GOLF: Tiger Woods' US Open bid has suffered a big blow after it was announced that the 13-time Major winner won't make make his competitive return from a knee operation until the year's second Major at Torrey Pines. The 32-year-old earlier this season had eyed up a clean sweep of the four Major titles but that ambitious bid fell at the first hurdle when South African Trevor Immelman won the Masters. Woods had hoped for a return to action ahead of the US Open at the Memorial tournament in Ohio next week.A But he will not attend that event and is also set to miss the Stanford St. Jude Championship in Memphis the following week. Woods still has a chance at the US Open though - he has won six times at Torrey Pines.
POWERBOATING: Qatar Team 96 will start today's Hypo Group Montenegro Grand Prix in pole position after Sheikh Hassan bin Jabor Al Thani and throttleman Steve Curtis set a blistering pace in Budva yesterday. Piloting the V12-powered cat, Sheikh Hassan and Curtis completed the pre-race pole lap in a time of 2m:19.78s to take first place ahead of Dubai's Victory 1, crewed by Nadir bin Hindi and Mohammed Al Marri, who posted a best time of 2m:21.37s. Third quickest were Norway's BJ Jacobsen and Jorn Tandberg in Jotun 90. Dubai's Bin Hindi is still confident of victory. He said: "The boat is absolutely beautiful. But Mohammed hasn't raced in Class 1 for something like seventeen months so we're still getting used to each other."
