Tiger Woods to media after worst round ever: 'Just doing this so I don't get fined'

Tiger Woods showed he still has a sense of humor despite carding the highest score of his professional career Friday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Woods, who shot an 11-over 82 in the second round at TPC Scottsdale, started his post-round interview by channeling Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.

"I'm just doing this so I don't get fined," Woods said with a smile. You can see it right away in the video above.

Lynch, who has earned a reputation -- and fines -- for avoiding the media or giving it short answers, made the phrase popular during Super Bowl Media Day by responding 29 different times to reporter questions with some variation of "I'm just here so I don't get fined." That phrase has since become a social-media sensation.

Here's a sampling of Lynch's antics:
