Default Re: Brag: Beat Tiger Woods in Match Play

Hmmm, you shoulda posted this in that brag thread started by westhoff. I can move it there if you want (I think).

I may have mentioned this before, but in 1990 a 14-year-old Woods ran over the field at Junior World for the 13-14 age group and then the next week beat the 15-17 age group winner, Notah Begay, up at the US Junior at Lake Merced in San Francisco. My friend who I followed barely lost to Begay in the previous round or he would have played Tiger. So only one year previous (he would have been 13, not 12) beating him was no small feat, regardless of your age. He and Begay ended up being teammates at Stanford. Pretty amazing feat, beating the champion in the age group above him, but that's our Eldrick.
