Autograph Seeker Disguised As Golf Writer Goes Unnoticed

Alex Miceli reports the first of two blows for the golf writing cause (not to mention a less humorous security breakdown). The first involves an autograph seeker slipping into Tiger's press conference and after hearing one too many banal questions, finally blurted out his request.

“Jack’s going to hate me for this. (Interloper stands up) Tiger, congratulations for winning the Memorial. I’m a normal person that snuck in here with a patron badge. I was just wondering if I could get an autograph.”

Nicklaus apparently intervened and got the man Tiger's autograph before they carted him off.

The Rally Killer of all Rally Killers? Or does this make him a Point Misser?

While the above exchange is not in the transcript, this low blow was:

Q. Tiger, not to be fishing, but wonder if I could maybe get personal on the issue of do you actually read anything that we write or watch anything that guys say on TV, or is it secondhand information?

TIGER WOODS: It's more TV.

Read elsewhere that Jack also signed the badge. Probably will end up on Ebay.

How long beforel someone tries impersonating Carolyn Bivens? Unless the person can destroy ladies professional golf even quicker than Ms. B is doing at present, the impersonator will be exposed rather quickly.

What is the penalty for impersonating a member of the golf media? Maybe we can use the comments here to take nominations.

TSO - I assume one would be sentenced to serve as a member of said golf media?

[Raider Fan]

At least he didn't try and put a hat on Tiger like the finals of the French Open when the fan jumped onto the court.

I love how the question and Jack's response was edited from the ASAP Sports notes. It was there once when I looked, then the next day, *poof*.
