Sacked williams lashes former boss Woods

Tiger Woods' sacked caddie Steve Williams said on Friday he had lost respect for the former world No 1 and felt he had wasted two years of his life loyally standing by the scandal-plagued golfer.

Woods announced this week he had parted company with New Zealander Williams, his bagman for 12 years - a period when Woods won 13 of his 14 majors.

Williams said his sacking was a poor reward for staying loyal to Woods after the golfer's November 2009 car crash which opened the door to revelations about his extra-marital affairs and triggered a slide down the world rankings.
