For just the second time in his professional career, Woods failed to break 80. The missed cut was just the 13th time worldwide that he failed to qualify for… Read more.
I took a lot of flak for my commentary “Lone Wolf Terrorizes Australia,” December 15, 2014. This excerpt might explain why. ___________________ The “Breaking News” is that police stormed the café after nearly 17 hours of futile negotiations.
