Tiger Woods heeds lessons learned at Stanford

He already was a much-hyped phenom, with three U.S. Junior Amateur wins and one U.S. Amateur title, when he arrived as an 18-year-old freshman in the fall of 1994. But to the seniors on Stanford’s golf team – who had won the NCAA championship in the spring and were standout players in their own right – Woods was a scrawny target.
