Lindsey Vonn won a downhill skiing event on Sunday to tie the 

all-time women's World Cup record, and her boyfriend Tiger Woods was watching from back home in Florida.

"He said, `Good job,' and he's proud of me," Vonn told the Associated Press. "He was watching with his daughter Sam, so they were up early in the morning."

It was 5 a.m. in Florida at the time Vonn was racing but that's not the real news.

The real news is that Vonn's mother, Lindy Lunn (right), has met Woods and gives the 14-time major winner a thumbs up.

"I've met him. Nice guy. I like him."

She didn't add "short game stinks right now, though," but I wish she would have.
