Lazy Headline Writers: A Lurking Tiger Is In The Hunt

Tiger Woods is in it again. Nothing shocking there. (GOLF DIGEST)

But after browsing around online, it got us thinking (and when we think, we become annoyed): When Tiger Woods is in contention, the media has it easy when it comes to verbs.

Either he's 'lurking' or 'in the hunt'. It never, ever fails.

A Google search confirmed it. A small sample of recent headlines:

• Everybody sees Tiger lurking just off pace -- The Toronto Star

• Woods lurking at World Golf Championships Event, Ogilvy leads -- AFP

• Tiger still in hunt -- Toronto Sun

• Woods already lurking at Duval -- The Courier News

• Tiger lurking one shot off pace at midway point of CA Championship -- The World

• Woods in hunt for eighth victory -- BBC

• Tiger's in the hunt with a 67 -- LA Times

• Misfiring Woods still in the hunt -- The Herald Sun

• Woods back in hunt -- The Sun-Sentinal

And, believe us, this could go on and on and on and on.
