TIGER Woods lost his temper as well as his seven-event winning streak at the Doral on Easter Monday as it emerged he indulged in a swearing outburst at an over-keen photographer.
Woods' every move is followed by a plethora of snappers and one in particular attracted the ire of the world No 1 during the final round of the CA Championship, in which he finished two shots behind winner Geoff Ogilvy of Australia. Woods struggle
d all weekend on the greens and after another lip-out at the ninth he let rip. "The next time a photographer shoots a f****** picture on my backswing I'm going to break his f****** neck," fumed the American.
Another man left frustrated was England's Graeme Storm after he failed to launch a credible push for the title in Miami. Storm still finished top European, tied for sixth behind Ogilvy, but he was hoping for even better.
"I was disappointed with the way I played the back nine," said the 30-year-old from Hartlepool, who had to complete the final nine holes at Doral's Blue Monster on Monday following Sunday's weather delay. "I was just so nervous and jumpy. I was fine during the night, but when I got back out there, I don't know what happened."
Storm, playing in the final group with Ogilvy and runner-up Vijay Singh, was in a position he had not previously experienced at this level.
He hit a couple of bad shots and made a bogey, before battling on to finishing four shots behind Ogilvy.
