GOLF
Woods makes it
another sweep
HOUSTON (AP)—Tiger
Woods won the Vardon Trophy
on Sunday, the third consecutive
season he has had the lowest
scoring average on the PGA
Tour.
Woods also won the PGA
Tour money title for the third
straight season, making him the
first player since Tom Watson
from 1977-79 to sweep golf’s
two biggest indicators for three
straight years.
“It wasn’t quite as good as
last year, but it was still a pretty
dam good year,” Woods said
after finishing the Tour
Championship in a tie for 13th.
Woods was coming off a
record-setting season, winning
12 times around the world —
nine of those on the PGA Tour
— including three straight
majors.
He set the record for the
adjusting scoring average at
68.17, and won the Vardon
Trophy this year with an aver-
age adjusted score of 68.81.
Davis Love III was second at
69.06.
Woods won the money title
with nearly $5.7 million, down
from $9.1 million last year.
“When I won 12 times
around the world... it’s
hard to duplicate,” Woods said.
Still, he had few complaints.
Woods won five times on the
PGA Tour, twice more than
anyone else. He went five tour-
naments without winning — die
longest he has gone to start a .
season in his professional career
— but then won three straight.
The last of those was the
biggest, a two-shot victory at
the Masters that made him the
first player to win four straight
professional majors.
“I had a chance to do some-
thing no one has ever done
before in our sport, and I some-
how was able to pull it off,”
Woods said. “That’s something
I’ll always remember. This year
has been a successful year.”
Woods had only one top-10
finish since early June, winning
the NEC Invitational at
Firestone in a seven-hole play-
off over Jim Furyk.
He already has clinched the
PGA of America’s player of the
year award, which is based on
points for victories, money
earned and scoring average. He
is a big favorite to win the PGA
Tour’s award, which is decided
by a vote of the players.
The tour’s other awards also
will be voted on later this
month.
Leading candidates for rookie
of the year include U.S. Open
champion Retief Goosen, two-
time winner Jose Coceres of ...
Argentina and Charles Howell,
who began the season with no
status and nearly earned enough
money to qualify for the Tour
Championship.
The comeback player of the
year figures to be a choice
between Bernhard Langer, who
qualified for the Tour
Championship for the first time
since its inception in 1987, and,
John Daly, who had four top-
10s this year and won nearly as
much money as his past five______
years combined.
Another dazzling end
ofthe year for Weir
HOUSTON (AP) —
— In a thrilling conclusion to
the season, Mike Weir won the
Tour Championship on Sunday
by making a 5-foot birdie putt
on the first extra hole of a four-
man playoff, giving him.his
first victory of the year.
“What a fantastic day,m
unbelievable finish to the year,”
Weir said.

PHOENIX (AP) — Curt Schilling and Randy
Johnson are linked in history now: World Series
champions and qo-MVPs.
Of course they go together. The Arizona
Diamondbacks wouldn’t have won without them
w The pitchers were voted co-Most Valuable
Players for the Series on Sunday night following a
stunning 3-2 comeback win in Game 7 that
Schilling started and Johnson finished.
One is right-handed. One is left-handed.
One is loud. One is quiet.
They both win.
Not just win, but dominate.
Schilling won Game 1, setting the tone. Johnson
won Games 2, 6 and 7, becoming the first pitcher
with three Series wins since Detroit’s Mickey
Lolich in 1968- *
The brash Schilling guaranteed Arizona would
win the World Series, only he thought he would be
the one to lead the Diamondbacks to victory, not
his teammate.
“I didn’t say how we’d win it, just that we’d win
it,” Schilling said. “ThiSis a fitting end to this sea-
son.”
The Big Unit made sure it happened. And then
he started talking away, sounding a little like his
mound mate.
“I’m probably talking more now than I ever ’
■ have” Johnson said.
Koufax and Drysdale.
Spahn and Sain.
And now Schilling and Johnson.
“This is one of those things that’s going to take a
long time to absorb,” Schilling said. “Euphoric
would be the beginning of my description.”
It’s only the second time in Series history the
MVP award was split, the other when Ron Cey,
Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager shared it for the
Los Angeles Dodgers when they beat the Yankees
in 1981.
Pitching on three days’ rest for the second time in .
the Series and the second time in his career,
Schilling held down the Yankees for 7 1-3 innings,
but he was trailing 2-1 after Alfonso Soriano’s
eighth-inning homer.
After a single by David Justice, that was it for
Schilling, who threw 103 pitches.
After Miguel Batista got Derek Jeter to hit into a
forceout, Arizona turned it over to Johnson, who
threw 101 pitches in Saturday’s 15-2 blowout.
Tired? , ,
Noway.
Johnson was good for 17 more.
He retired Chuck Knoblauch, Bemie Williams,
Tino Martinez and Jorge Posada in order, keeping
Arizona in the game.
And then came the stunning ninth against Rivera.
“I just stood on the top of the bench hoping we
could string some things together,” Johnson said.
Schilling was 22-6 during the regular season,
Johnson 21-6.
Those aren’t the big "numbers’for them. The num-
bers that matter are one and two.
One title.
Two rings.
Two pitchers, forever linked.
Bears’ late heroics leave
Browns stunned, 27-21
CHICAGO (AP) — Mike
Brown returned an interception
16 yards for a game-winning
touchdown for the second
straight week, giving the Bears
(6-1) their sixth straight win.
Trailing 21-7, the Bears
scored two touchdowns in the
final 28 seconds of regulation.
James Allen caught a 34-yard
pass from Shane Matthews that
•the Browns (4-3) tried to bat
down in the end zone on the
final play.-
Chicago, which beat the 49ers
37-31 in
on Brown’s 33-yard interception
return after trailing by 19 points
in the second half, couldn’t
move in overtime. Brad
Maynard’s 52-yard punt pinned
the Browns (4-3) at their 12.
On second down, Couch’s
pass was tipped by Bryan
Robinson, and Brown was there
again, carrying the ball 16 yards
to the end zone and then all the
way out of the stadium,
Matthews’ 9-yard pass to
Marty Booker with 28 seconds
left preceded Bobby Howard
Browns 47.
Cleveland looked in control,
getting a fumble return for a TD
from Courtney Brown on the
second play of the game, inter-
cepting three passes and sacking
Matthews five times.
Chiefs 25, Chargers 20
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Trent
Green, San Diego’s third-string
quarterback in 1993, and run-
ning back Priest Holmes
brought the Chiefs back. They
keyed a 71-yard drive and Tony
Richardson scored his second

Giants’ rally ends with
Andersen’s winning FG
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
(AP) —- Morfen Andersen
turned his 300th game into one
of his most memorable.
Andersen kicked a 42-yard
field goal with 7:48 left in over-
time, and the New York Giants
rallied from a 17-point halftime
deficit to beat the Dallas
Cowboys 27-24 Sunday.
Kerry Collins, who had two
interceptions returned for
touchdowns in the first half,
threw three scoring passes and
hit Ike Hilliard with a 33-yarder
on third down to set up the
game-winning kick. The victo-
ry by the Giants (4-4) snapped a
Clint Stoemer, former Lee
Gander quarterback, four times
in the second half, and they
blocked a punt to set up
Collins’ 9-yard touchdown pass
to Hilliard that tied it midway
through the fourth quarter.
The 17-point comeback is the
best for the Giants since com-
ing back from a 17-0 halftime
deficit to beat San Francisco
21-17 on Dec. 1, 1986.
Collins also threw touch-
down passes of 4 and 34 yards
to Joe Jurevicius as New York
snapped Dallas’ two-game win-
ning streak. The Cowboys are
three-gamelosingstreak.
