PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
Cheap Authentic Jordans From China . -- A
weekend filled with sharp words between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia came down
to one last showdown Sunday in The Players Championship, this one staged across
the water in a tiny, terrifying section of the TPC Sawgrass. Tied for the lead
with two holes to play, Woods kept his shots on land and made two pars. Garcia
hit three balls into the water for a quadruple bogey-double bogey finish. If
there was special satisfaction in beating Garcia again, Woods kept that to
himself. What mattered was having a chance to win, closing it out like he does
so often, and capturing the richest prize on the PGA Tour for the first time in
a dozen years. "We just go out there and play," Woods said. "I had an
opportunity to win the golf tournament when I was tied for the lead today, and I
thought I handled the situation well and really played well today when I really
needed to. And thats something Im excited about it." Woods allowed the final
hour to turn into a tense duel by hooking his tee shot into the water on the
14th hole for double bogey. But his short game bailed him out to save par on the
15th and make a critical birdie on the 16th, and he was solid on the final two
holes for a 2-under 70. If only it were that simple for the Spaniard. Garcia was
standing on the 17th tee shot, staring across to the island green to watch Woods
make his par. He took aim at the flag with his wedge and hung his head when he
saw the ball splashed down short of the green. Then, Garcia hit another one in
the water on his way to a quadruple-bogey 7. The meltdown was complete when
Garcia hit his tee shot into the water on the 18th. "Its always nice to have a
chance at beating the No. 1 player in the world, but unfortunately for me, I
wasnt able to this week," Garcia said. Woods was in the scoring trailer when he
watched on TV as Swedish rookie David Lingmerth missed a long birdie putt that
would have forced a playoff. It raced by the cup, and Lingmerth three-putted for
bogey. "How about that?" Woods said to his caddie, Joe LaCava as he gave him a
hug. Woods finished on 13-under 275. He won The Players for the first time since
2001 and became the fifth multiple winner at Sawgrass since The Players moved to
this former swamp in 1982. It was his 78th career win on the PGA Tour, four
short of the record held by Sam Snead. And it was his first time winning with
his girlfriend, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, at the tournament. Lingmerth
closed with a 72 and finished two shots behind along with Kevin Streelman (67)
and Jeff Maggert, who also was tied for the lead until finding the water on the
17th to make double bogey. The 49-year-old Maggert birdied the 18th for a 70.
Garcia took 13 shots to cover the final two holes -- 6-over par -- and tumbled
into a tie for eighth. There was a four-way tie for the lead after Woods made
his double bogey, and the infamous 17th green took out Maggert and Garcia. After
Garcia went into the water twice, Lingmerth missed an 8-foot birdie putt that
would have tied him for the lead. Given their public sniping at each other over
the weekend, it was only fitting that Garcia had the best chance to beat Woods.
Their dispute started Saturday when Garcia complained in a TV interview that his
shot from the par-5 second fairway was disrupted by cheers from the crowd around
Woods, who was some 50 yards away in the trees and fired them up by taking a
fairway metal out of his bag. He said Woods should have been paying attention,
and it became a war of the words the next two days. "Not real surprising that
hes complaining about something," Woods said. "At least Im true to myself,"
Garcia retorted. "I know what Im doing, and he can do whatever he wants." When
they finished the storm-delayed third round Sunday morning, Garcia kept at it,
saying that Woods is "not the nicest guy on tour." Woods had the last laugh. He
had the trophy. Garcia, when asked if he would have changed anything about the
flap with Woods, replied, "It sounds like I was the bad guy here. I was the
victim. I dont have any regrets of anything." The real villain was the infamous
17th hole. "When youve got water in front of the green, thats not a good time to
be short of the green. You know, it was close," Maggert said. "What can I say? A
wrong shot at the wrong time and you get penalized on this golf course." It was
at the 17th hole five years ago where Garcia won The Players Championship, when
Paul Goydos hit into the water in a sudden-death playoff. This time, the island
green got its revenge on him. Garcia hit a wedge and felt he caught it just a
little bit thin, which is usually all it takes. "That hole has been good to me
for the most part," Garcia said. "Today, it wasnt. Thats the way it is. Thats
the kind of hole it is. Youve got to love it for what it is." Woods earned $1.71
million, pushing his season total to over $5.8 million in just seven
tournaments. This is the 12th season he has won at least four times -- that used
to be the standard of a great year before he joined the PGA Tour in 1996 -- and
this was the quickest he has reached four wins in a year. It was the second time
has won on Mothers Day. "Sorry, Mom," he said into the camera. "I think she
might have had a heart attack. I was in control of the tournament, and I just
hit the worst shot I could possibly hit." Typical of Woods these days, there
were questions about where he took the drop -- some 255 yards from the hole. NBC
Sports analyst Johnny Miller suggested it was a "borderline" where he took the
drop. But Mark Russell, vice-president of competition for the PGA Tour, said
there was nothing wrong with the drop. Woods conferred with Casey Wittenberg,
who said there was "no doubt" that Woods took the drop in the right spot. "He
asked me exactly where it crossed," Wittenberg said. "I told him I thought it
crossed on the corner of the bunker, right where he took his drop. And its all
good." Woods wound up with a double bogey, and he nearly fell out of the lead on
the 15th until he saved par with an 8-foot putt. "The shot that turned the tide
was the putt on 15," Woods said. "To go double bogey-bogey would have been huge.
But to save a putt there and get some momentum going to the next three holes was
big." Woods and Garcia played four tension-free holes Sunday morning to complete
the third round, and they shook hands without words when they finished -- Woods
with a 71, Garcia with a 72 to share the 54-hole lead with Lingmerth. With a
three-way tie, Garcia wound up in the final group because he was first to play
at the start of the third round. Garcia, however, continued to fuel the bad
feelings between them. He told Sky Sports, "Im not going to lie, hes not my
favourite guy to play with. Hes not the nicest guy on tour." And then he told
Golf Channel, "We dont enjoy each others company. You dont need to be a rocket
engineer to figure that out." Woods downplayed the episode and said it didnt
matter who joined him on the tee. "Im tied for the lead, so Im right there." And
thats where he usually wins. Woods now is 53-4 in his PGA Tour career when he
has at least a share of the lead going into the final round.

who is slated to start here on Saturday against the Washington Nationals.The
veteran right-hander has perhaps discovered the fountain of youth as he took a
no-hitter into the seventh inning of his start on Sunday against the San
Francisco Giants. It was his first appearance with the Padres this season after
he was signed by the team last month.I was able to mix it up, Jackson said
Friday, standing in the San Diego clubhouse. I didnt feel like I came out of the
gates with my best stuff. I was able to get out of jams by keeping the ball
down. Anytime I can get some groundballs it is good for me.Jackson, who had a
5.91 ERA in eight games with the Miami Marlins earlier this year, pitched for
the Nationals in 2012 and has a 3.26 ERA in 20 games at Nationals Park in his
career.It is always fun to come back, especially after that run we had in 2012
with a division title, he said.He was 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA in 31 starts in his
one season in Washington.I dont know if I have an advantage or disadvantage,
Jackson said of facing his former team. At the end of the day it is about
execution. I know them, they know me. It is about getting the job done.One of
the new faces with the Nationals is infielder Daniel Murphy, who signed with the
team as a free agent after playing last season with the New York Mets.Murphy is
hitting .250 with a homer in 20 at-bats against Jackson. Another Washington
player with a track record against Jackson is reserve outfielder Chris Heisey,
who is hitting .091 in 11 at-bats.Jackson will be opposed by Washington
right-hander Max Scherzer, who has a 1.61 ERA with 81 strikeouts and 13 walks in
61 1/3 innings in his last nine starts.

Kemp to an average of .091 in 11 at-bats, though Kemp had two homers in a 5-3
win Friday.Scherzer may want to be careful with San Diego All-Star first baseman
Wil Myers, who has two homers and four hits in six at-bats against
Scherzer.Myers was not in the starting lineup Friday but first-year San Diego
manager Andy Green said he planned to have Myers start against Scherzer.Alexei
Ramirez has 42 at-bats in his career against Scherzer but an average of
.143.When the teams met in San Diego last month Scherzer did figure in the
decision in a 7-3 loss June 18 to the Padres. Scherzer went six innings in that
game and allowed one run.In his last start on Sunday, Scherzer allowed one run
and did not figure in the decision as the Nationals lost 2-1 to the Pittsburgh
Pirates in 18 innings. I am not going to beat myself up, Scherzer said after
that game.The Nationals won the first two games in San Diego last month then
lost the next two to begin a seven-game slide.They started us on our downhill,
seven-game losing streak, Washington manager Dusty Baker said. They are a
scrappy team. That is what I remember. Was it them or was it us?Besides Jackson
the Padres have two other pitchers with ties to the Nationals and another with a
tie to the region.Lefty reliever Matt Thornton pitched for Washington last year
and lefty Ryan Buchter was drafted in the 33rd round in 2005 by the Nationals.
San Diego right-hander Paul Clemens graduated from Robinson High in Fairfax,
Virginia, about 25 miles from the nations capital. ' ' '
