GOLF (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Nebraska took second place by way of a tiebreaker.
Individually, Jordan Irwin of Houston and Matt Miller of Illinois St. finished in second and third, respectively. Irwin finished four strokes behind Woodland while Miller was six shots back.
Kansas next heads to Glencoe, Ill., to take part in the Windon Memorial Classic on Oct. 8 and 9. The Jayhawks are riding the
momentum of this week's victory, coupled with a fifth place finish at the Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate earlier this month.

Missouri defensive end small, still effective
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- At some point, Missouri coaches stopped bothering Brian Smith about his weight. After all, it's hard to argue with the results.
The 230-pound defensive end may be small for his position, but he's a big reason the Tigers are off to
a 3-0 start heading into Saturday's home game against Ohio.
The fifft-year senior has for years been peppered with questions about how much he weighed, and told he needed to add bulk. Now, coach Gary Pinkel and defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski have called off the interrogation.
"I guess they have confidence in me that I can play at the weight I'm at right now," Smith said.
A Missouri player has won a player of the week award each of the past three weeks.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Negro Leagues star Buck O'Neil was hospitalized Sunday so doctors could conduct a series of tests, said Bob Kendrick, marketing director for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
This is the second time O'Neil has been admitted since he was hospitalized Aug. 5 for exhaustion.
O'Neil, 94, had been experiencing sporadic problems with his voice even prior to his July speech at
tion ceremony, but they seem to be lingering this time. Kendrick said.

With those at-bats, he became the oldest man ever to play professional baseball. He surpassed 83-year-old Jim Eriotes, who struck out in a minor league game in South Dakota earlier that month, by more than a decade.
O'Neil, one of the driving forces in the creation of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, received a standing ovation before and after he spoke at the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in July. Seventeen Negro Leagues players were enshrined, but O'Neil wasn't among them — despite widespread support in the baseball community.

RYDER CUP
Duo of Americans look to win in Ireland
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
STRAFFAN, Ireland — On paper and in person, they look nothing alike.
Tiger Woods is sheer power, from his 12 major championships and 63 titles worldwide to his acclaim as the richest athlete and one of the most recognizable faces in the world.
Jim Furyk is a U.S. Open champion who grinds at his golf and is recognized only by his swing, which is not always a compliment. An analyst once described it as an octopus falling out of a tree.
Woods' reputation is the long ball.
But they almost certainly will be partners in this Ryder Cup, a combination that makes sense only to them.
Furyk is so accurate he can aim at stripes left by a lawn mower.
Their success is crucial to an American team that has lost four of the last five times in the Ryder Cup.
For all his greatness in the majors, Woods has been nothing more than ordinary in the Ryder
Cup. Woods is 1-7 on Fridays at the Ryder Cup, riding an ugly streak of seven straight losses.Furyk isn't much better.
"Believe it or not, Jim and I play the game the same way — it's just I hit the ball further," Woods said recently. "But our belief in how we play the game strategically, how we read greens, the philosophy of getting around the golf course, we're almost identical."
Asked about the possible distractions of playing with the world's No. 1 player, Furyk stared back as if he didn't understand the question. Then he shrugged, and delivered an answer that showed why he and Woods get along so well.
"You can either say, 'Uh-oh, I'm playing with the best player in the world' Or you can say, 'All right! I'm playing with the best player in the world'!" Furky said. "What's the worst that can happen? It's not the end of the world"
That smacks of what Woods often has said about coping with pressure over some of the biggest putts he has ever made.
United States Ryder Cup team member Tiger Woods tees off from the 17th, during a practice session at the K Club golf course, Strafan, Ireland on Tuesday. The Ryder Cup, the biannual match between the United States and Europe, will get underway on Friday.
