those around him.
But here is the next best thing. I'm walking down the 18th fairway at
Firestone Country Club with Ernie Els and Tiger, who has popped up a
three-wood about 40 yards behind Ernie into some wet, nasty, horrible,
six-inch rough.
Tiger's cursing and taking clumps out of Ohio with his three-wood. And, of
course, we're not showing this on TV because we want to be able to interview
him later. Ernie and I walk past Tiger's ball, and it is truly buried.
Ernie is tied with Tiger and he's in the middle of the fairway. I'm
standing with Ernie and my microphone is open. Ken Venturi [in the CBS
booth] sends it to me and I say, "
Tiger's got 184 yards with two big red
oaks overhanging the green. He's got absolutely nothing. With a stick of
dynamite and a sand wedge I might be able to move this ball 50 yards." Steve
Williams [Woods' caddie] tells me [with a hand signal] that
he's using a
pitching wedge.
Tiger takes his swing. Every muscle in his body is flung at the ball. It
looks like he's torn his scrotum. The divot went as far as I could hit the
ball. I've got my microphone at my mouth thinking, what the heck was that!
The ball sails over the trees, lands behind the hole and backs up to about
six feet from the flag. I open my microphone and Ernie turns and says, " ^$%#*&
me!" My producer comes on in my earpiece and says, "Was that Ernie?" I say yes.
He says, "Fair enough."
I could have described that shot for 15 minutes and not done as good a job
as Ernie did with two words. This is one of the best players in the world
talking, and you wanna know how good Tiger is? Ask Ernie Els."
