Her mom went through that and didn't have any pain, so she immediately thought he was embellishing when she found out it was eight-ten weeks ago.

You can't control how the mind works and I'm sure there were a few Tour players who thought the same. I know there were individuals who weren't happy Rocco wore red on Monday because that's Tiger's deal. Some things just spring to your mind, and thinking that Tiger was embellishing after he said he was good to go, took a lot of time away, and really blew it off as anything but serious since it happened isn't a stretch. Why would he? Like I said, who knows. Was it a stretch to connect those dots? No way.
You might as well stop trying to explain yourself. The only reparations you'll make here are sending some flowers and a get-well card to Tiger.
