Elin's here! Tiger's ... where?

We're trying to find a reason to get pumped for the Ryder Cup over in Somewhere, Ireland at a club that goes by some letter ... K? ... when it occured to us:
Elin Woods? Elin Nordegren? What do we call her now?
We call ourselves lucky.

Lucikly, there was a photographer around to shoot Mrs. Woods (above, center) as she showed up with Diane Antonopoulous, the girlfriend of Europe's Luke Donald, at the Curragh Racecourse in Ireland on Tuesday while the players of this weekend's big golf tournament were attending a meeting.

Not so lucky was the fact a photographer also found Mr. Woods out on the course later in the day. It appears Tiger was either trying to duck the crush of fans or he found a nice quiet place to contemplate his next shot.

This may not answer the question about what a bear does in the woods, or what Woods does while chasing The Bear, but it's a nice ad someday for PortaPotty.

Meanwhile, Tiger apparently is having a (bleep) fit about how his wife is portrayed in the media. According to this story in something called NewsMax.com, Tiger "is furious after a magazine in Ireland printed topless photos of a woman it wrongly identified" as Elin. It quotes the Britain's Daily Mail as saying Tiger was "appalled" by the latest issue of the Dubliner.
The magazine goes on to claim that golfer Chad Campbell's wife Amy is a "large-chested singer" and says David Toms’ wife Sonya finds it "liberating" to wear her bikini around the house.

We have no link to any of these pictures because, well, we feel if you really want to find 'em, you'll find 'em on your own.
Now get to it.

By the way, the Belfast Telegraph has a story with the lowdown on each player and his wife. This includes a blurb on Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman and his wife, Melissa, the 1981 graduate of Crescenta Valley High (who went by Melissa Zoutendyk back then):

The deeply religious United States captain credits his rock-solid marriage to brunette Melissa for his golfing success. Indeed Mrs Lehman’s support extended to acting as his caddie during the 1998 Nissan Open when his regular bag carrier suffered broken ribs in a basketball game. The couple met on a blind date 22 years ago and have become stalwarts on the PGA tour social scene. Described variously by observers of the tour as “glossily attractive� with an “irrepressible� personality, the perma-tanned Mrs Lehman yesterday presented prizes at a race meeting at the Curragh.
