SYDNEY – The ex-caddie of Tiger Woods says his one regret was his television interview on the 18th green after Adam Scott won at Firestone.

Scott won the Bridgestone Invitational in 2011, and Steve Williams got most of the attention for an interview right after the tournament ended. Williams had spent 12 years with Woods until getting fired a month earlier and told David Feherty of CBS Sports, “I’ve caddied for 33 years — 145 wins now — and that’s the best win I’ve ever had.”

In an interview with Fox Sports Australia this week, Williams said it was a mistake.
