Tiger watch: British Open officials, attempting to capitalize on Tiger Woods' ability to draw youngsters to golf, announced this week that spectators under 18 will be admitted free to this year's tournament, scheduled for July 17-20 at Royal Troon in Scotland. ``Hopefully, this will stimulate interest among young people, and, hopefully, it is something we will be able to continue in future years,'' tournament committee chairman Peter Greenhough told the Associated Press on Tuesday. It could be a costly experiment, since last year's British Open at Royal Lytham attracted nearly 10,000 fans under 18, with tickets priced at $9.60.

Six-time major winner Nick Faldo, one of the greatest golfers England has produced, became interested in golf as a lad watching the game on the telly. ``We are now taking a positive step to encourage youngsters to watch the best players in the world,'' Greenhough said. Few players encourage youngsters the way Woods does to watch the game.
