Shoulder injury ends quarterback's season
STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State quarterback Tony Lindsay will miss the rest of the year due to a shoulder injury suffered during a pre-season scrimmage.
Lindsay had struggled with his passing in the first five games. The Cowboys have totaled just 23 points
in the past three games, all of them losses that have dropped OSU to 2-3 overall, 0-2 in the Big 12.
"That's not the Tony Lindsay I know and have been around," coach Bob Simmons said Monday. "I just think mentally it continued to wear on him."
Simmons said Lindsay apparently hurt the shoulder while making a tackle in a scrimmage Aug. 26. A doctor in Colorado will do the surgery in the next few weeks.
The injury continues a string of bad luck for Lindsay. A year ago, he injured a knee in the season opener and wound up playing in just six games.

Westwood wins sixth tour event this season
VIRGINIA WATER, England — Lee Westwood dethroned Colin
Montgomerie at the World Match Play Championship. Now he's set to end Montgomerie's seven-year reign as Europe's top
monev winner.
The sudden-death victory Monday was Westwood's sixth win on the European Tour this season. He made a 20-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff to beat Montgomerie in a tournament that was continued a day because of heavy rain Sunday.
Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faido and Montgomerie are the only others to have won six European tour events in a season.
With three events to play,
Westwood has a chance to make
European history by winning at least
seven tour titles. He's also in strong
position to break Montgomerie's
stranglehold as Europe's No. 1
money-winner with $362,500.
