DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa's "butter cow lady" hopes to hit a hole in one at the Iowa State Fair this summer.

Norma "Duffy" Lyon plans a life-size butter sculpture of one of the best known golfers in the world -- Tiger Woods.

Lyon, who lives on a dairy farm near Toledo, has carved a full-size dairy cow at the fair for almost 50 years. In recent years, she started adding other sculptures.

Lyons says she likes to watch golf. So this year, it's Tiger Woods.

Lyons says she thinks she needs permission to do Tiger Woods in butter, and has told the fair about her plans. The fair's marketing director, Lori Chappell, says the request is in the process of being made.

Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg, says he wasn't aware of the fair's request or the butter sculpture and declined further comment.

The Iowa State Fair starts Aug. 11.
