SAN FRANCISCO — In a phenomenal display of power between golf's two biggest sluggers, Tiger Woods outlasted John Daly in the American Express Championship because of a 3-foot putt.
Woods made up two shots over the final three holes Sunday to force a playoff, then won on the second extra hole when Daly three- putted for bogey from 15 feet on the 16th, badly pulling his short par putt.
"I just played that second putt straight, and it went left," Daly said. "It wasn't mean to be."

Last preseason game leaves Kansas 10-0

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
The Kansas softball team preserved its spotless fall record Sunday and defeated Johnson County Community College and Missouri Western to end the preseason.
The two victories gave the Jayhawks a perfect 10-0 record in the fall.
The Jayhawks began the day by pounding the Cavaliers from Johnson County, 5-1.
Freshman pitcher Valerie George allowed no runs and one hit through four innings before being replaced by senior pitcher Serena Settlemier. Settlemier finished off the Cavaliers, pitching three innings and allowing one run and one hit.
Freshman third baseman Val Chapple led the offense, going 2-3 from the plate with two RBIs.
"We're full of chemistry," Chapple said. "We all get along together and do stuff outside of the field. When you have good chemistry you play well."
Her two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning was all the Jayhawks needed to knock off the Cavaliers. Chapple said her teammates deserved credit for the victory.
Kansas had to fight harder to earn its second victory of the day, edging Missouri Western 1-0. Strong defense kept Missouri Western in the game, but its offense couldn't get going against the pitching combo of Settleier and junior Kassie Humphreys.

Settlemier struck out four and allowed no hits through two innings. Humphreys completed the no-hitter with nine strikeouts after relieving Settlemier in the third inning.
The pitching duel was interrupted in the fourth inning
when the Jayhawks scored the lone run of the game. Chapple ripped a pitch off the top of the left field wall in the bottom of the inning, narrowly missing her second home run of the day.
Senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein quickly drove in Chapple with a single.
A couple of mistakes on the base paths later in the fourth inning kept the Jayhawks from adding to their lead.
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said she was pleased with Chapple and had high expectations for her in the spring season.
Chapple said the fall season helped her ease into softball at the college level.
"I know the upperclassmen know what to expect, so this was a good amount for them," Chapple said. "I could always go for more."
"She's a gamer," Bunge said. "I think that she's definitely swung the bat maybe
what we've got in our freshmen. We also have played enough that we know what things we need to work on in the offseason."
The Jayhawks will kick off the spring season against Florida on Feb. 10 in the Wilson/Dimarini Tournament, in Houston.
Kassie Humphreys, junior pitcher, hits a single in Sunday's game against Missouri Western. Coach Tracy Bunge considers Humphreys the top returning pitcher from 2004 and is expected to contribute in the field and at the plate.
The Jayhawks will enjoy a week off before taking the field for more practice.
Bunge said she was satisfied with the team's performance in the fall season and looked forward to working with the players individually.
even a little bit better this fall than I thought she would."
"We've had enough games now," she said. "We know

NASCAR
Racing pessimist wins, hopes for more
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Mark Martin is probably NASCAR's best known pessimist.
As Martin raced toward a victory Sunday at Kansas Speedway that would keep his slim championship hopes alive, he couldn't shake the feeling that something would keep him from Victory Lane.

"We got the lead in the first half of the race and just stayed out front and that's a formula for heartbreak in my world because, more often than not, something goes wrong," Martin said.
Not this time.
Teammate Greg Biffle did give the 46-year-old Martin a late scare, but the veteran racer remained out front for the 35th victory of his career. It was Martin's first points victory — he did win an exhibition event in Charlotte in May — since June 2004 at Dover.
To do it, Martin had to hold off his Roush Racing teammates.
Biffle, another of the 10 drivers in the Chase, passed Stewart for second place 30 laps from the end of the 267-lap Banquet 400 and went after Martin, cutting a lead of about 20 car-lengths to less than half of that.
But the last laugh might belong to Tony Stewart, who finished fourth and extended his Chase lead from four points to 75. It was Stewart's 15th top 10 finish in the last 16 races and, more important, his third in the first four events of this year's 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup championship.
Martin and Biffle led a team sweep of the top three spots and another Roush driver, Matt Kenseth, finished fifth.
WOMEN'S GOLF
But Martin was able to hold on, leading Biffle and Carl Edwards to the finish line. Martin jumped from ninth to seventh in the standings, 113 points behind Stewart with six races left in the Chase.
"That's too far back," said Martin, that pessimism showing up again. "We can go and win us some more and you never know. But it's going to be a lot harder now than it was going to be if we could have finished in the top 10 at Talladega."
Jayhawks defend Sunflower title
The Jayhawks won the tournament last year. It was the team's best finish at a tournament since 1990.
The Kansas women's golf team will play in the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational today in Manhattan.
Big 12 Conference foes Kansas State and Nebraska, along with SMU, TCU and last year's runner up UTEP will headline the field of 13 schools.
Last week, Kansas finished second overall at The Battle at the Lake in Tulsa, Okla. Senior Chelsey Pryor won the tournament individually. Junior Amanda Costner and sophomore Annie Giangrosso also had top 10 individual finishes for the Jayhawks.
Today's tournament begins at 8:30 a.m. Teams will play the first 36 holes today and the next 18 tomorrow.
