No-one is buying Tiger Woods’ tale about popping his own joint back

We believe you T.Dubya

His six-year truth-telling streak may be at an end.

Tiger Woods had an unfortunate run-in with a tree root on Masters Sunday, at Augusta National.

That was only the beginning.

After signing off for a four-round total of -5, Woods told reporters than a bone in his wrist had popped out during his iron shot. This is the Q&A transcription:

Q.  We saw you catch a root, apparently?

TIGER WOODS:  Yeah.

Q.  How are you feeling?

TIGER WOODS:  A bone kind of popped out and the joint kind of went out of place, but I put it back in.

Q.  Really?

TIGER WOODS:  Yeah.

Wow.  Okay.

Golf fans quickly took to Twitter to call ‘bullshit’ on Woods.
