But he was a gentleman about it. It's just one of those risks you have to be willing to take if you get on a golf course.
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — A woman was hit in the head by Tiger Woods' ball when he sliced an approach at the British Open on Saturday. She needed two stitches to close the wound.
Jennifer Wilson, from Antrim, Northern Ireland, was treated by medical staff after being driven away in a golf cart. Woods had earlier apologized and given the 63-year-old an autographed glove.
Wilson was struck just short of the green at the par 5 sixth hole at Carnoustie, where she was standing with her husband.
"We were standing 30 yards short of the green and I said to Jennifer: 'Get your crash helmet on, Tiger's coming,'" Cecil Wilson said. "I could not believe it when Jennifer then got 'clunked,' but he does go off line from time to time. She just sank to her knees and we laid her down flat. She's had two stitches and there was quite a lot of blood. A guy in the crowd said he was a doctor, but to be honest we didn't really need him.
I tried to get into golf when I was younger, but couldn't quite hack it. It is very difficult and I find it dull. There's nothing to compare with hunting wild pheasant or quail over a Springer Spaniel.
My dad loved golf. That's all he ever did in his free time.
