Tiger Almost Gets Taken Out By Security Guard

We have experienced a truly strange day today and Augusta National.

The day almost just involved a riot…

Tiger Woods hit his tee shot on the par 4 14th into the gallery of patrons. He hit a great recovery shot and then almost got taken out by an overzealous security guard.

If you saw it live, the noise you heard after was the entire golf world holding their collective breaths as Tiger walked it off. Luckily he was fine and even went on to birdie the hole, fist pump and all.

With that birdie, Tiger got to 5-under and 2 shots off the lead.
