We have a trend: Another sports fan has been Tasered, this one an apparently drunken heckler of Tiger Woods. When the 36-year-old Florida man refused to stop abusing Woods from his spot behind the 11th hole yesterday, deputies moved in. The man became more combative—until deputies Tased him once before arresting him, reports the Daily News. Shades of the unlucky Phillies fan from earlier in the week. (As for the golf, Woods just about played himself out of contention today, reports AP.)
