He talked about his mother - perhaps for the first time. He calls her his `little mother.' It was she who took him to golf practice while his father worked. He's got a sort of Asian reserve, a dignity, and a little bit of remoteness, and I think that comes from his mother, who, of course, is Thai. There's also a great composure, and I feel part of that comes from being a Buddhist.'' She says that while women throw themselves at Tiger, ``He doesn't have a girlfriend and doesn't even particularly want one now because he's so busy.

Urich was among the celebrities who took turns passing out roses to women who've survived breast or ovarian cancer ovarian cancer Malignant tumour of the ovaries.
