sion: 6 speed Automatic w/adaptive shift
logic and winter mode
The Volvo XC90 V8 debut in March of
2005, XC90 was introduced in 2002 as the
"Next Generation SU V ." Yamaha, a com ­
pany known for its marine engines reliabil­
ity, built the V8 engine. This is the first V8
engine for Volvo in its history, founded in
1927, as well as the first launch of a petrol
V8 meeting ULEVII (Ultra Low Emission
Vehicle, Stage II).
The Volvo XC90 seats seven, with a
roomy, versatile interior that boasts more
cargo space than other vehicles in this
class. The XC90 offers a comfortable ride
and handles well on streets and highways.
It offers most of the bells and whistles, and
in base trim it’s competitively priced. The
V8 base price starts at $43,395.
The V8 adds ventilated disc brakes
instead of the solid rotors on the other
models, self-leveling rear suspension, a
third-row seat with air conditioning, rear
audio system with head phones and color-
coordinated body trim. XC90 VScombines
the world’s first all-wheel drive with in­
stant traction, the package delivers en­
hanced grip on all surfaces.
The Volvo reinforces its position as
one of the most successful SUV models;
with the V8 they further broaden the cus­
tomer base. It has a sporty yet sophisti­
cated appearance. Volvo has yet to fall
short on the safety for its passengers, with
the XC90 V8 it was important the Volvo
still have a transverse engine to help main­
tain the frontal crumple zone.

Woods’ Incredible Finish
Dedicates Masters
win to his father
(AP) — Tiger Woods thrust a fist in the air,
let out a scream and headed off to hug family
and friends huddled around the 18th green at
Augusta National.
Yes, order is restored in the world of golf.
W oodsisam ajorcham pionagain,andN o. 1 in
the world, too, making Masters magic instead
of swing changes, and back to chasing Jack
Nicklaus’ record.
But someone important was missing from
this fourth Masters victory - the man who
steered a toddler to set of a golf clubs, molded
his swing, toyed with his mind, instilled a love
for the game.
As W oods collected another green jacket,
he couldn’t help but think of his dad. And
that’s when Tiger, all grown up now, did some­
thing unusual Sunday.
He cried.
“I want to dedicate this to my father,” Woods
said, his eyes filling with tears. “I could feel him
out there with me on the course.”
Earl Woods, who has suffered from cancer
and heart problems, didn’t feel well enough to
leave his hotel room. But he surely was watch­
ing on television, and surely proud of what he
saw.
After surging to the lead with seven straight
birdies in the weather-delayed third round, and
after finishing up on the dew-covered grass of
morning, Woods pulled o ff a shot for the ages
in the fading sunlight of afternoon.
Then, he made the most important stroke of
all: a 15-foot birdie on the first playoff hole to
beat gritty Chris DiMarco.
Woods was clinging to a one-stroke lead
and on the ropes when his tee shot at the par-
3 16th hole sailed long. DiMarco was safely on
the green and facing a 15-footer for birdie.
Woods played his chip up the slope and
watched it trickle toward the flag. The ball
dipped slightly to the right, wobbled back to
the left and stopped at the edge. Hanging there
for two full seconds before finally toppling into
the cup.
Sarazen’s double eagle, meet W oods’ im­
probable birdie.
“I would rank that as one of the best ones
I’ve ever hit,” Woods said. “It turned things
around. It was pretty huge.”
DiM arco mumbled “nice shot” toward
Woods, then missed his own birdie attempt.

(AP) — Mike Tyson
talked about sinking into
depression, referred to
himself as “Mr. Mom,” and
called his next opponent
“real cute.”
Yes, The Mike Tyson
Show is headed to the
nation’scapital. The former Former heavyweight boxing cham­
heavyw eight cham pion pion Mike Tyson gestures during a

h e ’ll fight journeym an ing his next fight. (AP photo)
Kevin McBride on June 11
at the MCI Center - Tyson’s first bout in nearly a year.
“I just hope these people of Washington, D.C., are prepared to
handle this,” Tyson said. “It’s going to be a train wreck.”
The 38-year-old Tyson, 50-5 with two no contests and 44 knock­
outs, lost two o f his last three fights. In his most recent outing, in
Louisville on July 30. he was stopped in the fourth round by Danny
W illiams after tearing cartilage in his left knee.
He had surgery - the knee is fine, Tyson said Tuesday - and h e's
been training in Phoenix for three weeks.

the 18th hole during final round play o f the tournament at the Augusta National Golf
Club in Augusta, Ga., Sunday. (AP photo)
The Masters, it seemed, was over.
Not so fast.
The greatest closer in golf - W oods has
never blown a final-round lead in a major and
never squandered more than a one-stroke ad­
vantage on the last day o f any tournament -
made a mess of the final two holes.
His tee shot at 17 flew into the pines, leading
to bogey. Then he missed the fairway off the tee
at 18, pushed his second shot into a bunker and
failed to get up-and-down.
DiM arco’s approach rolled off the front of
the 18th green, but he nearly won the tourna­
ment with an amazing chip of his own. From 40
feet, he caught the right edge of the cup, his ball
spinning around the flagpole before winding
up 6 feet away.
For the playoff, the two returned to the 18th
tee to do it all over again. This time. Woods
came up with two o f his best shots o f the day
under stifling pressure.
The winning putt slid into the com er of the
cup, giving Woods his ninth major champion­
ship at age 29.
