   *Tiger Woods won his 50th PGA Tour title Sunday with a three-stroke victory at the Buick Open in Detroit. The golf star shot his fourth straight 6-under 66 to beat Jim Furyk. The win was Woods’ fourth out of 11 starts in 2006, and the second since the passing of his father, Earl Woods.  Woods became the seventh member of the PGA Tour's 50-win club after improving to 21-for-21 when leading by more than one stroke after three rounds. The 30-year-old Woods beat Jack Nicklaus’ record pace to the milestone, which Nicklaus reached in 1973 at the age of 33. "That's pretty cool to get to 50," Woods said. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd get to 50."

     *The New York Post is reporting that three men tried to rob boxer Zab Judah last week as he stood next to his yellow Lamborghini on West 27th Street at 10th Avenue in New York. According to police, the trio rolled up in a minivan at about 5 a.m. and hopped out. One of them, 19-year-old Derrick Ayers, pulled a black handgun on the former welterweight champion and told him to put his jewelry on the hood of his car. Judah ran instead. The muggers followed in their van, which ended up crashing into a tree a block away. All three scattered, but one was captured by a Homeland Security agent on his way to work, and another was grabbed by a nearby cab driver. The third is still at large, the Post reported Saturday. "A bunch of idiots that didn't have no control over what they were doing," Judah told The Post. "They messed with the wrong guy."

       *Barry Bonds' historic 715th home run ball – which put him in second place on the all-time home run list behind Hank Aaron at 755 – sold for $220,100 in an online auction that ended Thursday. The winner was identified only by his eBay ID "52817," said David Cotter, founder of Seattle-based Mpire, which co-hosted the 10-day auction with San Jose's eBay. Andrew Morbitzer of San Francisco put the ball up for auction about two months after he caught it at AT&T Park on May 28. The 38-year-old marketing director with software company Intuit said he plans to put the auction money toward a down payment for a house in San Francisco.

       *It was an emotional day in Canton, Ohio Saturday as the late Reggie White was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by his widow Sara. Their daughter, Jecolia, sang the National Anthem, and their son, Jeremy, introduced his mother. Both crying, they shared a long hug after unveiling Reggie's bust before a crowd that included members of one of his former teams, the Philadelphia Eagles. Fellow inductee, Warren Moon, was the first black quarterback inducted into the Hall. He spoke of having to join the Canadian Football League after college to play quarterback. "I was not really invited to the combine and no coaches came out to give me workouts. It was a foregone conclusion quarterback was not in my future in the NFL, but changing positions was,” said Moon. “I was going to play quarterback and I was looking for somebody who would let me do that. Thank you Canada." Other inductees included Harry Carson, John Madden, Rayfield Wright and Troy Aikman.      

      *Ghana fighter Ike Quartey (37-3-1) was left stunned and speechless following his loss by unanimous decision to former two-time world champion Vernon Forrest (38-2-0) Saturday night in a middleweight bout in Las Vegas. Despite Quartey appearing to land more punches, and the deduction of a point from Forrest for delivering a low blow, the judges gave Forrest the match. "I was shocked," said Quartey, who entered the fight undefeated in three bouts since returning from a four-year hiatus. "You saw the fight. They saw the fight. I won the fight."
