ORLANDO, Fla. --- The ambulance crew that responded after Tiger Woods crashed his SUV would not allow his wife to ride with him to the hospital because they suspected domestic violence, documents released Friday by the Florida Highway Patrol show.
But a police officer who responded said he didn't know where the crew got that information because he never heard it from anyone at the scene.
The reports also showed Woods' wife, Elin, turned over two bottles of pain pills to troopers after the Nov. 27 crash outside the couple's suburban Orlando home.
Woods crashed his sport utility vehicle into a fire hydrant at 2:30 a.m., and officers found him lying in the street. The couple told investigators Elin Woods smashed the back window of the SUV with a golf club so she could unlock a door and pull him out.
Woods, the world's No. 1 golfer, has strenuously denied his wife abused him.
PGA TOUR: In Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, Skip Kendall topped the Puerto Rico Open leaderboard at 5-under after nine holes when first-round play was suspended because of darkness Friday in the rain-delayed PGA Tour event.
Heavy morning rain suspended play just 20 minutes after the first tee time and the round didn't resume until 4:35 p.m. Downpours also forced the suspension of play Thursday.
Kendall eagled the par-4 10th -- his first hole of the day -- and added three birdies.
