HONOLULU (AP) — A commentator on the Golf Channel was suspended for two weeks on Wednesday by the company for saying last week that young players who wanted to challenge Tiger Woods should ``lynch him in a back alley.''
Kelly Tilghman was laughing during the exchange Friday with analyst Nick Faldo at the Mercedes-Benz Championship, and Woods' agent at IMG said he didn't think there was any ill intent.
But the comments became prevalent on news shows Wednesday, and American black activist Al Sharpton joined the fray by demanding she be fired immediately.
