Monday, Jan 28, 2013 07:01 PM PST

Watney falls well short in Tiger chase 
Monday, Jan 28, 2013 06:20 PM PST
SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Nick Watney knew he was up against it in his unlikely bid to chase down Tiger Woods in the Farmers Insurance Open final round and he ultimately fell well short after making a bright start. Six shots behind Woods after the fog-delayed third round was finally completed at Torrey Pines on Sunday, he went on to birdie four of his next nine holes before fading after the turn on Monday. Watney never got closer than five strokes off the lead, piling up four bogeys in strengthening winds over the last nine holes to close with a one-under-par 71. ...

Monday, Jan 28, 2013 06:00 PM PST
DURBAN, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Champions Zambia must win their last group game against Burkina Faso in Nelspruit on Tuesday to stand any chance of reaching the African Nations Cup quarter-finals. Two below-par performances in their opening matches have left Zambia with two points and in a tight corner, where they need victory to leapfrog Group C leaders Burkina Faso who have four points. Zambia have shown little of the form that saw them win the Nations Cup one year ago and even relied on goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene's 85th-minute penalty against Nigeria to salvage a draw. ...
