Kent’s Dream Team
ready to play
Oregon men’s basketball head coach
Ernie Kent has been working hard with his
team this summer.
Kent’s summer team doesn’t have any
Ducks on it, however. It’s filled with Blue
Devils, Bruins, Eagles and Jayhawks.
The Oregon coach is an assistant coach
for the U.S.A. World Championship For
Young Men Team, which will compete at
the FIB A World Championship for Young
Men Tournament against teams from
around the world.
The U.S.A. team includes many big
name college players from around the
country, including Duke’s Chris Duhon
and Carlos Boozer, Kansas’ Nick Collison,
UCLA’s Jason Kapono and Boston Col
lege’s Troy Bell. The team is coached by
Syracuse legend Jim Boeheim.
The tournament is being held in Saita
ma, Japan. The U.S.A. squad will begin
competition against Croatia Friday and
continue through Aug. 12 if it can make
the medal games.

Woods, Sorenstam
defeat Duval, Webb
PALM DESERT, Calif. — The
best women players joined Tiger
Woods and David Duval in prime
time Monday and delivered an en
tertaining show — but hardly the
kind of golf anyone expected from
the foursome of major champi
onship winners.
Woods and Annika Sorenstam
rallied from 2-down with three
holes to play and won the "Battle at
Bighorn" against Duval and Karrie
Webb in 19 holes.
Sorenstam made a 10-foot birdie
putt on the 18th hole to continue
the alternate-shot match, and the
pair closed out the victory when
Webb hit into a bunker and Duval
missed a 12-foot par putt.
In a made-for-television event that
provided women's golf its largest au
dience ever, the outcome was more
cause for relief than celebration.
Both teams shot 4-over 76, al
though the conditions were brutal
with hot, blustery wind and brick
hard greens.
Woods and Sorenstam were each
forced to hit a shot left-handed in
the alternate-shot format. Duval
and Webb squandered a 2-up lead
with three holes to play. What
looked at times like a husband-wife
mixer at the club turned into a
grind under the lights.
When it was over, Woods and
Sorenstam shared $1.2 million
from the $1.7 million purse.
As with the previous two Mon
day Night Golf exhibitions, the only
success that really matters will be
the TV ratings that will be released
later this week.
Woods vs. Duval got a 6.9 rating
two years ago in the inaugural
event, while Sergio Garcia's 1-up
victory over Woods last year gar
nered a 7.6. Anything close to that
will represent the largest audience
to see women play golf.
"This is one of the biggest days in
LPGA history, if not the biggest day,
based on the number of eyeballs
that are going to be on our product,"
LPGA commissioner Ty Votaw said
a few hours before the match.
"Any time we have the same
number of eyeballs watching Tiger
Woods and David Duval as are
watching Karrie Webb and Annika
Sorenstam, it has to be an enor
mous platform for us to show 10
million viewers that we have good
golf on the LPGA Tour."
Webb and Sorenstam headed for
the airport for a charter flight to
England for the Women's British
Open, their final major of the sea
son. They gave up two days of prac
tice to give the LPGA an audience
like never before.
Only time will tell if it pays off.
Duval and Webb seized control
when Sorenstam's 25-foot birdie putt
on No. 14 rolled off the green and
onto the fairway, and they went 2-up
when Webb rifled a 3-iron into the
green on the 528-yard 15th hole.
That was one of the last few good
shots.
Needing a birdie on the 18th hole
to send the match to extra holes,
Sorenstam pushed her drive into
the right rough. Webb followed
with a tee shot into a bunker.
Woods saved the day with a
wedge to 10 feet, and Sorenstam
pumped her fist when her putt
dropped to send the match to over
time.
Sorenstam again went into the
rough, this time down the left side.
Webb took out a 3-wood and again
went into the bunker, only this time
Duval caught too much sand and
couldn’t reach the green.
Woods hit a high wedge to 40
feet, and Sorenstam nursed the putt
down to tap-in range. The final
stroke belonged to Woods.
