Tigers Woods is all smiles at Phoenix Open

 (Associated Press)

Tiger Woods was all smiles at the Phoenix Open on Tuesday – and with a full set of teeth. Woods gave a play-by-play account of how his front tooth was knocked out in Italy on Jan. 19 while celebrating girlfriend Lindsey Vonn’s record 63rd World Cup ski victory. He said he was wearing a skeleton-patterned mask to try to blend in and was standing behind photographers at one of two podium presentations. During the celebrations, Woods told reporters, “Dude with a video camera … stood up and turned and caught me square on the mouth.” He said the mask was covered in blood and he was in pain. The former No. 1 golfer said one tooth was chipped and the other was knocked out, and that he had them replaced. Woods is making his first apperance at the Phoenix Open since 2001. – AP
