Buzzer beater gets Seattle Game 1 win
Sue Bird made a tiebreaking lumper from the foul line with 26 seconds left and the Seattle Storm beat the Atlanta Dream 19-7 in Game 1 of the WNBA finals on Sunday.

Bird also hit a key shot in the Western Conference finals, making a 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds left to give the Storm a 91-88 victory against Phoenix in the clinching game.

Tiger Woods misses invitation to tour
For the first time in his career Tiger Woods won't be playing a tournament because he's not invited.
Woods got off to a rugged start Sunday in the BMW Championship and shot 1-under 70, leaving too far back to get into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standir.gs and qualify for the playoff finale at the Tour Championship.
It will be the third time in five years that Woods has not played the Tour Championship. He missed in 2006 when he cut his season short, and in 2008 while recovering from knee surgery. This time, he's not going to East Lake because he's not eligible.
His next tournament will be the Ryder Cup.
Woods played with Phil Mick elson, who shot 67. It was their 26th time playing in the same group, and their head-to-head record is now even — 11-11-4.

Perhaps if No. 10 Oklahoma's 47-17 win on Saturday had come against a team other than No. 17 Florida State — with Mark Stoops coaching the defense — it would have felt a lot more satisfying for the Sooners' coach.
Landry Jones outplayed Christian Ponder by throwing for 380 yards and four touchdowns against Mark Stoops' defense, and the Sooners (2-0) moved past their
"It's a rotten place to be because I appreciate the way our team played and all that, but you just cannot separate blood," Bob Stoops said. "I just don't like it. I knew that coming into the game I didn't, and I'm positive of it now after the game."
shaky season opener in style.
A rematch of the 2001 Orange Bowl that brought home the Sooners' most recent national championship quickly turned into a blowout as Oklahoma scored touchdowns on its first four possessions.
He completed 14 straight passes at one point, starting at the end of the Sooners' opening drive and continuing past when held pushed the lead to 27-7 with his third touchdown pass.
Ponder, who's being promoted as a Heisman Trophy contender by the school, was 11 for 28 for 113 yards with interceptions on back-to-back throws in the third quarter for Florida State (1-1). He completed less than half of his passes for the first time since the 2008 season.
"It kind of just snowballed and I take a lot of blame for that," Ponder said. "A lot of mistakes out there today and I put my team in a bad position to not score points. I really think it's my fault."
"We knew who we were, we knew what we were capable of, and we came out here and showed what we're capable of today." Jones said.
"It's a rotten place to be because I appreciate the way our team played and all that, but you just cannot separate blood."
The Seminoles had four first downs on their opening possession, but picked up only five more over the next 2½ quarters against
Jones got into a rhythm with short, swing passes and screens near the line of scrimmage before striking down the field for scores.

an Oklahoma secondary that had been burned for 341 yards and a handful of big plays a week earlier in a 31-24 win against Utah State.
"I wasn't worried about last week," Bob Stoops said. "I
know what were capable of when we are able to play all of our defense, use our blitzes, use our different coverages schemes. And I thought we did them well.
"Christian Ponder's a great player. To hold him down the way we did, you have to be playing good defense because he's an excellent player."

Royals give up lead to White Sox
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Paul Konerko had a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single and pinch-hitter Andruw Jones hit grand slam in a six-run sixth inning, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 12-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Konerko lined a run-scoring single to left to give Chicago its first lead of the game in the sixth inning.
Kansas City led 6-0 after a half inning, but Chicago chipped away with two runs apiece in the first, third and fourth innings.
The White Sox remain six games behind Minnesota, who
beat Cleveland, and face the Twins in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday.
The Royals sent nine batters to the plate in the first, scoring six runs against starting pitcher Lucas Harrell on a pair of three-run home runs from Billy Butler and Brayan Pena.
Konerko connected for his 35th homer of the season in the bottom half. Konerko hit his second two-run shot in the third, this time sending a 1-2 pitch on a towering fly to left field. He now has 27 career multihomer games, the last coming on June 2 against Texas.
Chicago tied the game with a pair of fourth-inning runs. Juan
Pierre had a sacrifice fly while Alexei Ramirez scored from third on a passed ball with Konerko at the plate.
Dusty Hughes entered in relief and walked A.J. Pierzynski to score Alex Rios for an 8-1 lead.
In the decisive sixth, the White Sox had runners on first and third when Konerko delivered single that brought home Omar Vizquel Humber then hit Manny Ramiez with a pitch to load the bases.
Chris Getz left the game with a mild concussion after being hit in the head on a throw from Pierzynski, the catcher, while running to second in the fifth inning.
