Two more Wizards off to see judge
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Washington Wizards general manager Wes Useld bristled with anger about another off-the-court distraction. His two most highly paid, high-profile players, Juwan Howard and Chris Webber, are the subjects of a sexual-assault investigation.
"Quite frankly, I'm angry and disappointed that I'm standing here," Unseld said, "because of the lack of judgment that some of our players have used this season that has allowed them to be put into positions of having accusations leveled at them."
No charges have been filed against either Howard or Webber, who were named in a complaint filed by a woman Monday in Montgomery County, Md. Police spent yesterday interviewing potential witnesses who attended a party at Howard's house late Sunday and
early Monday, when the alleged assault took place.
Howard and Webber were in attendance at the party and were named by the woman, said police spokeswoman Ann Evans. "But to what degree their involvement is, whether they were the assaulters, we don't have a clear picture of it yet," she said.
Police have searched both players' houses and now want to question Howard and Webber, who were scheduled to return to the Washington
area early today following last night's Wizards-Bulls game in Chicago. The former Michigan teammates walked off the United Center court without comment following an early practice yesterday in Chicago, although Howard has called the accusations ludicrous and untrue.
Unseld said that he spoke to both players Monday and that both told him that the accusations were false.
Neither Unseld nor the police said when the two players would be questioned. Neither player's lawyer returned calls seeking comment.
Evans said about 40 people attended the party, which followed the Wizards' defeat of the Orlando Magic Sunday afternoon, a big victory in Washington's push to make the playoffs.
Woods hopes dreamlike Masters will become reality again this year
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The child curled in his bed searching for sleep would never dare to dream it, partly because it is so improbable, mostly because it would be no fun.
When the child imagines being a hero, it is always the shot at the buzzer, the home run in the bottom of the ninth or the putt on the final green.
It is never winning by 12 strokes.
Not even Tiger Woods ever dreamed of a performance like the one he put on last year in the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.
"I never thought I would have the lead like I did," Woods said after his tearful hug with his father on the 18th green last April to become the first African-American man to put on the green jacket of the Masters champion.
"You envision dueling it out with Faldo, or Nicklaus or Watson, someone who is always tough to beat down the stretch, or birdieing 16, 17 and 18 to get into a playoff." Woods said. "But never in the fashion I did. That's something you never dream of. It's kind of nice that it became a reality."
What Woods did in the 1997 Masters
A record 18 under par. A record 12-stroke victory. The youngest person ever to win the Masters. The first person of color to win a major championship.
was bevond anvone's wildest dreams.
Good looking, intelligent, dynamic. No one in Hollywood would buy the idea. It was preposterous.
That is just part of the enormous burden Woods carries into this Masters. Not only is he expected to win, he is expected to win big, especially by the large group of new fans he brought to the sport for the first time last year.
Woods has set the impossible as his standard.
If he feels the weight of that expectation, he masked it brilliantly when he entered the interview room at Augusta for the first time since his victory last year.
"Can I better it?" he asked yesterday about the effort in which he played the final 63 holes 22 under par after opening with a 40 on the first nine holes. "Yeah, Take away that 40."
Last year, Woods caught people by surprise with his shocking declaration of greatness. This year, greatness is expected, seemingly even by himself.
"Was last year perfect?" Woods asked. "Far from it. We all make mistakes."
Woods has made his share of mistakes lately. Since winning five of his first 16 starts on the PGA Tour, Woods is i-for-19 and has gone winless in 14 consecutive tour events covering nearly 10 months.
Woods: Can he repeat last year's Masters feast?
He was not a serious contender in any of the three major championships after the Masters.
For many, particularly those casual fans, anything short of victory by Woods in this year's Masters will be considered a failure, perhaps even by Woods himself.
"This is a big tournament and all," said Woods' couch Butch Harmon two weeks ago at The Players Championship, where Woods finished 35th. "And it is a lot of money, but it is hard for him to have his mind on Augusta."
Woods all but admitted that.
"Winning major championships is what it's all about," Woods said. "The majors are what I aim for."
This is the first major of the year. No one can win the Grand Slam unless he wins the Masters.
It was a game he would not play.
"Anyone who tees it up this week can win." Woods said diabolically.
It was a role he seemed born to play.
In separate corners of the interview room, Earl and Tida Woods watched as their son deftly handled the role of Masters champion.
Dozens of TV crews jammed the interview room, and hundreds of reporters from across the world tried to get Woods to say the Masters was Tiger Woods against the field.
It was a role I felt seemed born to play.
"I think this year is much easier because I know how to win here," Woods said. "I'm definitely growing as a player. Every year I keep growing as a player."
After the last question was answered, Woods, who had played the front nine in the morning, said: "Perfect;" nodded his head and made his way to the 10th tee to play the back nine.
Perfect. Just like his performance last year, a performance so perfect not even a child would dare dream it.
Eye of Tiger on 1998 Masters, future
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The green jacket of the Masters champion hangs in Tiger Woods' closet. The winner's trophy sits in his living room. The closet, presumably, has space for many more coats, and the living room undoubtedly can hold more hardware.
Still, storage space could become a problem for Woods.
Virtually everyone assumes he will win at Augusta National Golf Club many more times. And when play begins tomorrow for the 62nd Masters, it truly will be the beginning of the second year of the Tiger Woods era.
But it also may be the beginning of something else. It may be the beginning of an intensely competitive period in the major championships.
If last year was the appetizer, then
bring on the full course.
If last year — with Woods, now 22,
Ernie Els, 28, Justin Leonard, 25, and
Dave Love III, 33, winning major championships — was the warmup, bring in
the main act.
The only thing that was missing last year was a good, old-fashioned shootout among the young guns down the stretch on Sunday.
"We haven't really played well together in a major championship," Els said yesterday, speaking of his rivalry with Woods. "Maybe this is the start of it."
Woods is ranked No.1 in the world and Els is No.2, though they virtually are deadlocked.
"But we're two of 20 really good young players out there," Els said. "So we'll just see how we go."
There was Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones
and Gene Sarazen in the 1920s followed by Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan from the 1930s into the '50s.
Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player carried golf to unprecedented popularity in the 1960s.
It is a sport that needs rivalries — and right now it appears to be on the verge of some remarkable ones.
Woods and Els are joined by Leonard, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furky, David Duval and Lee Westwood as great players, the oldest of which is 28. None of them would be a surprise winner this week.
"Right now there is a very large group of very good young players that are taking it to the hoop every week," said Tom Kite, the 48-year-old who was the almost-forgotten runner up to Woods in last year's Masters. "It's fun to watch."
Kite, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, Nick Price and Greg Norman are among
those in the 40-plus crowd who still have the talent and confidence to contend with the youngsters here this week.
"We're not dead and buried yet," Faldo said.
Still, this year's tournament clearly revolves around Woods. There is a feeling that he could run away with it again.
Asked if he could better last year's record score, Woods said: "Who knows? Anything is possible."
But there also is the feeling that others will sprint with Woods if he tries to break from the pack.
"But I don't believe it's Tiger Woods against the field," Els said. "I think it's Tiger against the Augusta National golf course and it's for the rest of the field to do the same."

"Will he be in contention?" Els said. "Definitely, even if he doesn't play well. The golf course just suits him that well."
