Golf Gods Files: Kicker Who Mocked Tiger Cut Over His Yips
/Nice work by Emily Kay capturing the lovely story of Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee, who mockingly challenged Tiger Woods post-Waste Management Open debacle via Twitter to a game.
This was as the legend was experiencing some chip yips and now finds himself unemployed. Scobee has been stinking it up this year, going for 3-for-7 on field goals and missing an extra point from the new distance.
Kay writes:
Scobee apparently deleted his Twitter account following Thursday night’s debacle, but we’ll leave you with some words of wisdom he shared after playing himself into a five-shot cushion at the American Century Golf Championship in July.
"Being a kicker, it is kind of like kicking a football," Scobee told the South Lake Tahoe News. "You have to take each thing individually and focus on that one thing and not try to get anything clogged in your head and play your game."
