Woods Rates His Pro Debut A Fine One

Associated Press

In a Hollywood world, Tiger Woods would have won the Greater Milwaukee Open.

Or after the 20-year-old finished 60th in his professional debut, he would have done some emotional soul-searching about his decision to quit school and join the PGA Tour.

Instead, Woods thanked the cheering crowd, went through his interviews, packed up his Nike gear and headed to the next tournament. Just like a pro.

“It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, with the media attention and just the fact that I haven’t got a chance to rest yet,” Woods said. “Overall, I had a great time.”

From his first tee shot to his last putt, Woods was the center of attention at the Brown Deer Park golf course.
