The 2010 US Open begins tomorrow, which is always an exciting and eventful major. This years tournament is back in Pebble Beach, for the first time since 2000. That is the year where Tiger Woods truly proved to the world how dominant he would be for the next decade. This year’s tournament will garner a much different result, as there is no way Woods can deliver that stellar type of …

Video about the great Tiger Woods. I was a Tiger fan before the crash and I still am now. This is because my support of Tiger was first and foremost based on his ability to play golf. He is phenomenally talented and by far the most entertaining player to watch. However, I also liked Tiger because I believed he was a good person who wanted to make the world a better place. And I still believe both those things as well. People should be very careful when they start judging a guy who has given millions to charities and dedicated a great deal of time and effort to setting up his foundations. Tiger once said that golf is only an Extension with which he could use to touch peoples lives and he has proved this with his dedication to his foundation. Furthermore he has inspired millions of people from around the world simply with his golf. Tiger has given a lot to me just through his playing golf and Im sure that is the same for many other juniors around the world. So to conclude I hope Tiger can work things out for himself and I hope he will be back shortly. People are saying that Tiger will get heckled and have people shouting in his swing and Im sure there may be an element of this but if there is anyone who can cope with this stuff its Tiger. From my perspective, if Tiger could overcome this adversity and ignore what people try to do to him I think it would be truelly inspiring. Certainly I will still be supporting him all the way and I am sure there will be plenty like myself …

Filed under: Colts , NFL Police Blotter A 9mm handgun was confiscated from the SUV of former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison Wednesday, after he was stopped for driving the wrong way on a one-way street in North Philadelphia. According to the Philadelphia Daily News , Harrison, who has not played in the NFL since the 2008 season, was stopped by police Wednesday afternoon in North Philadelphia, and produced a permit for a gun that is registered at his home in suburban Philadelphia. Harrison, a Philadelphia native, did not tell police about the 9mm gun that was in the Cadillac Escalade, though, which he is required to do by law. The gun, according to the Daily News , is registered to another man, who lives in the city. Harrison, who was not charged with a crime, was allowed to leave. However, according to the Daily News , police asked Harrison to come in for additional questioning, but he refused the request, which he is permitted to do under the law.

Filed under: FIFA World Cup , Argentina , South Korea JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat trick in Argentina’s 4-1 win over South Korea at the World Cup on Thursday, a result that put the South Americans on the brink of qualifying for the next round from Group B. Higuain scored his first goal in the 33rd minute with a far post header after Nicolas Burdisso flicked on a cross from Maxi Rodriguez. He added two second-half goals – in the 76th and 80th minutes – to put the result beyond doubt. “I have to congratulate the players … everything they did worked out well,” Argentina coach Diego Maradona said. “I am very happy.” Argentina had gone ahead 1-0 in the 17th when Park Chu-young deflected a free kick from Lionel Messi into his own net, and looked to be comfortable after Higuain’s header. But South Korea pulled one back in first-half injury time when Lee Chung-yong pounced on a defensive mistake by defender Martin Demichelis. Argentina now leads Group B with six points from two games, while South Korea, which beat Greece 2-0 in its opening match, has three.

Dutch court extends supervision order for Laura Dekker, who is a ward of the state, amid concerns for her safety A Dutch court has extended a supervision order on a 14-year-old girl, further delaying her quest to become the latest and youngest teenager to sail solo around the world. Laura Dekker was made a ward of the state last year amid concerns that her plan to set sail aboard her small yacht would endanger her physical and social welfare. She was 13 at the time. The decision comes after 16-year-old Abby Sunderland had to be rescued in the Indian Ocean after a similar attempt last week, prompting widespread criticism of her parents for allowing her to undertake such a dangerous journey alone. Sunderland’s voyage ended when waves snapped her mast, prompting a 20-hour international rescue operation. In Holland, Dekker has taken on an intense period of training to try to convince the authorities she is capable of completing the journey, her lawyer Peter de Lange told the court. She has passed a first aid diploma, become accustomed to lack of sleep and arranged to do schoolwork online. But the court in the southern Dutch city of Middelburg ruled that she should remain under state supervision for at least another month. Social workers had asked for a two-month extension of the order. Under the conditions of the ruling, Dekker has been allowed to live at home but her parents have had to consult child protection authorities about all major decisions. Dekker lives with her father, who is encouraging her record-breaking plans, while her mother has objected. The couple are separated. Last December, out of apparent frustration at the court order, Dekker fled alone to the Dutch Caribbean island of St Maarten. When she returned two days later, she was interviewed by the police. The unofficial record for the youngest round-the-world sailor belongs to 16-year-old Australian Jessica Watson , who completed her voyage last month. Netherlands Sailing Matthew Weaver guardian.co.uk

• Former Cagliari manager released from his contract • Milan indicated last week that Allegri was choice as new coach Cagliari have announced they have released Massimiliano Allegri from his contract “following a request from AC Milan”, leaving him free to take over the reins of the Serie A giants. Allegri was relieved of his duties at Cagliari in April but remained contracted to the Sardinian club until 2011. The Milan vice-president, Adriano Galliani, confirmed last week they would name Allegri as their new coach as soon as they got the green light from Cagliari. A statement on the Cagliari website read: “Despite the bitterness and disappointment left to us by the lack of interest shown by coach Massimiliano Allegri at the end of the championship, following a request by the AC Milan president, Massimo Cellino [the Cagliari chairman] decided to release him. “Even having made him available to Milan, Cagliari have not requested any financial compensation, given the impossibility of quantifying the value of feelings. “The only positive note is that the end of the relationship with Allegri allows us to draw a definitive line under it and we can dedicate ourselves to the future of Cagliari through the choice of a new coach.” The Rossoneri have been looking for a new coach since Leonardo parted company with the club after just one season in charge. Allegri is regarded as one of the country’s finest young managers, and the 42-year-old was voted the best coach of the 2008-09 season ahead of the former Inter manager, José Mourinho.

How does this world cup compare to previous tournaments? Take a look at the data • Get the data Well, we’re at the end of the group stage of World Cup 2010 and what have we learnt so far? Opta (this is their Twitter feed ), which covers 30 different sports in around 70 countries, has agreed to let the Datablog publish the complete statistical analysisall the games so far in the tournament. Owen Gibson writes today that “At the end of Spain’s shock defeat by Switzerland, which may actually prove to be the moment at which the tournament caught fire, there had been a total of 1.56 goals per game.” Opta’s statistics, which measure the opening round of games against the same stage at the last three World Cups, show that the goal per game ratio compares poorly. In Germany in 2006, it was 2.44, in Japan-South Korea in 2002 it was 2.88 and at France 98 it was 2.31 … Opta’s figures show that the number of shots in each game is about 10% down on 2006. They also show that the goals-to-shots ratio, at 7.9%, is also well down. In the past three tournaments, it never went below 10.8% in the opening round of matches. Shooting accuracy – the ratio of shots to efforts on target – is 33% at this World Cup so far, compared with 40% at the same stage in Germany, 43% in Japan-South Korea and 41% in France.
