A big week of golf on 3 continents

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Joost Luiten better hope his decision to hit one shot at the BMW Masters doesn't keep him out of that other "Masters."
This is the last big week of tournaments around the world as players try to finish inside the top 50 to earn an invitation to Augusta National in April. Luiten is at No. 52 going into the Nedbank Challenge, but here's where it gets interesting.
Luiten had a sore shoulder in Shanghai. He had to play two of three "Final Series" events on the European Tour to be eligible for the finale in Dubai. So he chose to hit one shot off the first tee at Lake Malaren in the BMW Masters and withdraw. He rested his shoulder for two weeks, played Turkey and then tied for fourth in Dubai.
However, that added one tournament to his total in the world ranking formula. If he had not been required to play the BMW Masters, Luiten would be at No. 49.
Ultimately, however, his performance will dictate whether he gets into the Masters. Even though it's late in the year, the fields on three continents are packed with good players at the World Challenge in California, the Hong Kong Open and the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa.
The strongest field is in California, though it will have no bearing on the Masters because all 18 players at Sherwood are already eligible (and all of them are in the top 30).
Miguel Angel Jimenez (No. 48) is playing in Hong Kong, by far the weakest of the three fields. If he doesn't play well, the Spaniard risks being passed in the ranking by Richard Sterne (No. 51) or Luiten in South Africa. Also playing in South Africa are Gary Woodland (No. 57 but already in the Masters), Kiradech Aphibarnrat (No. 60) and Peter Uihlein (No. 67).
The final tournament of the year is the Nelson Mandela Invitational, though the field is expected to be weak. Among those expected to play are Branden Grace, currently at No. 50.
For the players who don't quite crack the top 50, Augusta National takes the top 50 one week before the Masters. Then again, Geoff Ogilvy missed the top 50 by one shot in Australia at the end of last year and went backward at the start of a new season.
WHEN GOLF GETS IN THE WAY OF FOOTBALL: Jason Dufner took to Twitter to ask tournament host Tiger Woods if the World Challenge could change to 36 holes on Thursday and Friday "so I can watch my beloved Auburn" play for the SEC Championship.
If nothing else, it got Woods to tweet something for the first time in a month: "Petition denied."
Auburn and Missouri play at 1 p.m. PST, so Dufner's best hope is to play so poorly in the opening two rounds that he's off the course by then.
Woods, who went to Stanford, has no such problem. The Cardinal and Arizona State play for the Pac-12 title at 4:45 p.m. PST, well after the third round is over. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (Hunter Mahan) goes after a Big 12 title when it plays Oklahoma at 9 a.m. PST.
ROOKIE STARS: One of the best rivalries in golf this year was not a rivalry except when measuring achievements on two tours.
Jordan Spieth started the PGA Tour season with no status and earned temporary membership, won the John Deere Classic, qualified for the Tour Championship, was picked for the Presidents Cup team and finished No. 7 in the FedEx Cup standings. It was the best rookie season on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods started with no status and won twice in his first seven tournaments in 1996.
Across the ocean, Hideki Matsuyama was equally impressive on the Japan Golf Tour.
The 21-year-old Japanese star didn't turn pro until April. He won four times this year, and his win last week in the Casio World Open made him the first rookie to win the Japanese money title with just more than $2 million. Matsuyama had a pair of top 10s in the majors (he tied for 19th in the PGA Championship), and he earned his PGA Tour card for the 2013-14 season. In his first tour event as a member, he tied for third in the Frys.com Open.
Spieth earned 184.432 ranking points this year and is No. 22 in the world. Matsuyama earned 157.47 points and is No. 23 in the world.
SEMINOLE JACK: Jack Nicklaus grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and won an NCAA title at Ohio State. He even dotted the "i" at a Buckeyes football game.
But as Nicklaus told the Palm Beach Post this week, "blood is thicker than anything else."
His grandson, Nick O'Leary, is the starting tight end for Florida State, and the top-ranked Seminoles could very well meet Ohio State if both teams win their conference championships on Saturday. Nicklaus said his allegiance would be with Florida State.
Maybe Nicklaus saw this coming.
He was at his alma mater at the start of the football season and told Ohio State coach Urban Meyer that he had already secured tickets to the title game in the Rose Bowl. Meyer cautioned Nicklaus not to jinx the Buckeyes, only for Nicklaus to tell him, "Urban, I bought the tickets for Florida State. I hope you get there."
THE CUPS RUNNETH OVER: Add a couple of more cups to the calendar.
Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain and Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand have been selected as playing captains for the inaugural EurAsia Cup. The team matches will be played March 27-29 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Among those expected to compete are Graeme McDowell, Jamie Donaldson and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.
It gives Europe team match competition in a Ryder Cup year.
Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin have been named honorary captains of the "Concession Cup," to be played May 1-3 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla. The matches are for leading mid-amateurs, senior amateurs and super senior amateurs from the United States against Britain & Ireland.
The club was named after the moment of sportsmanship at the 1969 Ryder Cup, when Nicklaus conceded Jacklin a short par putt for the event to end in a tie. The Americans retained the cup.
DIVOTS: Brandt Snedeker is being replaced in the Franklin Templeton Shootout field by Harris English. Snedeker hurt his left knee after losing his balance on a Segway in China, and is taking the rest of the year off as a precaution. He is expected to return at the Tournament of Championship at Kapalua the first week of January. ... The European Tour has appointed David Williams chairman of the board, replacing Neil Coles, who retired this year. ... The winners in golf over the last few weeks include Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Charl Schwartzel and Luke Donald. ... Steve Stricker is the only player from the top 10 in the world who has not won this year.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker are the only players from the top 25 in the world who are not playing this week.
FINAL WORD: "I have spent more time in the ice bucket than a bottle of Moet & Chandon over the last month." - Henrik Stenson, who has been coping with a wrist injury.

Woods closes chapter on California childhood

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Of all the memories from Tiger Woods' roots in Southern California, it's easy to overlook the time he made an appearance in the Tournament of Roses parade.
OK, so he wasn't the grand marshal. And he had just turned 18.
Woods, coming off his first U.S. Amateur title, rode on the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation float that required seven tons of flowers to build. He wasn't the only celebrity on the float on Jan. 2, 1995. Also riding were singer Lee Greenwood, Hall of Fame baseball player Joe Morgan and Olympic champion speedskater Cathy Turner.
The majestic float was toward the end of the order, trailed only by the Icelandic Horse Adventure Society and the International House of Pancakes.
For sure, there were far greater moments with a golf club in his hand.
Woods was only a toddler when he first went head-to-head with Sam Snead. It was only two holes, and Woods made bogey on both of them. Now, he is only four victories from breaking Snead's record for career PGA Tour victories.
Woods made his PGA Tour debut at Riviera in the 1992 Nissan Open when he was a 16-year-old junior in high school. He might have made the cut if not for a growth spurt during the week that made the shaft in his driver too short. More on that later.
He never won what he often referred to as his "hometown event" at Riviera. He made up for it by winning five times at Sherwood Country Club, and that doesn't include his win over David Duval at the illustrious "Showdown at Sherwood" in what amounted to Monday Night Golf.
Woods returns to Sherwood this week, in effect closing a chapter on golf in the area he always called home.
The Tiger Woods Learning Center, a superb complex that recently received a Golden Bell Award for excellence in education, remains his tie to Southern California. And the Tiger Woods Foundation headquarters will stay in Irvine.
But he stopped playing Riviera in 2006 after he narrowly made the cut. The only regular event in California that Woods still plays is in Torrey Pines, a two-hour drive from his hometown of Cypress in Orange County. The only time Los Angeles area golf fans could see him play was the World Challenge, a holiday event that attracts an 18-man field of players from the top 50 in the world.
This is the last year at Sherwood. Woods is moving the event to Isleworth, his old home in central Florida. Then, it could be headed to the Bahamas.
When he won the Canadian Open in 2000 with that 6-iron out of a bunker and over the water, his late father, Earl, said that day, "In every tournament, he'll hit shots that people will be talking about for 30 years."
One thing is certain - Woods leaves a trail of stories behind. Here are five from his time in Southern California.
Woods was just starting kindergarten when he was invited to join Snead at Calabasas Country Club just north of LA. They played two holes, starting with a par 3. Woods hit into a creek fronting the green, and Snead suggested he just pick it up and drop it.
"That kind of ticked me off, so I decided to play it out of the water," Woods once recalled. "I knocked it on the green and two-putted for my 4."
Woods missed his first seven cuts on the PGA Tour, starting with the 1992 Nissan Open in his debut at age 16. He opened with a 72 and was in reasonable shape to make the cut until what his father said was a growth spurt. Woods shot 75 the next day and headed back to high school.
"I was hitting the ball good the first few days of the week, but then I suddenly outgrew my club shaft," Woods said a year later.
His father said they didn't figure out what happened until the tournament was over.
"He was in a growth cycle, and those teenage muscles just grew overnight," Earl Woods said.
A beautiful afternoon off Sunset Boulevard turned nasty without warning, and Woods was on his back nine at Riviera without rain gear in 2006. He bogeyed two of his last three holes for a 74 to presumably miss the cut - until three more players dropped shots coming in and Woods made the cut on the number.
He was to be paired Saturday with J.B. Holmes, a big-hitting rookie who had just smashed his way to victory in Phoenix. The next morning, Woods was a no-show. He withdrew because of the flu, and he has not been back to Riviera since.
It was baking hot in August for the "Showdown at Sherwood" in 1999, a nationally televised exhibition against David Duval, who had returned to No. 1 in the world. Because it was not an official PGA Tour event, the caddies wore shorts.
A PGA Tour rules official ordered them to change into pants. Duval's caddie complied. Woods' caddie, Steve Williams, did not. The rules officials made it clear to Williams that if he did not change into trousers, it would be the last time he caddied on the PGA Tour.
Woods, listening to this conversation, interrupted by saying, "Guess I'll be playing in Europe next year."
Williams wore shorts. Woods won the match. And it wasn't long before shorts were approved for caddies on the PGA Tour.
Of the five wins at his World Challenge, none was more meaningful than in 2011. One shot behind with two to play, Woods birdied his last two holes to beat Zach Johnson. It was his first win since his personal life came crashing down, a span of 26 official tournaments over 749 days.
"If he steadily progresses, keeps getting confidence and moving forward," Jim Furyk said that day, "he's going to return and be one of the best players in the game again."
Woods won three times the following year, five times this year. For his swan song at Sherwood, he is No. 1 in the world.

Lewis, Feng to square off at Dubai Ladies Masters

Stacy Lewis vs. Shanshan Feng, Part II?
Lewis and Feng staged one of the most intense duels of this LPGA season when Feng defeated Lewis with an eagle at the final hole in an emotionally charged victory in Feng’s Chinese homeland at the Reignwood Classic two months ago.
They are the showcase players leading the field this week at the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, the Ladies European Tour’s season finale. Lewis is No. 3 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings, Feng No. 4. There are no other players among the top 40 in the world in the field this week.
While Feng electrified her highly partisan fellow countrymen winning the Reignwood Classic, Lewis drew the ire of some with her tweets afterward. She tweeted that she was “very disappointed in the fans in China” for cheering when she missed putts and for all the interference with camera clicks. After Feng got a fortunate bounce with her shot into the 18th, Lewis was quoted saying “I feel like it was just taken from me.” The Twitter backlash motivated Lewis to shut down her account the rest of the year.
Feng says she enjoys being paired with Lewis.
“I have played with Stacy quite a few times and know she is always very competitive,” Feng said. “”So, I’m really looking forward to playing with her again and having a great time, like we did in China.
“I don’t think we try to beat each other. We just want to bring out our A games and play our best.”
Feng won the CME Group Titleholders, the LPGA’s season finale, two weeks ago.
“Shanshan is really playing well right now, and I will definitely have to be on top of my game to beat her,” Lewis said.

Different caddie on the bag for Dufner at Tiger's event

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Jason Dufner has more worries this week than just the Auburn football game potentially conflicting with his Saturday tee time at the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge.
He’s also got a different caddie on the bag.
Dufner said his longtime looper Kevin Baile is suffering from a neck injury, so he isn’t caddying this week.
In his place is veteran caddie Adam Hayes, who has worked for Jonathan Byrd and Russell Henley in the past.
Dufner maintained that when Baile is healthy enough to return, he’ll still be his regular caddie.

C. Woods among those teeing it up at LPGA Q-School

Cheyenne Woods and Xiyu Lin will be among those looking to get their careers off to meaningful starts.
Birdie Kim, Lorie Kane, Louise Friberg and Seon Hwa Lee will be among veteran LPGA winners looking to get their careers going again.
They’re among 154 players from 27 nations scheduled to tee it up Wednesday in the start of the LPGA Q-School Finals in Daytona Beach, Fla. Twenty players will earn the equivalent of exempt status with Sunday’s conclusion of the 90-hole event at LPGA International. Players who finish 21st to 45th will earn the equivalent of conditional status. Everyone who makes the cut to the low 70 and ties is assured of at least Symetra Tour status.
Woods, niece to Tiger Woods, missed out at LPGA Q-School a year ago but is playing the Ladies European Tour as a rookie this year. She is 73rd in the LET’s Order of Merit and 10th on the Rookie of the Year points list. Lin is a promising 17-year-old pro from China who is also playing the LET as a rookie this year. She tied for 17th at the Ricoh Women’s British Open in August and tied for 23rd at the Reignwood Classic in October in the first LPGA event staged in mainland China.
Kim, 32, is working to find her champion’s form. She won the U.S. Women’s Open in 2005. Kane, Friberg and Lee are also all LPGA winners. Lee was the LPGA’s Rookie of the Year in ’06.

Kristopher Stiles is not the next Tiger Woods [but someday he might be just as good]



It's 4:30 a.m. in Lancaster, Calif., a desert town 70 miles north of Los Angeles. Metal bars cover the front doors of the houses along Avenue K4, and the only sign of life is a single light radiating from an open garage. Ten-year-old Kristopher Stiles emerges groggy-eyed, looking like a pint-size Tour professional: pressed beige slacks and white, long-sleeved Under Armour beneath a white polo. He clambers into the back of the family's Toyota Camry. A few steps behind, his dad, Kenji, lugs a Titleist tour bag and dumps it into the trunk. As the car rolls into the predawn darkness, Kenji cranks up "I'm Different," by the rapper 2 Chainz. Kris curls up under his Winnie-the-Pooh blanket and drifts off.

The snoozing youngster -- 4-foot-11, 100 pounds after a big meal -- learned to play golf at age 5 on the family's Nintendo Wii. By 6 he had traded the console for clubs and was playing real golf competitively, and successfully. According to Kenji, of the estimated 150 tournaments Kris has entered, he's won about a third of them. (He has the trophies and medals to prove it.) He claimed the California State title for his age division three years running, at 8, 9 and 10. YouTube videos of his long, fluid swing are mesmerizing.

This morning, for the second consecutive day, father and son are driving 90 miles to The Valley course at Moreno Valley Ranch for the Southern California PGA Junior Golf Tour's Bridgestone Spring Series Championship. As they veer into the parking lot, Kenji rouses Kris. The kid shuffles into the clubhouse, eats three bites of pancakes, and then heads out to the range to warm up for the final round. At 1 under par, he's in a familiar position: atop the leaderboard.

This is not a story about the next Tiger Woods. There will never be another Tiger Woods, just as there will never be another Arnold Palmer or Walter Hagen. However, there are parallels between Kris and 10-year-old Tiger, and the similarities go beyond the obvious fact that Kris is African-American. Kris lives just 90 minutes north of Cypress, the Los Angeles suburb in which Woods grew up. He plays many of the same junior events that Woods did. And he has impressed some of the same teachers and tournament officials whom Woods dazzled.

Jerry Herrera, the head professional at Azusa Greens C.C., just east of Los Angeles, and the president of the San Gabriel Junior Golf Program, had a front-row seat to Tiger's rise through the junior ranks. His take on Kris's swing? "Remarkable," says Herrera, who has analyzed Kris's technique on video. "The sound of the contact, the same repetitive motion with the shots he hits -- it's Tigeresque."

Lofty praise, though Kris doesn't exactly soak it up. "People want to compare him to Tiger all the time," Kenji says. "But Kris hates it."

Kris says he soured on Woods when he learned about the World No. 1's extramarital affairs on SportsCenter. When pressed to elaborate, Kris says it's "because of all the mistakes he's made, and messing with some of the women in his life." The youngster draws his inspiration from other sources. A framed picture of Martin Luther King Jr. hangs in his bedroom. Says Kris, "I think he inspired me to play golf because I knew that they wouldn't let colored people play."

Overt discrimination has largely vanished from the game, but 18 years after Woods's arrival on the PGA Tour, golf's elite ranks are still profoundly non-reflective of America's racial mix. Access is a roadblock. So are economics. "You can drop your kid off at a basketball court or a football field," says Kenji, 40, "but there's no free practice in golf."

Sixty dollars per month covers Kris's green fees at two local courses, and that's just the start of the golf expenses for Kenji and his wife La Trease, 40, a receptionist for a health-care provider. (Kenji stays at home to tend to Kris and his 6-year-old sister, Ashlie.) Cart fees are $14. Range balls run $6 to $9 per bucket. Two weekend tournaments cost about $100 in entry fees. Lessons are $75 a pop. That adds up to roughly $300 a month, which Kenji says he and La Trease can afford. Traveling to national events, though, can be a stretch. Kris has competed four times in the U.S. Kids Golf World Championships in Pinehurst, N.C., twice finishing in the top 10 and once in the top 20. But last year the Stiles family couldn't fit the Pinehurst trip into their budget.

Kris is too young to worry about money. He doesn't spend every waking hour sweating his swing, either. His favorite superhero is Spider-Man, his favorite video game is Madden NFL 13, and his idea of what he calls "chillin'" is watching Disney Channel's Crash & Bernstein while eating a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. Place a golf club in his hands, though, and he's all business.

"The toughest thing for me to remember is that he's 10," says Marshall Patterson, the director of instruction at Rancho Vista G.C. in Palmdale, Calif., who started coaching Kris when the prodigy was 5. "I don't think I've had a more serious kid. One day he hit this perfect shot, right down the line, and I said to him, 'You know you can smile, Kris,' and he says, 'I don't smile on the golf course, because every time I'm out here I want to treat it like a tournament.' So I say, 'How about this -- I won't smile, either. We'll do our work and when we get back and it's done, we'll smile.' He says, 'Deal.'"

The pact seems to be working. Kris won five of the nine tournaments he played on the SCPGA junior circuit last spring. Over the summer he defended his title at the U.S. Kids Golf California State Championship, winning the 10-year-old division by a cool six strokes.

To help with Kris's golf expenses, Kenji has mailed fund-raising requests to about 100 wealthy African-Americans he found online. His return thus far: $50, not enough to cover his postage costs. Kenji had more success raising $3,000 from family and friends to take Kris to compete at Pinehurst in 2012. "We got there the night before the tournament," he says. "But the kid who won got there a week early to play practice rounds." After the event, Kris's competitors invited him to hang out and play at the resort's pool. "He had a blast," Kenji says. "And then we drove back to Motel 6."

Miguel Angel Jimenez favourite to claim fourth Hong Kong Open title in nine years



Miguel Angel Jimenez starts a warm favourite this week to claim a fourth Hong Kong Open title in nine years.

The veteran Spaniard returns to Fanling as defending champion having edged out Sweden's Fredrik Andersson Hed by one shot last year to become the oldest-ever winner in European Tour history.

His defence appears to be aided by the fact many big names - including the likes of 2011 champion Rory McIlroy - will not be in the field given their commitments elsewhere, with the Nedbank Golf Challenge and the Tiger Woods' World Challenge event also taking place this week.

It means that, at 48th in the world, the ageless Andalusian enters the event as the highest-ranked player in the field.

However, Jimenez insists that a lack of star names does not necessarily mean it will prove any easier for him to notch another title.

"It's a pity we don't have more weeks in the year," stated the 49-year-old, before adding that the global schedule nowadays is "very, very tight".
Important

"It is very important for the tournament to have all the big names, but it's very tough when you have different tournaments in the same week.

"But does it make it easier... to win if the big players don't come? No. You need to always give 100 percent. It doesn't matter who's in the field."

Played over an old-fashioned, short par-70 track at Hong Kong GC renowned for its tight, tree-lined fairways, it is perhaps little surprise that Jimenez has enjoyed so much success there.

A man with a stellar track record at similar tests such as Valderrama and Wentworth, the 49-year-old has been in good form since returning from a skiing-induced injury in late April.

The likes of consistent Australian Marcus Fraser and Danish talent Thorbjorn Olesen are expected to prove the main threats to Jimenez this week, while past champions Padraig Harrington and Jose Maria Olazabal are also present.

Jimenez, though, looked towards the other end of the age spectrum when identifying possible contenders, picking out teenage Chinese prodigy Guan Tianlang as one to keep an eye on.

The 15-year-old became the youngest player in history to make the cut at The Masters earlier in the year and told reporters he was "very much looking forward" to the challenge this week.

'Minor issues' still troubling Stenson

Henrik Stenson heads into this week's Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa with some "minor" concerns over his injured wrist.
Although the Swede has produced some sensational golf during the final few months of the 2012/13 US PGA and European Tours that saw him win the lucrative FedEx Cup play-offs and Race to Dubai money list, he has had to battle through the pain to achieve his success.
His injury also forced him to miss the defence of his South African Open Championship title at Glendower Golf Club in the middle of November.
However, he will return to action at Sun City this weekend even though he has not recovered fully from the injury.
"I have had a specialist looking at it and there are still minor issues but I am hoping to be ok this week," he told europeantour.com.
"The 10 days' rest I had was really necessary and I will go and get another consultation on it during the early part of the Christmas break.
"I was able to play through the whole Final Series with it and it wasn't so much about physical pain hitting golf shots, it was more the inflammation afterwards and the fact I knew there was structural damage in there."
He added: "I had been putting a lot of pressure on the wrist for a whole month and was getting treatment every day, taking anti-inflammatory pills.
"I have spent more time in the ice bucket than a bottle of Moet and Chandon over the last month and I just had to rest it.
"Once you are in a bad cycle you can't just keep putting pressure on it because your body can't take that. That was the case for me - I had to listen to what my body was telling me."

Charl Schwartzel returns to world's top 20 on back of Alfred Dunhill Championship win

Charl Schwartzel has returned to the world's top 20 on the back of his four-shot victory at the Alfred Dunhill Championship over the weekend.
The 29-year-old secured the title for a third time as he emerged triumphant at Leopard Creek, defending the crown he won by 12 strokes last year.
The win came on the back of a top-four finish at the South Africa Open the week previously and sees Schwartzel rise three places to 18 in the latest round of world rankings.
Another climber is rising Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama who became the first rookie to clinch the Japanese Tour's money-list title after his fourth win of a stellar season at the Casio World Open.
The 21-year-old, who claimed top-10 finishes at both the US Open and Open Championship this season, defeated Yuta Ikeda by one shot to cap a memorable first campaign in the paid ranks.
Matsuyama started the year at 128 in the rankings, but has now moved up to 23rd in the latest world list.
World Rankings: 1 Tiger Woods (USA) 11.89pts, 2 Adam Scott (Aus) 10.13, 3 Henrik Stenson (Swe) 8.85, 4 Phil Mickelson (USA) 7.57, 5 Justin Rose (Eng) 7.50, 6 Rory McIlroy (NIrl) 6.86, 7 Matt Kuchar (USA) 6.27, 8 Steve Stricker (USA) 6.03, 9 Brandt Snedeker (USA) 5.63, 10 Jason Day (Aus) 5.41, 11 Jason Dufner (USA) 5.28, 12 Graeme McDowell (NIrl) 5.20, 13 Ian Poulter (Eng) 5.18, 14 Dustin Johnson (USA) 5.14, 15 Luke Donald (Eng) 4.91, 16 Zach Johnson (USA) 4.90, 17 Jim Furyk (USA) 4.74, 18 Charl Schwartzel (Rsa) 4.73, 19 Keegan Bradley (USA) 4.60, 20 Sergio Garcia (Spa) 4.39
