Woods was preparing to putt at the seventh green at CordeValle - his 16th hole of the day -when the man burst out of the crowd and tossed the hot dog in Woods' direction.

Woods backed away from his putt and the man promptly surrendered to tournament security personnel and police.

"When I looked up, the hot dog was already in the air," said Woods, who regretted missing his subsequent birdie putt but otherwise didn't seem especially concerned. "I guess he wanted to be in the news," said Woods. "And I'm sure he will be."
