Phil said, “So starting the final round, his partner Tony and my partner skip McGee. We all are gonna play together. But the night before the final round, we go to a dinner.”
“Tony Romo’s there and Jim seats us next to each other and we had a great time.”
“So the next morning, Tony knows that this is going to bother Tiger that we had dinner together so he tells his caddy don’t mention that. Don’t bring it up, don’t say a word. I also know that this is going to bother him.”
He added, “We all tee off on the first hole as we’re walking down. I stand back about 20 yards and Tiger and Tony off they go. And I yell Hey, Tony, Tony. That was such a great night last night man that was awesome. Tiger, do you remember the stair you gave them? Yeah, that’s it. That was the stair that Tony got so as Tiger looks at Tony like this, Tony looks at him and says there were a lot of people there last night.”
