Thai mother, Tiger Woods had an American mother and a Thai father. Yes,

improve their games to catch up with that whatshisname Asian guy.
And suppose, just suppose, that Roger Federer had come from Maryland
instead of Switzerland. Why, our kid from Bethesda would already have a
new Cadillac model named after him ...
