Someone asked Funk if a journeyman with a reputation for not being able to hit the ball out his shadow (136th in driving distance at 2752 yards) can really win the PGA Championship “I’m playing good right now putting well scoring” es j TV V AP photo Lightning strikes near the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska Minn on Friday forcing the suspension of play for the day at the PGA Championship Forty-tw-o players were unable to complete the second round and will finish up this morning AL Continued from B2 beat Chicago Funk said “If I continue to do that yeah I can sneak in one od this kind of golf course if all the stars line up” The stars already are lining up behind him That includes Woods The winner of the Masters and US Open Woods swiftly moved into contention with a their fourth in his last six starts Lidle allowed five hits to win his third straight outing 'He outpitched Mark Buehrle (15-who gave up just five hits in eight innings but lost to Oakland for the second time this

from the foul line to seal the win “We knew they would make their run” Utah coach Candi Harvey said “We withstood it and I’m proud of our team” The' Comets couldn’t offset a first-ha- lf stretch where they missed 17 straight field goals “I don’t believe I’ve had a team miss that many shots since I coached eighth grade basketball in Mississippi” said Houston coach Van Chancellor a ar coaching veteran “You can’t miss 17 points after halftime leading the comeback Tina Thompson scored 13 points but missed a with a minute to go that would have pulled Houston Continued from Bl quick to her right She abused defenders who tried to guard her alone and worked angles better than a high school math teacher “Adrienne was wonderful right from the beginning” Startz coach Candi Harvey said “She did what she does every game she brings her eneigy She attacked the basket and did a great job in tran- sition” In die first half Goodson Williams drove in four runs to help the Yankees win their fifth in a row and pull seven games ahead of Boston in the AL East 63-6- 17-poi- nt 2 The Comets held opponents to 375 percent shooting this season best in the WNBA But the Starzz seemed to make just about' anything they put up in the first half shooting 68 percent at one point Chancellor was asked to identify Houston’s first-ha- lf defensive trouble: “Guarding them all hard to sag off of anybody” he said “They can all score ’ They all drove to the hole They just sliced and diced in the first half Unbelievable Give them credit” Notes: Chancellor was assessed a tech- nical foul early in the second half arguing calls as the Comets faced their deficit Attendance was 6693 a disappointing showing considering franchise contract js up Utah's three-ye' ' In the WNBA’s six years for renewal the Comets are 17-- 5 against Utah but the Houston Starzz have won two straight shot 29 percent nt ar three consecutive possessions Yet as close at die Comets came to an amazing comeback win you kind of got the feeling Goodson just wouldn’t allow Utah to lose this one You see the one area she does shoiV her age is in her demeanor She’s the ultimate cool customer a James Dean in high- top sneakers She leads not necessarily by words but by ence comes the knowledge to understand his team wouldn’t have come within 20 points of the Starzz if schemes didn’t change a little So out came the zone which Utah struggled with ' mightily They watched what lead whittled was a down to two with a little less than three minutes remaining Houston had opportunities to tie but failed to hit rim on Utah leaders 2) within 1 ts allowed six Lackey (5-hits struck out three and ' walked one before handing a that-we'r- 38-ye- 6-- 14 race shots in a row and beat anybody” Azzi had 10 for the Starzz who were swept by Sacramento in their first playoff trip last year Goodson finished from the field but she was more con- cemed about traveling to Houston for Game 2 on Sunday “It’s about surviving their runs Houston is a great team” Goodson said “Even when they’re playing bad they’re a great team I’m not going to get too excited about this” The Comets won 13 straight at home over one stretch this season “We did a good job coming back” Swoopes said “If there's any one thing we can take away from this it’s going back home” Janeth Arcain scored 10 of her 16 Starzz lead tp the bullpen Yankees 9 Mariners 3 At Seattle Bemie Williams to give him hits went in 10 straight as New York beat Seattle in the opener of a series between division 5-- who The Angels (73-4franchise-wor- st a to off got start are 25

month Lidle (6-pitched seven stereo salesman "I'm still new to the ballgame I'd like to find out how good I can get” The usual contenders were nowhere to be found Phil Mickelson made double bogey on his final hole for a 72 and narrowly made the cut although he'll likely spend the next eight months contemplating another year gone by without a major example 'And she’s the biggest reason why Utah has a chance at upending the mighty Comets “Adrienne was huge for us tonight” teammate Marie Ferdinand said “She got us going by attacking and I think we followed her The way she was playing made us want to be aggressive” Nice to have something you can count on Valloy briefs MC alumni cross country meet The Mountain Crest cross country alumni meet will be held Friday Aug 23 at 6 pm The meet will
