Stevie Williams remark: just plain stupid

He drew smirks and snickers when claiming credit for a victory as caddie for Adam Scott this summer, a highly entertaining although over the top rant that turned Steve Williams from sympathetic figure into egotistical lout.
The longtime caddie for Tiger Woods was not happy with the way his firing went down, let the world know about it, then got back to the business of following the looper's mantra: show up, keep up, shut up -- until Friday,when Williams apparently couldn't help himself.
At a caddie awards banquet in China, site of the HSBC Champions, a World Golf Championship event, Williams reportedly uttered a racial slur directed at Woods.
In accepting a facetious honor for "celebration of the year'' -- given to Williams for his controversial comments following Scott's victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in August -- the long-time caddie from New Zealand said: "It was my aim to shove it up that black arse----.''
Several media outlets reported the comments,although they were not at the private function; media in attendance were invited under the premise that any comments made were off the record, with players and caddies alike taking some good-natured ribbing.
Williams saw fit to post an apology on his website,TaylorMade R11 Ironsadmitting that his comments could have been "construed as racist. However I assure you that was not my intent.''
Okay, so perhaps Williams will get a pass when it comes to racism.
But not stupidity.
No matter his feelings toward Woods and the way his situation with the 14-time major winner went down, he did make a considerable sum in his 12-year tenure, certainly into the millions of dollars. best golf clubsThe men stood up in each other's weddings and Woods often spoke of the positive impact Williams had on his career.
