PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods is to return to therapy after he speaks publicly for the first time about his infidelity, according to a letter from PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem that was obtained by The Associated Press. Woods is to speak at 11 a.m. EST from the clubhouse at TPC Sawgrass, home of the PGA Tour. The letter shed no light on whether Woods plans to return to the tour anytime soon.
WHISTLER, British Columbia — The best racers in the world are crashing like the people who pay for lift tickets do, forced into embarrassing head-over-skis tumbles down the slopes and worse. A few have been seriously injured, and, even in a sport that courts daredevils, more than a few are flat-out scared by the risks the courses and conditions demand.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The U.S. Olympic team had their best day ever in Winter Games history with six medals — half of them gold. The six medals were the most in one day by the U.S. at a Winter Olympics, topping the five earned Feb. 20, 2002, in Salt Lake City. The big names justified the hype, and then some: Lindsey, Shani and Shaun won in convincing fashion. And their less-heralded counterparts were just as impressive.
The outcome had been decided. The only question was whether UNLV would make a second-half basket.
SALT LAKE CITY — If not for the efforts of Tre’Von Willis, UNLV could have been blown out and embarrassed Wednesday night.
Every game and opponent is different. Lon Kruger is correct on that part. He was also accurate in saying a major reason his UNLV basketball team dropped games at home against New Mexico and at San Diego State last week had as much to do with opposing talent as anything else.
