A boy who was bullied for stuttering received strong encouragement from someone else who once struggled with his speech - Tiger Woods. Golf Digest published the letter from Woods on its website Tuesday. ''I know what it's like to be different and to sometimes not fit in,'' Woods wrote. I also took a class for two years to help me, and I finally learned to stop.'' The plight of the high school boy, identified only as Dillon, was publicized when his mother reached out to eight-time Solheim Cup player Sophie Gustafson of Sweden, who played her entire career on the LPGA and in Europe with a severe stuttering problem.
