(AP) — Fuzzy Zoeller withdrew from the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic Wednesday,saying he could not continue playing golf until talking with Masters cham pion Tiger Woods. Fighting back tears, Zoeller read a brief statement in which he again apologized for calling Woods “that little boy" and urging him not to request fried chicken and collard greens at the Champions Dinner when he returns to Augusta National next year. He then shocked a crowd of reporters by withdrawing from a tournament he has played in for 21 straight seasons. “I started this, and I feel strongly that I have to make things right with Tiger first before any thing else," Zoeller said. “I also regret the distraction this has caused the world of golf. What I said is distracting people at this tournament, and that’s not fair to the other people on this course try ing to play this tournament." Zoeller said he was told not to answer any questions about the controversy and left Forest Oaks Country Club with reporters trailing. On Tuesday, Kmart dropped its longtime sponsorship of the pop ular golfer. The Troy, Mich.-based compa ny said the comments were inap propriate and offensive, even though Zoeller said he was only joking during an interview with CNN shortly after the final round at the Masters on April 13. “Regardless of the context, they are contrary to Kmart’s long standing policies that ensure our words and deeds are without bias,” Kmart said in a statement. Zoeller, who issued a public apology in a statement Monday, apologized again Tuesday to the acting president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People while in Greensboro for this week’s PGA Tour event. “People who know me know I’m a jokester. I just didn’t deliver the line well,” Zoeller said. “I’m in a no-win situation. Accept my apology, please. I apologized to Tiger. I apologize to anyone I might have offended.” Skip Alston of the NAACP accepted Zoeller’s apology, but also threatened a boycott of the tournament. “He didn’t insult only Tiger Woods, but the entire African- American community nation wide," Alston said, adding that Zoeller’s comments were not “funny to us. You don’t pick at our culture and expect us to laugh." “It’s a tough situation and I feel bad for Fuzzy very much,” fellow golfer Mark O’Meara said Wednes day. “I know he feels bad. He is tak ing it very well, but he’s hurting pretty hard because he feels he’s always been up front with the media and the media has always been good to Fuzzy and then all of the sudden — boom — this happens.” The Greensboro Jaycees, who run the PGA tournament, issued a statement dissociating the organization from Zoeller’s com ments. But they went ahead with a long-planned tribute to the golfer Tuesday night because he played in the tournament 22 years in a row. Alston said the Jaycees state ment was “trying to sugarcoat their position about Mr. Zoeller." Alston said the NAACP might hold a protest during the tournament. Kmart avoided the prospect of corporate embarrassment by cut ting its links to Zoeller after reviewing the comments he made in the CNN interview. “That little boy is driving well and he’s putting well,’’ Zoeller told CNN about an hour after fin ishing his round at Augusta, while Woods was still on the course completing a 12-stroke victory. “He’s doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it?" Zoeller snapped his fingers, turned to walk away, then added, “Or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve.” Woods, as defending champi on, will get to select the menu for the Champions Dinner next year. Kmart spokeswoman Shawn Kahle declined to say how much Kmart paid Zoeller for the spon sorship and to have the golfer pro mote its products. The company has sponsored him for more than six years under a contract that originally was scheduled to expire in December 1998. Under his deal with Kmart, Zoeller carried the company logo on his golf bag and visor and also appeared at Kmart events. He was the only pro golfer spon sored by Kmart. Woods was in Portland, Ore., Tuesday for private meetings with Nike, his major sponsor. A local television station showed him outside Nike headquarters shoot ing a promotional spot in which company chair Phil Knight served as his caddy. Woods was not available to the media for the second day in a row, and Nike spokesman Jim Small said he had no comment on Kmart’s decision. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey that will be broadcast today, Woods said it bothers him when people call him an African-American. He is one-fourth black, one-fourth Thai, one-fourth Chinese, one- eighth white and one-eighth American Indian. “Growing up," he said, “I came up with this name: I’m a ‘Cablinasian.’’’ ne rides! $85 ($28.33/person), you and two of your ds can enjoy a hour in the air. 268-5562, ■ly@tcac.com rienced Tutor: Genetics, 7-12, math, science 690- Jones Continued from page 7 "It hurts me in track, as far as being in shape, and it hurts me in football, as far as knowing everything and getting the reps,” Jones said. “Doing them both in the fall is hard because I can’t give 100 percent to either one of them. I try to work hard in both of them, though, and do the best I can.” Despite the trials and adjust ments that hinder Jones’ dual career, A&M Head Coach Ted Nelson said Jones is on schedule and is helping the team. Jones “It’s going as we planned,” Nelson said. “The main thing is, you sort of lose focus going between the two sports. He’s doing well in track, then he goes to spring training and he loses a little bit of that focus. It’s about the time where he’s beginning to get his focus back on track, which is good.” Specifically, Jones’ focus is on sprints and the long jump, which Nelson said should continue to be his strong suits. “Probably his best even should be the 200-meters,’’ Nelson said. “But right now, it’s the 100-meters and the long jump. He runs a really good sec ond leg on the 4 x 100 relay. On most tracks, the second leg nor mally runs against the wind, and he^ a big, strong guy and does a really good job of han dling that for us.” Along with his teammates, Jones concentrates on qualifying for the NCAA Championships to help the team have a good show ing in May. “I hope we can get him quali fied for the national meet in the 100 and the long jump,” Nelson said. “We will probably jump him one time before the Big 12 meet, and I think he’ll jump real well at the Big 12 meet.” But once the season’s over, Jones will don his pads and join the Aggie Football Team for sum mer drills as he assumes his other role for the Athletic Department. “The dedication to play foot ball and still come out and prac tice and run track takes a special kind of person,” said fellow relay team member Billy Fobbs. “All we ask is for him to give every thing he has, and he hasn’t disap pointed us yet.” Choose your AGGIELAND option.
