The line lasted perhaps a second.

“Lynch him in a back alley,” Kelly Tilghman said Friday, responding to partner Nick Faldo’s banter that the young players should “gang up” on Tiger Woods.

That’s all it took for the Golf Channel anchor to join http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=953.

Tilghman paid the price Wednesday when the Golf Channel suspended her for two weeks, effective immediately.Instead of working this week’s Sony Open in Hawaii, she is fretting about the state of her career, not to mention her reputation.

Talk about blowing a trip to paradise.
