Woods endures nightmare day at Torrey Pines Saturday, Jan 25, 2014 06:02 PM PST (Reuters) - Defending champion Tiger Woods plunged to new depths when he missed a secondary cut on the PGA Tour for the first time after struggling badly in Saturday's third round of the Farmers Insurance Open outside San Diego. It was his worst ever score at the event, which he has won at Torrey Pines a record seven times, and ensured he would miss the third-round cut for the leading 70 players and ties, giving him the unwanted label of 'MDF' (made cut, did not finish). Woods, whose remarkable playoff win at the 2008 U.S. Open also took place at Torrey Pines, declined to speak to Golf Channel and CBS Sports after he had signed his scorecard, and also turned down requests to talk to reporters. Woods, who won last year's Farmers Insurance Open by four shots in a fog-delayed Monday finish, endured a damaging run of back-to-back double bogeys followed by five straight bogeys from the 18th, his ninth hole, to finish at six-over-par 222.

Coogan, Brydon embark on culinary odyssey in 'The Trip to Italy' Saturday, Jan 25, 2014 04:07 PM PST By Piya Sinha-Roy LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The food is better, the weather is warmer and the landscapes are more exquisite, but middle-aged comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are still in a funk in new film "The Trip to Italy." British actors Coogan and Brydon, both 48, reunited with director Michael Winterbottom in Italy for a sequel to their cult comedy "The Trip," a mockumentary where the two play fictionalized versions of themselves on a week-long culinary trip for a newspaper. In the new film, which premiered this week at the Sundance Film Festival, Coogan and Bryon take a Mini Cooper car to roam idyllic Italian landscapes, with a soundtrack provided by Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" album, the only CD the men have in their car.

California jury clears singer Courtney Love of Twitter libel Friday, Jan 24, 2014 10:21 PM PST By Steve Gorman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California jury on Friday cleared singer-actress Courtney Love of libeling her former lawyer on Twitter in a defamation case believed to be the first to reach trial in the United States over comments published on the social media network. The verdict was returned by the 12-member Los Angeles County Superior Court jury after about four hours of deliberations, capping a nearly two-week trial, said plaintiff's lawyer Mitchell Langberg. A lawsuit brought against Love in May 2011 claimed she had committed libel by falsely suggesting in a 2010 tweet that an attorney who had represented her in planned litigation against the estate of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, had been bribed to quit that case. The tweet at issue claimed that the plaintiff, Rhonda Holmes, had been "bought off." Holmes sought $8 million in compensatory damages in her libel claim. Full Story | Top |
