He had planned a farewell news conference in Green Bay on Wednesday. The NFL’s all-time leading sacker, nicknamed the minister o f defense, said he would explain why he changed his mind at the news conference, which is still planned as scheduled. White had 11 sacks last year, giv ing him 176 1/2 for his 13-year ca reer. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for a record 12th consecutive time despite an ailing back that limited him to part-time duty, and a case of walking pneumonia the last month of the season. White helped lead the Packers to two consecutive Super Bowl appear ances, including the team’s 35-21 victory over New England in 1997. The team lost this yearto the Denver Broncos. A memberoftheNFL’s75th anni versary all-star team, he joined the Packers in 1993 for four years and $17 million after eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as the first big-name free agent to switch teams. White recently was criticized fora speech to Wisconsin lawmakers in which he spoke in racial stereotypes and assailed gay lifestyle. Irwin Wins 3rd Straight PGA Seniors For the past three years. Hale Irwin has done nothing less than dominate the PGA Seniors’ Championship. Hewas35 under par and averaged 6 9 .1 strokes for his last 12 rounds on the 6,722-yard Champion course at PGA National Golf Club. On Sun day, Irwin became the first man since World War II to capture three straight titles with a 2-under 70. Still, he does not want people to be misled by the numbers. “I think people look at it and say, ‘Well, it was a cake walk,'” he said. “It wasn’t. I played very, very well.” Irwin started his final round with a birdie and added two more at 6 and II for a 275 total and a seven-stroke victory over Larry Nelson, who had bo you w n t to a « « a closing 72. With Irwin’s commanding lead, there was little room for drama. “It was like two different tourna ments going on - it was seeing how well Hale would play and seeing who would finish second," Nelson said. Nelson and Gil Morgan provided the only true competition o f the day: A race for second place - which was worth $60,000 more than third - that lasted until the final putt on No. 18.
