Now Tiger Has a Sense Of Humor?!?!

Tiger Woods fired a seven-under 65 Thursday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the Chevron World Challenge, a tournament in Thousand Oaks that benefits Woods' charity. Woods has won the 18-player event at the Sherwood Country Club course four times, but the former No. 1 golfer hasn't had a victory this year in the aftermath of his sensational sex scandal. "It's nice to play well," Woods said. "I played solid all day" despite not sinking many long putts, he added. He picked up further shots at the 10th, 11th, 13th and 16th to lead by one before his cushion was doubled when U.S. Open champion McDowell bogeyed the tricky 18th. Woods then pushed his tee shot well right at the last, hacked out on to the fairway with his second and struck his third on to the bottom tier of the green before two-putting for a five. "It was a lack of commitment," Woods said of his tee shot on 18. "I couldn't really commit to hitting a low fade off the tee there and hit a pop-up."

I swear this new Tiger Woods is so fucking cool. He used to be a robot with no emotions and now he seems like a guy I could kick it with over a beer. Maybe even swap war stories that would leave me wiping the room down with Lysol after he leaves.
