Tiger Woods in Eagan

Ok, ok, world famous golfer Tiger Woods isn't actually IN Eagan but he's close to Eagan. Tiger is playing in the 91st PGA Championship at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, just 29 miles from here.

My brother-in-law, Professor Dr. Kent Lee, and his son are staying at the "Hagen Hotel" in Eagan and attending this week's daily practices and following games. Kent took this picture at a practice round on Tuesday, August 11. Kent would play more golf if it weren't for his "day job" as a computer science professor at Luther College.

Looks like it could be another Tiger Woods Padraig Harrington fight. Hopefully Henrik Stenson can produce a few good shots and move up the leaderboard.

Foooooooooore!

Yep, the Tiger and me... We both buy our bath toys in posh places, like Harrod's, Fortnum and Mason, Woolworth, the Maritime Museum shop in Barcelona... Posh people shop posh! C'est la vie!

Great shot. Honestly I think the best sport images are taken by fans, and I take photos for a living.

It is too late for me to send messages. What I wanted to say to you,( and posted as a comment under my latest photo) was; "I don`t know much about golf, but I think this is the player who is married to a Swedish woman(?) GOD HELG !! ;-)

What a thrill! That's a great shot.

I was gonna say something about how your work must suffering the Tiger Woods blues...but no, you got someone else to take the shot...

A few years ago, in Orlando, Tiger hit an errant shot that went right over Lois Anne's head and he had to walk between us a few feet to get to his ball. Lois Anne was going to grab him, but then thought that might not be such a good idea.

Yes, even Tiger can hit an errant shot once in awhile. We were very surprised, however.

Hi Leif, I saw Tiger was in MN in the newspaper and wondered if anyone would catch him at work. Nice photo.
