Williams said, “Pull your head out of your a**e and start behaving like an adult. If you’re going to carry on like this, it’s a waste of time.” He then explained to Woods that whatever he told him on the third hole was in his best interests. According to him, the driver was the best player. The hall of fame golfer might not have realized it at first. However, after the round was over and he looked back, he knew it was the right play. In contrast, the five times the green jacket winner hit a bad shot, and through his frustration, he made six when he could easily have made four from that position.
The caddie added that the golfer could blame the shot; however, it was ultimately his shot only. “Sure, you can blame the poor shot on me, but ultimately, you made six from a position you should have made four from,” said Williams. He knew which was the correct position for Woods to take the shot.
