Golfer Phil Mickelson has suspended his season indefinitely after his wife, Amy, has been diagnosed with breast cancer, it was announced Wednesday morning. Amy is expected to have "major" surgery, possibly within two weeks.

Ji Young Oh doesn't have the flash, the length or the following of Michelle Wie, but just one year older, she now has her second career victory. The 20-year-old South Korean pulled away to a four-shot victory at the Sybase Classic.

David Wells said MLB should give harsher bans than the 50-game bans currently handed out to players who test positive for banned substances. He also had choice words for former teammate Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez.

Tiger Woods gets grief because has hasn't won in a month. Michelle Wie hasn't won anything since 2003 (the U.S. Women's Amateur Publinx). Maybe it changes Sunday. All she has to do is make some putts.

Her tee-to-green game was beautiful to watch. Michelle Wie was consistently hammering tee shots to 280-plus yards Friday and routinely giving herself great looks at birdies. Her putting? Does the name Orville Moody ring a bell?

Michelle Wie's still the main attraction at this week's Sybase Classic, even though Lorena Ochoa is trying to win this event for the 4th straight time. And that's OK with the players now that Wie played her way onto the LPGA Tour.

The LPGA keeps losing tournaments in these tough economic times and, yes, the players are worried about the future of women's golf. The LPGA had already lost three tournaments before the year started, including the LPGA Ginn Open.

About the most news Henrik Stenson had made lately was when he stripped down to his skivvies to hit one out of the water at Doral. Sunday, the steady Swede undressed the field - including Tiger Woods - to win The Players Championship.

CBS SPORTS GOLF ANALYST David Feherty apologized yesterday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for joking that G.I.s would like to see them dead.

Tiger Woods finished his round two hours before the leaders by birdieing two of the last three holes to post a 2-under 70 Saturday. He is in a six-way tie for second place, where he trails leader Alex Cejka (70, 11-under 205) by five.

Several players challenged for the lead then ultimately stumbled on the back nine Saturday, but no one had a more painful trip than Kevin Na. When the dust cleared, Na shot 2-over 74 and was tied for eighth, six shots back.

Phil Mickelson birdied his final hole Friday at The Players Championship, making the cut on the number. And even though he's 11 shots back, Lefty still believes he can win the tournament.

The midway point of The Players Championship has never been a good indicator of the final result. That's why Tiger Woods, who started to look like Tiger Woods on Friday, has to feel optimistic about his chances.

The jigsaw puzzle that has been Tiger Woods' season was scattered all over TPC Sawgrass at the Players Championship Thursday. Woods hit the ball great, putted lousy and ended up failing to take advantage of great scoring conditions.

Sergio Garcia was hoping good memories of last year's win here would turn his slump around. It looks as though he's going to have to dig back a little further. The man is down in the dumps.

Sergio Garcia comes to the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass trying to find his game. He is the defending champ - his playoff victory over Paul Goydos last year was the biggest win of his career.

After failing to take advantage of opportunities to win at both the Masters and Quail Hollow Championship, Woods turns his attention to the Players Championship this week, still waiting to "put all the pieces together."

Tiger Woods toyed with Bethpage en route to a three-shot, wire-to-wire victory over Phil Mickelson in claiming the 2002 Open. This time, he will defend the championship he took on one healthy leg at Torrey Pines in San Diego last year.

The beast that is Bethpage Black has been silent for nearly seven years since some of the loudest roars of any U.S. Open. Tiger Woods remembered Monday. "It was an unbelievable atmosphere," Woods said.
