Samuel The "Tiger Woods You Suck" Yelling Prodigy

January 07, 2015/ Geoff Shackelford

Thanks to reader Tim for Matt Stewart's story on Samuel Wood, a 4-year-old "pint-sized golf prodigy" who sports a stellar swing and an unusual habit for a wee-lad.

It seems Samuel has picked up on something he once saw his hero Tiger Woods do.

Sometimes when the Plimmerton pre-schooler with the demon swing miscues a shot he's been known to yell "Tiger Woods you suck!" after seeing the 14-time major winner mouth the phrase on TV.

Samuel's coach Dean Kingsbeer said his young charge - should he want to - had the potential to one day enter the world's top 50.

Let's just hope he still yells that out when he makes it to the top 50! He'll take the game by storm!
