Woods falls to Clark of 2nd day of comeback
golf
One day after a ceremonious return to golf, Tiger Woods was on his way home. Tim Clark of South Africa played 16 holes without a bogey and pulled ahead for good on the back nine yesterday in Marana, Ariz., knocking Woods out of the Accenture Match Play Championship with a 4-and-2 victory. Woods holed out a 50-foot bunker shot for birdie on the 14th hole and appeared to be making a run, but his tee shot on the 15th hole hit a cart path and went over a fence and out of bounds, costing him the hole. Woods likely will play in two weeks at Doral in the CA Championship, although he said he would wait to see how his left knee felt. This was his first tournament since reconstructive surgery on the knee one week after he won the U.S. Open in June. Asked where he would go from here, Woods replied, "To the airport." Next up for Clark is 19-year-old Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, who birdied the last two holes to beat Hunter Mahan. Phil Mickelson again avoided a late meltdown and hung on to beat fellow Masters champion Zach Johnson, 1 up. Vijay Singh, the No. 4 seed, lost his last three holes and was beaten by Luke Donald of England in 19 holes.

Imprisoned NFL star Michael Vick will be allowed to serve the last two months of his sentence under home confinement because there is no room at a halfway house for him, a government official told the Associated Press. Vick is serving a 23-month sentence at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., after pleading guilty to bankrolling a dogfighting operation at a home he owned in eastern Virginia's Surry County. Vick will be released to his home in Hampton, Va., on or after May 21, said the official, who has knowledge of the case but requested anonymity. Vick will be on electronic monitoring and will be allowed to leave home only for activities approved by his probation officer, the official said. He is eligible for release in July.

Giants:: A day after signing a $25 million contract, running back Brandon Jacobs said the only thing New York needs to make another run at a title is receiver Plaxico Burress. "We have to hope Plaxico Burress gets out of all the issues he has going on there legally," Jacobs said. "If he can get out of that, we can bring him back and ... that is basically all we need."
