Daly accuses wife of attack with steak knife

John Daly's messy personal life overshadowed golf once again Friday, this time when he accused his wife of waking him up by attacking him with a steak knife.

Daly was the talk at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., on a day when thunderstorms forced a three-hour delay, and former UNLV player Adam Scott's 4-under 66 gave him a one-stroke clubhouse lead when darkness suspended play in the Stanford St. Jude Championship.

A total of 26 players were unable to complete the round.

Daly, playing on a sponsor's exemption, was 4 over after following his opening 70 with a 74. The projected cut today was 4 or 5 over.

Daly grabbed attention as he prepared to start his round on the No. 1 tee before the delay, with both cheeks looking as if he'd been clawed.

He released a statement and accused his wife of attacking him as he woke up in his home near the course. Sheriff's deputies were called, and Daly said he had made a complaint with the sheriff's department and would have no further comment during an investigation by police.

No charges had been filed as of late Friday.

Also: Suzann Pettersen birdied three of her last four holes Friday just in time to escape the heat, posting a 5-under 67 to take a one-shot lead over Karrie Webb in the LPGA Championship in Havre De Grace, Md.

Michelle Wie, the 17-year-old from Hawaii, was lucky to still be in the tournament.

She bogeyed her last hole that left her at 3-over 147. It looked like she would miss the cut by one shot. But Karen Davies, playing in the final group, bogeyed the last hole to allow 14 other players -- Wie included -- to make the cut.

Jay Haas holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole to take a one-stroke lead in the Principal Charity Classic in West Des Moines, Iowa.

Dolphins' Culpepper won't agree to trade

Trent Green's first practice with the Miami Dolphins was apparently Daunte Culpepper's final.

Frustrated by the team's decision to let him only participate in individual drills, Culpepper walked off the practice field about an hour into the start of a three-day minicamp.

"Any team that's interested in my services, just sit tight," Culpepper said. "I'm not going to agree to a trade."

Also: The Surry, Va., prosecutor who questioned why federal authorities would take an interest in a suspected dog-fighting case possibly involving Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick sounded a conciliatory tone and said there would be "parallel investigations."

Former IBF lightweight champion Paul Spadafora is back in prison for allegedly violating his parole.

Spadafora, 31, was arrested May 30 and is being held in the state prison at Albion, Pa.

Spadafora's attorney and promoter said the alleged violation stems from a protection-from-abuse order sought by Spadafora's girlfriend, whom Spadafora shot in 2003.

Also: A Brigham Young basketball player whose alcohol-related arrest ended his playing career at the school pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving.

Rashaun Broadus was placed on probation for a year and ordered to pay $432. A six-month jail term was suspended.
