Winner of the Westminster Dog Show’s hound group was Ch. Gayleward’s Tiger Woods, a 7-year-old male Scottish deerhound bred and owned by Gayle Bontecou and handled by Clifford W. Steele.

Bontecou is, predictably, an avid golfer. She told USA Today that her prize-winning dog was named after the golf pro because ‘there’s nothing better than Tiger Woods,’ adding that his human namesake should approve ‘because he’s really good. They both are total athletes.’

Rounding out the top four hounds were an Irish wolfhound named Ch. Dun Myrica Speaker of Eagle, a bloodhound named Ch. Quiet Creek’s Mi Amor and a wirehaired dachshund named Ch. Daybreak’s Awesome Blossom W.
