Tiger
receives rousing welcome
PARAPARAUMU BEACH,
New Zealand — Tiger Woods didn’t have to have a club
in his hand to attract applause on his first trip to New Zealand.
Woods received a
rousing welcome for his practice round at the New Zealand Open
on Tuesday. His 4-iron off the 10th tee was cheered by about 3,000
spectators, and a throng applauded after he raked out a bunker.
The New Zealand Open
has been marred by turmoil since Woods agreed to play as a tribute
to his Kiwi caddie, Steve Williams. There was controversy over
Woods’ $2 million appearance fee, along with inflated ticket
prices.
