One month after missing the cut for the first time in a major, Woods was ruthless as ever on the links of Royal Liverpool, making three straight birdies to turn away a spirited challenge by Chris DiMarco and win golf’s oldest champion ship for the second straight year. He closed with a 5-under 67 and became the first player since Tom Watson in 1982-83 to win consecutive titles. This was his first victory since his father, Earl Woods, died May 3 after a brutal bout with cancer. Some questioned whether Woods could regain his focus, especially after he was sent packing after two rounds at Winged Foot in the U.S. Open. Rollins claims B.C. Open VERONA, N.Y. (AP) _ John Rollins shot an 8-under-par 64, edging Bob May by one shot to win his second straight B.C. Open title. Landis extends U.S. dominance PARIS (AP) - The highs and lows of Floyd Landis’ nail-biter of a bike race ended without a hitch Sunday as he won the Tour de France and kept cycling's most prestigious title in American hands Jpr the eighth straight year. The 30-year-old Landis, pedaling with an injured hip, cruised to victory on the cobblestones of the Champs-Elyses, a day after regaining the leader’s yellow jersey and building an insurmountable lead in the final time trial. Landis picked up where another American left off last year, when Lance Armstrong completed his seventh and final Tour triumph. With the victory, Landis becomes the third American _ joining Armstrong and three-time winner Greg LeMond _ to win the Tour. Landis’ fifth yellow jersey of the Tour was possible thanks to a once-in-a-life time ride Thursday in the Alps that put him back in contention, one day after a disastrous ride dropped him from first to 11th, more than eight minutes back. JULY2S, 2006 Hamlin completes Pocono sweep LONG POND, Pa. (AP) - Denny Hamlin completed the Pocono sweep on Sunday, dominating the field for his second victory that pushed the rookie into championship contention. While Hamlin was cruising around Pocono Raceway, teammate Tony Stewart nearly self-destructed and Dale Earnhardt Jr. took another hit in his pur suit of the Nextel Cup title. Stewart, the defending champion, was black-flagged early in the race for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer. He rebounded for a seventh place finish, good enough to move back into 10th in the Chase for the championship stand ings. Earnhardt is out of the top 10 after a hit from Dave Blaney sent him into the wall and out of the race. Busch finished second to Hamlin for the second time this season. Jeff Gordon was third and was fol lowed by Brian Vickers, Kevin Harvick and points leader Jimmie Johnson. Stewart, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton and Martin Truex Jr. rounded out the top 10.
