'I Regret Transgressions With All Of My Heart', Says Woods


Thousand Oaks, California (December 3): In a sweeping statement on his website that touched on several aspects of the turmoil that has swirled for almost a week, Tiger Woods seemed to concede that taboid reports of his infidelity are true.

But that was only good enough for second place on 18-under 270 as Oda fired a scintillating 65 to retain the title he won last year.
