Woods dominates
like no other athlete
DALLAS SHIPP
I s Tiger Woods the most dominant
entity in the sports world today?
What about Kobe Bryant or
Shaquille O’Neal and the Lakers?
What about Roger Clemens and the
Yankees? Sure, they have won their
share of titles, however, there is a
distinct difference. The Lakers and
Yankees may dominate their respec
tive sports, but there is no single ath
lete in the world that dominates his
sport like Tiger Woods.
The Lakers are not the Lakers
without Kobe and Shaq. When Shaq
was with the Orlando Magic, the
Houston Rockets swept him in his
only NBA Finals appearance in 1995.
How about Clemens? He was not
exactly what the doctor ordered for
the Curse of the Bambino in Boston,
and he sure was not able to help the
Toronto Blue Jays recapture its magic
of the early 90s. Without the rest of
New York's pitching rotation and the
payroll in excess of $100 million a
year, Clemens would be just another
hard throwing right-hander.
In Los Angeles, the Lakers have a
formidable opponent in the
Sacramento Kings; the Arizona
Diamondbacks dethroned the
Yankees last year. Woods, however,
has no rival. There is no one in the
world that can even stand in the
same ring as him and compete. Phil
Mickelson, the No. 2 player in the
world, has yet to deliver on Sundays
against Tiger.
Since 1996, Tiger has won over
40 tournaments and has revolutional-
ized the game of golf. He hits the
ball longer and straighter than any
one else on the tour. No one hits the

Tiger Woods has proven to be the most

greens in regulation better than
Woods and only two are ranked
ahead of him in putting. However, if
he can get to the green faster, he can
afford to miss a putt now and then.
The most impressive sight golf
fans have seen from Woods so far is
his ability to win in pressure situa
tions. Woods has won eight major
championships including the 2002
Masters and the 2002 U.S. Open last
weekend in Bethpage, N.Y., in which
he was 2-over in his final round and
still captured his second U.S. Open
title with a three-stroke victory.

S. Korea shocks Italy, 2-1
5 major federations represented in quarterfinals
YOKOHAMA, Japan
(AP) — For the first time,
the World Cup will have a
quarterfinal round worthy of
the tournament’s name.
All five major soccer con
federations will be represent
ed in the final eight —
including the United States
from CONCACAF and co
host South Korea from Asia
— following eight scintillat
ing second-round matches.
“There is no longer an
established world in soccer,”
said U.S. coach Bruce Arena,
whose team plays Germany
on Friday. “It is truly a glob
al game now. At the end of
the day, the Brazils and
Germanys and Englands and
Italys will be there, but the
gap is closing.”
He was right about three
of those soccer giants. But
Italy was dispatched by an
overtime goal off the head of
South Korean midfielder Ahn
Jung-hwan in a 2-1 victory
that sent millions of Koreans
into the streets in celebration.
“We made it to the last
eight because of the big sup
port from the fans,” defender
Kim Tae-young said. “We
will catch Spain in the quar
terfinals (Saturday). Please
trust us.”
The other upcoming
games have Brazil against
England on Friday and
Senegal against Turkey on
Saturday. The Turks knocked
out the other co-host, beating
Japan 1-0 on Tuesday.
Will the litany of upsets
continue?
The most recent last-
place finishers, the
Americans, are still alive.
while the defending champi
on French are long gone. A
newcomer and a team mak
ing its first appearance in
five decades have survived.
North America will be
represented by the United
States, whose 2-0 victory
over Mexico made many
American fans forget the 0-3
debacle of 1998 and the com
plete absence from the World
Cup between 1950 and 1990.
“It’s like it’s not happen
ing,” said midfielder Landon
Donovan, who scored the
second goal against Mexico.
“It’s like a dream.”
The dream continued for
South Korea — barely.
Trailing 1-0 at Daejeon, Seol
Ki-Hyeon scored just two
minutes from the end of reg
ulation. Then, three minutes
before a penalty-kick
shootout, Ahn Jung-hwan
eliminated the three-time
champions with his header.
“We are going on and we
are enjoying it very much,”
said Guus Hiddink, South
Korea’s Dutch coach. “We
know we have tonight to
celebrate and people must
celebrate.”
South Korea became the
first Asian team in the quar
terfinals since North Korea
in 1966 — when the North
Koreans shocked the Italians
to reach the final eight.
The African confederation
is represented by fearless
Senegal, which set the tone
for a World Cup full of upsets
when it defeated France in
the Dakar Lions’ first-ever
tournament game.
The Senegalese dis
patched Sweden with a gold
en goal from Henri Camara
off a back-heeled pass from
Pape Thiaw. Camara sank the
same Swedes who in the first
round eliminated Argentina,
seemingly everyone’s pre
tournament favorite to win.
“We knew that it would
be a very hard match, a
match of warriors,” African
player of the year El Hadji
Diouf said of the game with
Sweden. “We showed once
more that we are a band of
brothers, a band of friends.”
Even Turkey, which last
participated in the World Cup
in 1954, is still around, cast
ing gloom over Japan’s blue-
clad fans with a header by
Umit Davala in the 12th
minute Tuesday.
Of course, some favorites
still are breathing.
