A 31-year-old Santa Rosa man among spectators at a South Bay golf tournament featuring Tiger Woods disrupted play briefly Sunday when he threw a hot dog at the professional golfer.
Or did the hot dog accidentally fly out of his hand?
Santa Clara County sheriff's officials said they may never know.
“He kind of shook his head when the sheriff's deputies said, ‘Hey, why did you do it?' ” Sgt. Jose Cardoza said. “He didn't give a statement.”
Woods was approaching the seventh green for a birdie putt about 2 p.m. at the CordeValle Golf Club south of San Jose when he was interrupted by a commotion.
A man had ducked under a rope and “ran toward Tiger yelling his name,” Cardoza said. “He had a hot dog and a bun in his hand.”
Dog and bun flew into the air. The bun barely reached the green. The hot dog landed on the putting surface.
Witnesses told deputies that it appeared the hot dog flew up into the air and not toward Woods, Cardoza said.
“I was focusing on my putt when he started yelling,” said Woods, who didn't seem bothered by it all. “Next thing I know, he laid on the ground, and looked like he wanted to be arrested because he ... put his hands behind his back and turned his head.”
