Nationals. San Diego right-hander Paul Clemens g

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. Cheap Jordans Authentic Website .

WASHINGTON -- Nationals Park is very familiar to San Diegos Edwin Jackson, 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. Cheap Authentic Jordans For Sale. He has held San Diego outfielder Matt 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. ' ' '
