PGA players criticize LPGA's punishment plan
Argentine Angel Cabrera joined many other PGA players in voicing their displeasure about the LPGA's decision to punish golfers who don't speak English in pro-ams, trophy presentations and media interviews. "You don't have to speak English to play golf," last year's U.S. Open winner said in Spanish. K.J. Choi of South Korea recalled his rookie season on the PGA Tour in 2000, when his English was so limited that he often got lost going to the golf course because he couldn't read street signs. He wasn't comfortable enough to speak English for five years, despite constant study. "It is a difficult situation," Choi said in English. "It is good for them to help players learn English. When I learned English, I became a better player. But to suspend them? I don't think so."
Horse racing: Curlin, the 2007 Horse of the Year, drew the No.5 post in a field of eight and was made the 3-5 morning-line favorite for tomorrow's $500,000 Woodward Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The 4-year-old regarded as the world's best horse on dirt goes for his sixth straight win on that surface in the 1 1/8 -mile Woodward.
Boxing: Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao confirmed their plan to meet Dec.6 in Las Vegas. Pacquiao, the dynamic Filipino lightweight, will move up 12pounds to welterweight.
