Who says golfers aren't athletes?

Tiger Woods was a baseball player in his youth; his father played collegiately at Kansas State in the 1950s. Even at the age of 48 with a slew of surgeries under his belt, he still has somewhat of an arm.

The 15-time major champion proved that Tuesday afternoon after a Masters practice round, when he tossed a pinpoint pass to a fan in the gallery who motioned for Woods to throw him his ball by putting his hands up like a wide receiver.

The fan caught the ball off a bobble, and Woods saluted his catch by raising his club.

After the throw, WSB-TV reporter Alison Mastrangelo tracked down the fan.

"We were just there sitting. It happened to be quiet. I was just looking at him," the fan said. "I yelled at him, 'Tiger, I'm open!' And he kinda smirked."

Woods then turned and fired his ball in the fan's direction.

"He throws a fastball. My hand was throbbing for a little bit," he said. "Good arm, Tiger."
