▼ GOLF
Golfer says so far he is 'not at his best stuff'
BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods has a couple of streaks going in opposite directions.
The one getting most of the attention is his 2-0 start to 2006, playoff victories in the Buick Invitational and the Dubai Desert Classic that take expectations even higher. The last time he started off a year with two victories was in 2000, which has become his benchmark for dominance.
Making it three in a row means getting rid of another streak that is getting under his skin.
Woods is 0-10 at the Nissan Open, a record that dates to his PGA Tour debut as a 16-year-old amateur when he missed the cut. His record has improved only slightly since he turned professional, although the Nissan Open remains the only PGA Tour event he has played more than three times as a pro without winning.
"I just haven't played my best golf at the right time," Woods said Wednesday. "I've played some good golf, but not my best stuff. And this track, you've got to hit the ball well. You just can't get away with hitting it poorly around here and expect to win."
Not that he hasn't come close.
Woods is part of an All-Star collection of players in the hunt in 1999, the year Ernie Els pulled away from Woods, Davis Love III, David Duval and Nick Price to win by two shots.
Woods needed a birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff, but piped a 3-iron into a beer tent and made bogey.
Even when Woods was at his best - 2000 comes to mind
Riviera knocked him down. He had a stretch from the end of 1999 to the spring of 2000 in which he finished first or second in 10 out of 11 events. The exception, of course, was the Nissan Open, where he tied for 18th.
His next chance starts Thursday, and if his winless streak at his hometown tournament is weighing heavily, Woods isn't saying.
"You don't ever try to force a win," he said. "You just take it as a process. It's 72 holes. You take it a shot at a time, and hopefully at the end of the
One assumption seems safe -- that it will be 72 holes.
week, you're on top."
A year ago, players spent five days at Riviera and managed to squeeze in only 36 holes because of rain that turned the fairways into swamps and gave bunkers the literal meaning of "beach." Adam Scott and Chad Campbell were tied for the lead, didn't play Sunday and returned Monday morning for a playoff, which Scott won on the first extra hole.
Because it was only 36 holes, it did not count as an official victory.
CollegeBaseballInsider.com named senior outfielder Gus Milner its co-National Player of the Week on Wednesday.
Milner slugs his way to national recognition
BASEBALI
North Carolina State sophomore third baseman Matt Mangini was the other selection.
Margaret was the first Milner was also named Big 12 Player of the Week on Tuesday. The Olathe senior was a double shy of the cycle on Sunday against Stanford.
On the season, he has a slugging percentage of 1.000,.545 batting average, three home runs and 16 RBI in eight games.

No. 30 Kansas will hit the field again Friday against USC in the Public Storage Classic in Los Angeles, Kansas will also play No. 9 San Diego on Saturday.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Recruit named High School All-American
Kansas signee Kelly Kohn was named honorable mention for the 2006 High School All-America game.
The top 20 girls high school basketball players are selected to play in the game, with an additional 20 chosen as honorable mention. The Women's Basketball Coaches Associated selected the awards.
Kohn is a 5-foot-9-inch guard from Adrian, Mich, where she plays at Adrian High School. Through 15 games this season, she averages 24.1 points a game.
She chose Kansas over New Mexico, Pittsburgh, Bowling Green and Louisville, according to the Lenawee Daily Telegram.
The Big 12 north has only one player on the team, Yvonne Turner of Bellevue, Neb. Turner has committed to Nebraska for
the season.
Kohn is one of seven players Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has recruited for next season.

NASCAR Championship still in sight after poor year
People clapped and yelled to the four-time NASCAR champion, but Gordon kept talking to Letarte.
Jeff Gordon walked along pit road at Daytona International Speedway with crew chief Steve Letarte, oblivious to the fans around him.
"I was just telling Steve that I think we're going in the right direction here," Gordon said, grinning. "I just reminded him not to let any of the outside stuff bother him."
Gordon is coming off perhaps the most disappointing year of his career, struggling through the middle of the 2005 season and failing to qualify for the playoff-style Chase for the championship.
After winning three of the first nine races a year ago, including his third Daytona 500, Gordon's season crumbled.
Starting with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Gordon is intent on making a run at another title this year
At 34, the driver that Dale Earnhardt once dubbed "Wonder Boy" should be entering the prime of his career. Gordon is coming off perhaps the most disappointing year of his career, struggling through the middle of the 2005 season and failing to qualify for the playoff-style Chase for the championship.
Starting with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Gordon is intent on making a run at another title this year.
