Woods Repeats at Masters
Tiger Woods
celebrates
another
Masters win.
Retief Goosen was playing for second.
Phil Mickelson was happy with third.
T iger W oods doesn’t ju st beat the
world’s best. He intimidates them.
Ifany furtherproofis needed, just listen
to those Woods beat on Sunday to win his
second straight Masters.
“Give him a couple more years and I
think Tiger will be even greater than Jack
Nicklaus,” Goosen said. “It’s ju st a matter

Blazers, who had beaten the Lak
ers once in three tries this season
- when Shaquille O 'N eal was hurt.
“W e’ve alw ays know n we
could play with them,” Blazer
Coach Maurice Cheeks said. “It
didn’t take this win to prove to me
about my team. I' ve always known
the type of team we have.”

round and was supposed to be able to
compete with him.
He couldn’t, and later admitted that he
played the back nine without any chance.
“After the front nine, I knew it was all
over for me,” Goosen said. “I just tried
really hard for second.”
Perhaps it was sim ple math. W oods
had won all six m ajor cham pionships he

(AP) - Bonzi Wells, scored 28
of his 33 points after halftime in
the Blazers’ 128-120double-over
time victory over the Los Angeles
Lakers Sunday.
Wells broke a 115-all tie early in
the second overtime by intercept
ing Kobe Bryant’s pass and dunk
ing the ball.
“It was one of those games,”
W ells said. “We had to pace our
selves and know we could beat
them. We just never gave up.”

“T he K enyans are very
happy. Last year, 1 was not
