Brag: Beat Tiger Woods in Match Play

I can say I beat the greatest player ever heads-up in match play. It was Long Beach Junior Match play quarter finals in 1989. I had heard of him, but didn't think too much of it. I was nearly 18 years old and he was 12. What the heck was a kid doing playing in my age group anyway?

I beat him on hole 17. His dad watched the entire match, but I don't recall giving him any advice. Skinny kid who hit it long and was an incredible putter. I think I shot 68 and he was one under or something.

Wish I had kept the score card and took a picture. Had no idea that he would become that damn good.

Now I am a 3.7 index and he is like a plus 11.

Despite the age differance that does put you in a select group of people who have beat Tiger in match play. I rememember Amatuer wise Ed Cuff beat him in the State Am and he lost in the Western Am to an Asian player who's name I can't recall. Did you play in college too? If you qualified for the SCGA and you are a 3.7 you must be a sand bagger now!! LOL.
