CARLTON Cole has urged his West Ham team-mates to produce a late charge for survival to mirror the surge Tiger Woods made on the final day of the Masters at the weekend.
The Hammers remain in the bottom three of the Premier League table and face a slog to escape the drop into the Championship. But Cole has called on the team to draw from the experience of Woods, who began day four at Augusta seven shots off the lead, before clawing his way back to jointly lead the first major of the year.
Charl Schwartzel eventually went on to claim the Green Jacket, but Cole still thinks Woods' revival can be an inspiration for West Ham.
“Watching the golf reminded me of us,” said the striker.
“Tiger fought right until the end, even when the chips were down, we have to do the same as a team.”
