Neither Babelfish nor Free Translation will translate Swedish to English.

Fortunately, however, some stories speak for themselves.

Tiger is within reach of the leader at TPC, 6 off the pace going into tomorrow's final round.

I would have completely understood if he had failed to make the weekend cut.......

There is a "putting it in the hole" joke here somewhere. Yah!?

It doesn't really say much, except how good she is a staying in the background, can't figure out why they needed so much space to say that.

måttligt

I like the little halo over the letter "a". How come we don't have any halos?

Loose translation follows:

Tiger Woods' Swedish girlfriend has just landed the role of the perfect athlete's wife.

It's not yet 8:00 a.m., but Elin Nordgren is already on the green to watch Tiger putt.

And she's silent about Tiger.

"I won't say a word," she says. A rather odd idea, but not unusual. We talk about the weather, the wind, etc. and then things just stop.

The word is that she wants to be left in peace. Her arms are defiantly crossed over her chest. She drinks water out of a blue bottle.

She Keeps Herself In The Background

Woods has four holes left to play from yesterday's round. The 21-year old Elin emerges at the next hole. She's anonymously squeezed in among the public. She's wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes and a a white jacket. She's rather thin and fragile looking. She quickly zips up her jacket. Despite the sunshine, it's a chilly Florida morning with a rather wicked wind that makes the palm trees rattle.

Elin Nordgren prefers to stay in the background.

Tiger doesn't cast even so much as a glance in her direction. No one knows that she is the girlfriend of the best golfer in the world.

She's working on her own game.

On Tiger's last hole of the morning, quickly steps up before he putts. She has not shown her credentials yet, but at locker room she displays her identification.

When Tiger starts to play an ordinary round, Elin is not far away. Fortunately she's formed friendships with Tiger's caddy's girlfriends. He follows them just a few feet away.

What is the big deal? The guy is not-ugly (I'd say "mildly handsome", but that would be gay) and possibly the richest and most famous athelete in the world. It doesn't surprise me that a) he'd find a hot babe, b) there would be a media frenzy about it.

By the way, apparently she was employed as a nanny for the child of another golfer Jasper Parnevik.

She'd look darn good in a green jacket.

Oh my. It looked to me, yesterday, like he was using one of those new forged Nike drivers but I wasn't sure until I saw that picture.

Can't say I was all that impressed with the ones I swung. No where near as nice as the Karsten ISTs or Talor Made 360s.

I wonder if that's actually a stock Nike or if it's been reshafted.
