It's pretty hard to see the resemblance, but an Iowa man has created a Tiger Woods statue made completely of lost golf balls.

Kevin Pingel has been playing golf since he was a kid. Now, he lives on an Alta, Iowa, course and collects errant golf balls that land on his property. Last November, at the urging of a friend, Pingel decided to make a statue from the hundreds of balls he had gathered. After a lot of stringing on metal and welding, the statue was finished.

Pingel tells KCAU-TV that it's supposed to be a statue of Tiger Woods.
