Williams takes dig at Woods after Adam Scott’s victory
August 8th, 2011 - 9:16 pm ICT by IANS
London, Aug 8 (IANS) Australian golfer Adam Scott’s triumph at Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, was sweetest victory for his caddie Steve Williams, who returned to scene of his seven win at the side of former employer Tiger Woods.
Williams, who was sacked by Woods, picked up Scott’s bag permanently and Sunday beat a retreat to the locker room to count his share of the winner’s cheque. Williams received $140,000, 10 percent of the winner’s cheque of $1.4 million while Woods picked up $58,500 for finishing in a tie for 37th place.
“I have been caddieing for more than 30 years now. I have won 145 times and that is the best win of my life. A lot has been said this week and it is great to back it up. I back myself as a frontrunner as a caddie and I have won again,” Williams said.
