Sex-scandal hit golfer Tiger Woods was taunted by two ladies during the opening round of the Australian Masters at Victoria Golf Club.
The two women, dressed in white tops, skirts and sun visors with their mobile phone numbers on them, caught 34-year-old Woods' attention as walked from the 15th tee, the sixth hole for him.
"Call me Tiger!" the Sydney Morning Herald quoted one of the girls as saying as she got within earshot of Woods.
The other woman added: "Meet me outside Crown!"

Woods did not seem overly pleased with the attention, and it is believed an FM radio station had apparently put the women up to the task.
Reports have been going around that any spectator who heckles Woods over his well-publicised extra-marital affairs would be thrown out of Victoria Golf Club after just one warning.
But tournament director Marcus Gale denied there was a specific policy in place about taunting Woods.
"We expect all spectators to be courteous as they have always been here, a fact that Tiger commented upon last year," he said.
"He won't be treated any differently from any other player in this regard. We have the same policy for the 120th ranked player as for the top ranked player in this field," he stated.
