"I really thought he had won about eight majors, and he told me he won 14."

Anthony Kim, on Tiger's return just before the start of play at Kapalua:

Q. What are you expecting out of him when he gets back?

ANTHONY KIM: I guess the same guy. He's obviously played very well.

It's like I said at the clinic. I'm not a huge golf fan, so I don't know all the stats. I thought he -- I really thought he had won about eight majors, and he told me he won 14 (laughter). I didn't know that.

Ask Tiger at 5 years old and he knows how many majors Nicklaus has--same thing at 11 years old! Tiger knows who he is chasing, Kim doesn't, so in my mind, Kim isn't chasing Tiger!

Smitty,

Either that or Tiger and AK aren't the same person, and are driven by different things...

Sportspeople not watching the sport they play isn't that uncommon.

I think that it shows Kim is not intimidated by Tiger.

"I thought he -- I really thought he had won about eight majors, and he told me he won 14 (laughter). I didn't know that."

Just sounds a little like Tiger's (False) modesty.

If you saw the clinic on TGC it looked pretty laid back and innocent on AK's part. TW was pretty amused and then he looked as if he might get to 28 majors just to make a point to AK!
