THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 6, 2000 `Woods enhances every event he plays in' (C o n tin u e d fro m p a g e D 1 ) Photo by Riziero Vertolli The Tiger at the driving range on Tuesday The hundreds of dedicated volunteers who assist with the Open every year, Golf House staff and golf fans "should all be walking two feet off the ground," added Ross. "Tiger enhances every event he plays in. He is a dominant presence. He's electri fying and he has chosen our Open to play." Indications are that this year's tourna ment is attracting many spectators who are "raw rookies." Based on queries, said Ross, people who have never seen a golf tournament are heading to Glen Abbey this week to watch a living legend in action. Such callers have been inquiring about how to dress and what to say. As for the expected crush of fans sur rounding Woods, Ross said, "Tiger's peo ple have been here", and everyone, includ ing PGA and RCGA officials, are "comfort able" with the security. This will be Woods' third Canadian Open. In 1997, at Royal Montreal, Woods missed the cut and the previous year, at Glen Abbey, he finished 11th. As everyone knows, much has happened to the 24year-old golfing marvel since then. This year alone, Woods has won eight tourna ments, including the prestigious British and U.S. Opens, for a total of $7.7 million. His sensational rise to superstardom has caught a lot of people by surprise, said Ross. "I think it surprises a lot of people but Tiger works very hard and he has helped the sport tremendously." Despite Woods' dominance on the links this season with record-breaking low scores, Ross isn't anticipating a runaway tournament. "I think there's too much talent in the field. It's a tremendous field and we're hop ing for a very exciting and dramatic finish." With a Bell Canadian Open victory, Woods would clinch the Triple Crown tro phy, not won since 1971 when Lee Trevino capped off wins of the British and U.S. Opens with the Canadian Open title. ...In one superb setting Quick facts Week-at-aglance ...
