Golf Update
No worries about Vijay being paired with Annika --
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Vijay Singh won't have to worry about Annika Sorenstam next week -- not because he's playing great, but because he won't be playing.
Moments after winning the Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday, Singh withdrew from the Colonial, where Sorenstam will make history by becoming the first woman in 58 years to play in a PGA Tour event.
It averted what might have been a dicey situation for Singh in the wake of comments he made earlier about Sorenstam having no business playing there.
But Singh insisted he did not withdraw because of that. He was, he said, merely tired.
"It has nothing to do with the controversy," Singh said. "I've played in four straight tournaments, and I need a break."
A contentious week for Singh ended with an unlikely win, considering the media frenzy he found himself caught in after saying that Sorenstam shouldn't be allowed to play in the Colonial, and that if he was paired with her he wouldn't play.
