Kansas moved to 7-0 on the season after a 73-61 victory. Furyk wins Chevron World Challenge PGA Associated Press BY DOUG FERGUSON He said the choice of color was a coincidence, not a statement. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Jim Furyk dressed in red and played the part Sunday, holing a clutch par putt and hitting his best shot of the day on the final hole to win the Chevron World Challenge for his first victory in more than two years. Even so, it was a fitting conclusion to a week dominated by talk of Tiger Woods. Woods, the tournament host, wasn't around to present the trophy to one of his favorite players on the PGA Tour. He withdrew because of unspecified injuries from his Nov. 27 car accident, yet Woods remained part of every conversation because of worldwide publicity over allegations of extramarital affairs. Woods posted a statement on his Web site as the final round was under way to thank his sponsors, staff and volunteers. "And I am sincerely sorry I was unable to fulfill my duties as host and player in this important event," he said. It was an important event to Furyk and the runner-up, Graeme McDowell, in different ways. Furyk, who closed with a 5-under 67, last won a tournament recognized by the world ranking at the 2007 Canadian Open. He didn't imagine the drought He followed that with a 9-iron from 146 yards that landed near the hole and spun back to 5 feet. Before he could putt, Faryk saw on the leaderboard that Lee Westwood had birdied the 17th and was tied for the lead. He calmly rapped in the birdie putt. With a one-shot lead and in a horrible spot in the bunker well below the 17th green, Furyk played it safe to 35 feet beyond the hole and was hopeful of lagging a tricky putt to 3 feet to make no worse than bogey. Instead, he watched it break sharply to the right over the final few feet and drop into the cup for an unlikely par. would end at Sherwood, not after taking a six-week break after the Presidents Cup. "It was a deep sigh of relief that the ball went in." Furyk said. "I knew at that point it was still my tournament to win, and I played very aggressively down the stretch." The way he played the final two holes made it clear Furyk has not forgotten how to close. Westwood, who recently won the European tour money title for the second time this decade, had a chance to force a playoff until he failed to hole his chip from just off the green. Then, he missed the short par putt for a 70 that left him in a tie for third with Padraig Harrington, who twice chipped in for eagle on his way to a 70. Woods at this tournament, had to hole out from 18th fairway to tie Furry, and his shot looked as though it had a chance until it spun by the hole. The birdie gave him second place alone. That was enough to move him to No. 38 in the world, making him a lock for the Masters next year. The top 50 at the end of the year earn invitations to Augusta National, and McDowell had decided not to chase ranking points at the end of the year. Then came a phone call about Woods withdrawing, and changed quickly. McDowell, the replacement for "Timing is everything," McDowell said. "To get the call-up was good, although I wish it had been different circumstances. Sometimes this game gives you something back when you least expect it." everything That's your goal every year to go out and win, and I haven't been able to do it. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone." Furyk anticipated getting questions about Woods during the week, although with his 70-71 start that left him in the middle of the pack, no one sought him out. Holding the trophy of a large tiger pawing the globe, he didn't have much to say about a week of shocking publicity. accident, didn't hear back and has given Woods his space. Furyk said he wouldn't be surprised if Woods sents him a text for winning his tournament, "and then I would reply and wish him the best." He said he sent Woods a text message when he heard of the "Tough times," Furyk said. "So they need the support of their JIM FURYK Professional golfer COLUMBIA, Mo. — Bowl season will again be a homecoming for those 31 Missouri football players who hail from Texas. friends right now, and I know that people are thinking about them." COLLEGE FOOTBALL Mizzou's Texas bowl game will be its fourth in a row Furyk took the lead with a birdie on the 10th and never trailed again, although the tournament was in doubt until the end with so many birdies and eagles available at Sherwood. Harrington and Stricker each had two eagles in their round, Paul Casey had a tournament-best 64 in completing his first 72-hole event since the British Open, and Camilo Villegas made an albatross on the par-5 13th by holing a 3-wood from 262 yards. "It's bothered me," Furyk said of his victory drought. "I'd be lying if I said otherwise. That's your goal every year to go out and win, and I haven't been able to do it. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone." Furky, who finished at 13-under 275, earned $1.35 million in his last event until the Northern Trust Open at Riviera in February. For the fourth straight season. the Tigers (8-4) will head to the Lone Star State to play a bowl game. Missouri accepted a bid Sunday to the Texas Bowl on Dec. 31 in Houston, where it will face off against Navy (8-4). "It'll mean a great deal to get a lot of people coming in to represent me and Mizzou," senior linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, a native of Jasper, Texas, said. "I'm already in a ticket frenzy. I got people texting me from everywhere. I don't even know half these numbers coming in." Missouri played in the 2006 Sun Bowl in El Paso as well as the Cotton and Alamo bowls, in Dallas and San Antonio, respectively, in 2008. The Tigers have had plenty of success in postseason games in Texas, winning two of those three and are 4-2 all-time. "I'm from Marin, about three hours away," senior wide receiver Danario Alexander said. "It will be exciting playing at Reliant Stacium in front of all 6,000 people from my city." The Texas Bowl had the final selection of teams from the Big 12, and once the Insight Bowl passed over Missouri for Iowa State (6-6), the faceoff with Navy was set. The Insight Bowl selected KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Iowa State despite the fact that the Tigers own a better record and defeated the Cyclones 34-24 on Nov. 21, but Missouri coach Gary Pinkel remained positive about the team's bowl situation.
