You can get your head how far up your own arse?

Some people don't know when to quit do they? Talk about self promotion, what's that old Roy Keane quote, ah yes, "Praise is good, but self praise isn't."

There obviously is as little to do in New Zealand as we'd long suspected and Steve Williams is proving to be somebody who has way too much time on his hands.

His comments after caddying Adam Scott during the latter's win at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio have certainly provoked a reaction from other players. His claim that his victory with his employer was "the greatest week of my life," sounds like he swallowed a whole one and a half litre bottle of sour grape juice.

"I have been caddying for more than 30 years now. I have won 145 times and that is the best win of my life," said Williams. His comments have been seen as a thinly-veiled attack on Woods, who he caddied for during 13 of the American's 14 Major championship victories.

Not thinly veiled, this man is delusional about his worth and bitter that Tiger Woods wanted to move on and end their professional relationship. Williams, who has previously caddied for top players including Australian Greg Norman and American Raymond Floyd, was stunned when Woods abruptly decided to end a highly successful relationship dating back to 1999.

"Steve Williams breaks the unwritten caddy rule," Azinger said on Twitter, "by talking to the press. Most don't, a few do at times when appropriate. #notapopularguy."

"Steve Williams taken all the attention off Adam Scott's fantastic win!" European Tour golfer Chris Woods added. "Played great and nobody is talking about him this morning! #shameful."

"Cannot believe that they have interviewed Steve Williams," tweeted golfer Oliver Wilson. "Nice of him to take away from Scotty's win. Says it all..."

Even tennis star Andy Roddick got in on the criticism, tweeting, "Has anyone seen the steve Williams interview from after adam scotts win today? Am I missing something? Was steve the one actually playing?"

ooh, bitchiness in sport, who'd'a thunk it?

That said, off on a tangent a bit, I think Twitter is showing a lot of people up too.

Agree about Twitter, reading the selection printed in the 'i' each day some people clearly have too much time on their hands.
