    Tiger Woods: ‘No’ smoothing over Sergio Garcia flap

    By Joseph White - Associated Press

    Hardly the best of the friends, the Woods-Garcia relationship hit petty proportions during this month’s Players Championship over a dispute as to whether Woods inadvertently or maliciously — or somewhere in between — disrupted the Spaniard’s swing when they were paired together during the tournament’s third round.

    Tiger Woods trumps Sergio Garcia, wins Players Championship

    By Doug Ferguson - Associated Press

    Woods ended a weekend of verbal sparring with Garcia by doing what he does best — closing out tournaments, even if he let this one turn into a tense duel over the final hour at the TPC Sawgrass. Tied with Garcia with two holes to play, Woods won by finding land on the last two holes for par to close with a 2-under 70. If only it were that simple for the Spaniard.
