This was sickening to many other managers and players that many media houses expected Tevez contract to be terminated.

Not good for tiger

Tiger Woods started his PGA championship with a poor performance. Woods missed 3 putts within 5 feet, hit 6 shots out of bunkers and hit a layup shot on a par-5 into hazard on his way to a 2-over-par 73.
