(AP) — Tiger Woods finally confirmed Friday
what everybody’s known for the last three days: He
married Swedish nanny Elin Nordegren in Barbados.
“There certainly has been a lot of speculation about
my personal life, which is why Elin and , wanted to
confirm that we got married on Tuesday," Woods said
on his Web site. "Elin and I celebrated this wonderful
occasion with our close friends and family, and we
look forward to starting our new life together.”
Woods canceled an appearance Sunday in Or
lando, Fla., where he was to meet with winners of the
Buiek Scramble, the world's largest amateur event.
Woods has an endorsement deal with Buiek.
He is expected to return to the PGA.

Vikings Shut-out Sacramento State
Portland State’s defense never
rested. Needing a Big Sky Confer
ence win in a big way, the Viking
football team - led by its defense -
left little doubt as to the better team.
PSU defeated Sacramento State on
the road, 31 -0.
The Viking defense held the
Hornets to just 53 yards of offense
in the first half, and maintained that
intensity in the second half. The
shutout was PSU’s second in five
games. It marked the first time since
1992 that the Vikings have had two
shutouts in one year.
It was a special night for Head
Coach Tim Walsh as he captured
the 100th win of his collegiate
coaching career - 73 of which have
come at Portland State. Walsh, a
native Californian, earned the win
in front of several hundred family
and friends in Sacramento. It was
the seventh shutout in his 12 sea
sons at PSU.
Portland State improved to 3-2
on the season, 1-1 in the Big Sky.
