Tiger

Now for something completely different: golf! Herewith a few shots taken on the first practice day of the recent Ryder Cup.
As I arrived, Tiger Woods was just teeing off on the first tee, so what better way to start than a few shots of the world number one?

Certainly not a one-man team, and here is Tiger with, from left to right, Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan (partially hidden), and Zach Johnson:

Well done, Europe, and bad luck, U.S.A.! It was a great tournament!
