Woods shrugs off hot dog-flinging fan

Tiger Woods shrugged off a fan who flung a hot dog in his direction in the final round of the Frys.com Open on Sunday, closing his first tournament in two months with a three-under 68. Woods was preparing to putt at the seventh green at CordeValle -- his 16th hole of the day -- when the man burst out of the crowd and tossed the hot dog in Woods' direction. Woods backed away from his putt and the man promptly surrendered to tournament security personnel and police. Authorities did not give the man's name, but said he appeared to be intoxicated and had been arrested. "When I looked up, the hot dog was already in the air," said Woods, who eventually missed his putt. "He was pretty far away from me." Australian Rod Pampling, playing in the same group with Woods and India's Arjun Atwal, called the incident "bizarre". "He’s just an idiot," Dan Diggins, the tournament's director of security, said of the man. "It wasn't a chili dog -- that could have been bad." Woods, the former world number one who was making his first start since missing the cut at the PGA Championship in August, notched his third straight 68. Playing in the first group of the 10th tee, he got off to a blazing start with birdies at 10, 12, 14 and 15 before dropping a stroke at the par-three 16th. He birdied the par-four 17th, but slowed down with bogeys at the second and fifth after making the turn, although he capped his round with a birdie at the par-five ninth. Woods' four-round total of seven-under 277 had him stuck firmly in the middle of the pack with the leaders still completing the final round.
