Tiger Woods to be fined for public criticism

Tiger Woods will be fined by the PGA Tour for his public criticism of a rules official after winning the Bridgestone Invitational in Minnesota on Sunday.



Woods was bothered after his four-shot victory Sunday because he and Ireland\'s Padraig Harrington were put on the clock at the par-5 16th.



He said that caused Harrington to rush three difficult shots, leading to triple bogey.



European Tour chief referee John Paramor told Woods and Harrington they were being timed.



Paramor said the final pairing was well behind most of the back nine, but officials gave them time to catch up. They were still 17 minutes out of position on the 16th tee, when they were put on the clock.



Harrington conceded he was rushed, although he said it would be unfair to give the final group preferential treatment.
