LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods ducked into the clubhouse for a bathroom break after finishing nine holes Friday. While his sizable gallery waited for him to return to the next tee, spectators couldn't resist attempting humor.
A day earlier Woods was caught on video trying to hand playing partner Justin Thomas a tampon after Woods outdrove him on the ninth hole. Thomas slapped it to the ground and Woods laughed and playfully put his arm around Thomas' shoulder as they walked down the fairway.
The storyline of Woods unexpectedly playing in the Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club — a tournament where is he host and on a course where he's never won — had taken a childish, even sexist, turn.
