QUOTE OF THE DAY
FACT OF THE DAY Tiger was second in putting in this past weekend's field of play.
ESPN
THE MORNING BREW Tiger Woods looks like a professional again
last weekend, Tiger Woods shot 19-under par to win the WGC-Cadillac Championship in
He explained that Stricker had helped him with his putting during some practice time. It was this practice with Stricker that helped Woods win the tournament, as his putting played an integral role in his victory. Though Woods is known for his putting, it is rare for professional golfers to receive help from their competitors. Joe LaCava, Woods' caddy since 2011, said that this was the best performance he's seen
Cadillac Championship in Miami, Fla. To win, he beat out Steve Stricker, a good friend of Woods, by two shots. In his post-victory interview, Woods did something surprising. He thanked his competition for helping him win.
from him since was hired. Woods' most recent performance begs the question: is Tiger Woods on the verge of dominating the Golf world again? Given the uphill battle he has fought since his 2009 infidelity scandal and car accident with his now ex-wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren, a performance like Sunday's may signal Woods' reclamation of his former glory. Yet, one successful outing does not constitute a comeback. For the golf world and fans alike to consider Woods as being back to his former level as a player, he needs to win a major tournament very soon. Yes he will go down as a golfing legend, but the infidelity scandal and the subsequent fallout affected him tremendously, and recovery has been long in the making. In two weeks, he will participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which is loaded with talented golfers. In one month, the most prestigious championship, the Masters, will take place. This event will test Woods' mettle on the course, and the world will decide if he is actually back.
Even though I am a little uncertain about Tiger's comeback in the golf
world, seeing him win again is always a good sign for not only golf fans, but for all sports fans in general. Lately, golf has been getting dominated by players who are not from the United States and even though it's great to see, it's always better to see one of our own donning the green jackets.

DEATH
1 killed in bus crash involving college athletes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
State police say a 64-year-old woman passenger in the red Porsche was killed and the 65-year-old man who was driving was hospitalized in critical but stable condition. Four players on the bus were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. — A sports car spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate New York and was hit Tuesday by a bus carrying college lacrosse players from Vermont that was sent topping onto its side, police said.
The crash happened shortly before noon Tuesday on Interstate 87 in Saratoga County, about 150
miles north of New York City.
State Police Lt. Greg Thomas said the bus was carrying 34 players, three coaches and a driver from Saint Michael's College, a small Catholic liberal arts school in Colchester, Vt., to a game in Westchester County, just north of New York City.
He said the bus landed on its side off the road after running into the Porsche, which ended up mangled on the median.
Bob Urban, who was driving in front of the bus, tells WNYT-TV he saw the Porsche slewing across the three-lane road.
"As I accelerated to clear him he veered left again, causing his Porsche to spin out of control."
the Clifton Park resident said.
"When I looked up I could see the bus was going to make impact. It was unavoidable. The bus had no other option."
Urban said the Porsche "shattered ... more like exploded" when it was hit.
A work van was also damaged hitting one of the other vehicles or debris, Thomas said. Its driver wasn't hurt.
The southbound lane of the highway between exits 9 and 10 remained closed indefinitely Tuesday afternoon, troopers said.
Players wearing purple jackets and white shorts were taken on a local school bus to a nearby firehouse.
According to the Saint Michael's website, the team is scheduled to play at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., on Wednesday afternoon.
"Everyone's OK. They're safe, they're happy," said interim head coach Pat Ivory, who took over the team after the Feb. 15 death of longtime head coach Paul Schimoler, who died at age 45 from brain cancer.
It was the team's first road trip of the season. Ivory said he was sitting at the front of the bus when the crash happened, but he declined to comment on details, saying he'd leave that to police.
