The Lone Camerman Theory: Final Bit Of Tiger Drop Irony
/Accompanying Kevin Ferrie's Scotland Herald story is Charlie Riedel's AP photo of Tiger taking his drop.
The image adds one last bit of intrigue to the entire drop episode. Anyone notice what is different?
I wasn't able to slip this into my Golf World story, but if you look closely, note the surprisingly aggressive CBS cameraman. He has no cables attached to his camera.
CBS was reportedly testing new wireless HD handhelds last week, but they were relegated to the out-of-play areas and the shots from them only occasionally made the air. Why this camera was out in the 15th fairway would only be known to CBS, but had that cameraman not been behind Woods, we would not have had such strong visual evidence of the incorrect drop.
Just one more wacky component to a story that golfers continue to talk about a week later. And probably for years to come.
