MELBOURNE, Australia — Before he took aim at a makeshift target floating on the Yarra River, Shane Luke, an accomplished disabled golfer, glanced up at Tiger Woods, whom he knew only from television.
Luke was one of the local stars participating in the made-for-TV kickoff event at the Crown Riverwalk ahead of the 13th edition of the Presidents Cup. Faced with his big moment in front of the crowd, and his one shot at connecting with Woods, Luke decided to go for broke.
“Will you hold my leg for me?” Luke asked Woods.
