Williams regrets Woods comments

Golf: Steve Williams has said he should not have been so outspoken about winning a month after being fired by Tiger Woods

Golf:Steve Williams has said he should not have been so outspoken about winning a month after being fired by Tiger Woods. The New Zealand born caddie, overjoyed at helping Adam Scott land the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron last Sunday does not intend to make any more comments about his former employer.

"Looking back on it, I was a bit over the top," Williams told FOXSports.com. "I had a lot of anger in me about what happened and it all came out. The Kiwi bagman called it "the most satisfying win of my career" despite having shared in 13 majors with Woods during their 12 years together.

“I said what I said, but I’m not going to say any more about Tiger. I had a lot of emotions going on all week. You hear people say ‘How good are you now that you’re not caddying for Tiger?’, things like that and it makes you want to prove yourself.

“When we were coming down the stretch and all those people were calling out my name; I mean I’ve never experienced anything like that and when Adam won, all of a sudden, all that emotion poured out. But, look, it’s time to move on. The Tiger thing is over.”

Woods and Scott tee off only 40 minutes apart in the first two rounds of the USPGA Championship in Atlanta on Thursday and Friday and fate could yet pair them for the weekend or at least one of the days in golf’s fourth and final major. That would provide a fascinating spectacle in itself.
