AS ADAM SCOTT celebrated his first World Golf Championship win at Firestone yesterday, caddie Steve Williams was more interested in getting in a cheap dig at his former employer, Tiger Woods.
Once seen as one of Tiger’s closest confidants, Williams was Woods’ bagman for 12 years before the two unexpectedly parted ways last month.
Together, Williams and Woods won 13 Majors — three Masters, three Open Championships, three US Opens, and four PGA Championships.
But, as the New Zealander celebrated his first taste of glory with Scott last night, he told CBS Sports that it was “the greatest week of his life.”
“I have been caddying for more than 30 years now. I have won 145 times and that is the best win of my life,” Williams said.
“A lot has been said this week and it is great to back it up. I back myself as a frontrunner as a caddie and I have won again. It’s been the most fun thing.
It’s the greatest week of my life caddying, and I sincerely mean that.
Woods, making his return to the course after a three-month absence, finished in a tie for 37th place, 18 shots behind Scott on one over par.
