I MET ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SPORT STARS
Alex won the Press Pack competition to interview golfing legend Tiger Woods."I was very excited to be meeting Tiger Woods; he's one of my favourite sport stars. I like the way he can hit the ball so far. I think he's a good sportsman too. I was a bit nervous first meeting him as there were also lots of other reporters and photographers who would be listening to my interview.
I asked Tiger about who his idol was. He said Nelson Mandela, but also his mum and dad as they had helped him a lot along the way to where he is now. Tiger also told me that when he was a schoolboy he wasn't allowed to practise golf until he had finished all his homework. His favourite golf course is St Andrews in Scotland because it has a really nice setting and the course is very challenging. Tiger's advice for any young golf player is to practise; that way you'll get better. Tiger was really friendly to talk to and I soon forgot about all the other people that were around me.
It was hard to believe I was interviewing such a famous person - my friends were all really jealous when I told them I'd be doing this. I'd like to thank Newsround for my once-in-a- lifetime experience; this is something I will always remember."
