Fredrik Jacobson I think. All I remember about Jacobson is that he had absolutely no pressure on him as not even he believed he had a shot at taking Tiger-- he also wore a lot of pink and ate a banana on the course. One hole, we were on the ropes as Tiger approached the tee box... only feet away from each other, nothing between us but a piece of twine. As he walked by, I felt an aura of intensity I've haven't felt since a NASCAR roared by me at full speed. His intensity is tangible. You can feel it. He didn't see the gallery, Jacobson's ridiculous outfit, or any of the hundreds of flashes going off with each swing. He was, as lame as this sounds, completely in the zone. That said, I was happy to run into a producer on the Tiger videogame. He spends a lot of time with Tiger each year and he told me not only is Tiger a regular guy, but he swears like a sailor and will call you out like any of your other guy friends. Yeah, he's a media darling and has mastered that game, but it's nice to know he'll call you a fag if you order a cocktail with an umbrella in it.
