Golfer’s injury aids Europeans in competition. Though his presence in the competition has led Europeans to victories four out of the last five times that he played, Tiger Woods’ absence has been felt at the Ryder Cup tournament. The competition that began this week and concludes on Sept. 21 is missing Woods as he recovers from knee surgery. Team USA captain Paul Azinger says that Woods’ absence is a handicap, despite his losing record against Team Europe. “I can’t imagine how you can argue a team would be better off without…potentially the greatest player who has ever lived,” says Azinger. The tournament is underway in Louisville and combines teams of golfers in the traditionally individual sport.

Braylon Edwards skated on ticket, chief says. Cleveland Browns player Braylon Edwards has drawn a flag, but this one happened off the football field. The NFL receiver was reportedly stopped in suburban Cleveland on Aug. 29 while driving 120 miles per hour in his Bentley. But an officer who stopped Edwards apparently recognized him and let him go. A spokesman for the Avon, Ohio police chief says Edwards has since been served the ticket. He was let go after the officer determined that Edwards hadn’t been drinking and that a sick passenger was in the vehicle.
