Internet agrees with Tiger Woods for saying he 'did not sleep at all on the flight' after Trump shooting

BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA: Tiger Woods claims he did not prepare properly for this week's Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland because he "couldn't sleep on the plane" after the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump. 

The golf legend told BBC Sports that he was not "in the right frame of mind" while traveling from Florida to Scotland after Trump's assassination attempt at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on Saturday, July 13. "I didn’t accomplish a lot because I wasn’t in the right frame of mind," Woods told the outlet. 

Tiger Woods said he 'did not sleep at all' on the flight to Scotland

"It was a long night [because of the assassination attempt] and that’s all we watched the entire time on the way over here," Woods said, adding "I didn't sleep at all on the flight, and then we just got on the golf course." There was a lot of pressure on Woods going into his practice round on Sunday, July 14, with little to no rest.

Team USA coach Steve Kerr reacted to the shooting of Donald Trump

Following the attempted assassination of Trump, Team USA men's basketball coach Steve Kerr attempted to encapsulate the feelings of his team by labeling it a "terrible" and "demoralizing day for our country."

"This is a time where we feel very proud to represent our country wearing USA on our chest, competing in the Olympics," Kerr said, according to ESPN. "We've talked to the players about how important it is to show the best version of us as human beings to represent our country in a respectful, dignified manner. It makes you want to do that even more so, because this is really shameful for us to sit here and think about what happened and what's going on in our country," he added.

"It's such a demoralizing day for our country, and it's yet another example of not only our political division but also gun culture," he added. "A 20-year-old with an AR-15 trying to shoot the former president. It's hard to process everything, and it's scary to think about where this goes because of the issues that already exist in the country. So this is a terrible day," he continued.

"Thank God Trump wasn't hit, but it's just so demoralizing in every which way," he concluded.

"We’ve been glued to the tv with coverage. We haven’t slept good either," remarked one and another said, "I feel like I haven't slept very much since it happened to be honest."
