Tiger Woods has record day — not in good way — at Players

Here's a first: Tiger Woods had two double bogeys on par-5 holes Saturday. It's something that hadn't happened in more than 1,100 rounds on the PGA Tour.

With a 40 to open Saturday's third round, Woods made sure he wouldn't be playing for a title at The Players Championship. Only a miracle can make him a contender. He finished with a 75.

Among the amazing sights Saturday at TPC Sawgrass: Woods uncorking a 105-yard drive.

Yes, 105 yards. Woods has been an unhappy hooker at the Florida course, and this ugly twist to the left bull's-eyed a tree, ricocheted back and landed in pine straw.

That folly at No. 2 concluded sloppy shots and missed putts. He duplicated the 7 at No. 9.

His only salvation? This birdie on No. 7.

There's always Sunday ...

Astros promote former No. 1 pick Carlos Correa to Triple-A Fresno

The Astros have promoted their top prospect, shortstop Carlos Correa, to Triple A, but his stay there will likely be brief. The 20-year-old shortstop was hitting .385/.459/.726 with seven homers, 32 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 29 games with Double-A Corpus Christi. He was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft. FANTASY: Scouting Carlos Correa Houston's starting shortstop, Jed Lowrie, is out until the All-Star break with a thumb injury, and the Astros have had trouble getting production out of the position. That means Correa's stint with Triple-A Fresno could be brief, according to the Astros website.  The scouting report on Correa is that he's solid fielder who possesses the ability to hit for both average and power. Correa will join the Fresno Grizzlies on Tuesday in Albuquerque. View the original article here
