Perhaps this was what Scott Hoch had in mind when he saw Woods and Zoeller with their backs toward each other on the putting green before they teed off Friday. Of course, nothing untoward passed between Tiger and Fuzzy as they toured Augusta National. They played to individual style. Zoeller is loose-limbed, a chatterbox when he isn't whistling. Woods isn't much of a talker while at work.
Most golfers tend to be on the mute side to maintain a high level of concentration.
Ben Hogan seldom said a word. There's a famous Masters anecdote of an occasion when Hogan did speak. Tiger's self-absorption runs to that pattern, so how often he exchanged small talk with Zoeller was of scant import. Zoeller felt the issue of playing with Tiger much overdrawn after he completed his two-over round of 74. I don't think it's a big deal.
