Stevie Issues Statement: "I now realize how my comments could be construed as racist."

Following his remarks at a dinner Friday night, Stevie Williams has issued this statement on his website:

"I apologize for comments I made last night at the Annual Caddy Awards dinner in Shanghai. Players and caddies look forward to this evening all year and the spirit is always joking and fun. I now realize how my comments could be construed as racist. However I assure you that was not my intent. I sincerely apologize to Tiger and anyone else I have offended."
