Tiger Woods Achieved Eight Bridgestone Title, Son Charlie the Proudest [Video]
Tiger Woods is now currently leading, parring 16 holes in an even-par 70 Sunday to coast to a 7-shot victory at Bridgestone. Woods was cheered on and applauded for his landslide victory by many fans. However, his landslide victory was celebrated no less by his family, especially his kids.
As he walked to the scorer's trailer for his score finalization, he scooped up his son Charlie, which proceeded to give him a very tight hug. According to Woods, this is the first time Charlie saw his father won, so this particular victory was special.
"This is the first win he's ever been at," Woods said. "That's what makes it special for both of us."
When he won in the US Open last 2008, he was with his daughter, Sam. This was also prior to the scandals that wracked his personal life. At least with the current win, Charlie will have a chance of having memories of his father winning.
Woods' kids are his very own cheerleaders. "They always say, 'Daddy, when are you going to win the tournament?' It was a few years there, or a couple years, I hadn't won anything," Woods said, a big smile on his face. "'Are you leading or not? That's a stock question. 'Not leading.' 'Well, are you going to start leading?' 'Well, I'm trying."
Following a second-round 61, where it was observed that he flirted with 59, Woods finished with 15-under 265 to effortlessly win against defending champ Keegan Bradley and Henrik Stenson.
The victory was Woods' 79th on the PGA Tour. The A-list golfer couldn't be more happier and prouder with himself and his achievements.
"The total body of work is pretty good," Woods said. "One of the things I'm proud of, obviously, is how many times I've won, plus won World Golf Championships and how many years I've won five or more tournaments in a season. What is it, like eight or nine times? Ten? That's not bad, either."
