European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 27, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday october 27, 1994 sports the stars and stripes Page 33 Tiger tames Birmingham Ala. A even Hall Thomp son who once vowed that his All White country club would t be coerced into accepting Blacks had to acknowledge he had just seen the future of his Golf a lanky Black teen Ager named Tiger. You re a great player said Thompson extending his right hand to congratulate Tiger Woods on tues Day. We re proud of you. You re Woods had just tamed Shoal Creek a gorgeous Jack Nicklaus designed layout that became a pariah after the comments by Thompson its founder prior to the1990 pea championship. But any social relevance of the Victory seemed lost on the 18-year-old Stanford freshman. / ,. The significance to me is Pur team won and i also happen to be the individual Champion Woods said after his two stroke Victory in the Jerry Pate National intercollegiate helped the Cardinal wipe out a Strong 12-team Field. That we Caine to Shoal Creek does have a Black member now a prominent Birmingham businessman who was quickly added to the Rolls four years ago to dissuade protesters from descending on the front Gates. He s still just an Honor Ary member and has yet to be joined by another Blacks the club had promised. A Trio of protesters were re mindful of that fact As they picketed outside the front Gate tuesday but Woods found Shoal Creek much to his liking its racial record notwithstanding. He birdied the final two holes for a a under Par 67, giving him a three round total of 10-under 206 on a course that has twice played Host to the pea championship. It s absolutely awesome said Woods who this year became the first Black to win the . Amateur. This course was before Nicklaus went crazy with his s pretty Flat and straightforward and not so diabolical around the greens except at 18. That s the Way i likeit.". V entering the Day three shots behind Auburn s Ian steel Woods overcame that deficit before they made the turn. But Stanford teammate William Yanagisawa came on Strong finishing at 208 with his second straight 68 to put the pressure on Woods heading into the final two holes. At the Par-5 17th, Woods explosive Power allowed him to go for the Green in two shots and he wound up on the left fringe about 50 feet from the Hole. His first putt Hac nearly perfect Speed rolling just past the cup for an easy tap in. At 18, a downhill Par-4, Woods second shot rolled into a Valley on the steeply sloped Green 25 feet from the cup. He calmly pushed the putt Over the incline for another Birdie. More putts fell today Woods said. I Felt like i hit the Ball exactly the same both Days two rounds were played monday. My distance control my direction everything was he s just a lot better than everyone else said Trou bled pea Star John Daly who was on hand to help coach Arkansas his Alma mater during his sabbatical from the pea tour. The Razorbacks finished fifth in a Field that included the last four Mcaa National team champions. Unlike the More seasoned pros who can recount every shot at the end of a round Woods seems to put it All behind him As soon As he walks away from a Hole. I have no clue he said when queried about the length of a particular putt. I Don t keep track of it. I just play. That s what you re supposed to with Woods consistently driving the Ball 20 Yards longer it was Tough for his competitors to keep up. And steel who was in the final group with the Stanford freshman admittedly got a Case of the nerves As up to 100 people followed them around the course. College tournaments including this one usually draw Only a handful of spectators. I had to go out and Block everything out. I tried to do it but it did t work. It affected my game a Little bit said steel who struggled to a 73 in the final round but still finished tied for third at 209. Woods does t seem fazed by anything. He joined a Stanford team that had four top players returning from its 1994 National championship team and quickly established himself As no. 1, winning both tournaments the school has entered this season. There seems to be no jealousy among his teammates who plan to jump on this Tiger s Tail. Tiger Woods 5-Undcr 67 Sparks Stanford Victory. Ale when life hands you scraps make a quilt.
