Woods Won’t Host Event; He’ll Rest Knee Instead
Tiger Woods will not be able to host his AT&T National event this week due to major reconstructive surgery on his left knee.

As he prepares to defend his British Open title, Padraig Harrington is driven by fear, ego and a will to win.
The most prominent memento on display in Padraig Harrington’s palatial home south of Dublin isn’t a golf trophy but a framed copy of the Good Friday Agreement, the 1998 accord that ended the 30- year conflict in Northern Ireland. It bears the signatures of a rogues’ gallery of combatants-turned-peacemakers and stands as a testament to fortitude, a seemingly impossible achievement that nearly slipped away at the last minute.

Park held steady to become the youngest winner of the U.S. Women’s Open
You know something about all those Parks and Swedes and teenagers playing in the U.S. Women’s Open last week? Each of them took a remarkable journey to get into the field at Interlachen, in suburban Minneapolis. One Swede (Annika Sorenstam) bade farewell to the Open in high style. Another (Helen Alfredsson) finished second and on Monday morning was schlepping around her bags by herself at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Then there was one of the teenage Park girls — Inbee Park, born on July 12, 1988, in South Korea — who had the most remarkable week of them all. All she did was win the thing in dominating fashion.
