As Woods defends his U.S. Open title this week at Olympia Fields near Chicago, fellow Isleworth member Johnson lines up in the $660,000 Saint Omer Open, a modest new event on the European Tour.

LPGA tournament kicks off

By Raj Raghani · Wednesday, June 11,2003 8:50 p.m.

Karen Dennison, a junior and member of the IU golf team, is all set to make her professional debut Friday at the LPGA Giant Eagle Classic in Vienna, Ohio. The talented Dennison will have her hands full during this tournament that also features last weekend's McDonald's LPGA Championship winner, Annika Sorenstam and runner-up, Grace Parks. With the Squaw Creek Country Club being the venue once again this year, the tournament promises to be a sensational affair. This private, well-maintained course will be quite challenging with its water hazards and numerous trees, and it will cause players to alter their shots very often. The rough, woods and water hazards account for over 70 percent of the entire course and so the layout of the par-72 course also ensures that it plays longer than it actually looks.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Alex Rodriguez was out of the Texas Rangers' starting lineup on Saturday night against Montreal with a bruised left knee. "I tweaked it a little bit last night," he said.

NEW YORK -- The magical ride ended in the mud, splashed aside by a rival who wasn't about to let a gelded nobody become part of racing royalty.

IU raises ticket prices

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, June 8,2003 10:24 p.m.

The IU Athletics Department has decided to raise non-student ticket prices for football games to offset financial troubles that have plagued the department since the departure of former athletics director Michael McNeely in November of 2002. Last year, the athletics department had a $3.2 million debt, and the IU athletics ticket manager Mike Roberts told The Associated Press the price changes are to combat this deficit.

Hoosier junior to play in LPGA tournament

By Raj Raghani · Wednesday, June 4,2003 9:21 p.m.

In the wake of Annika Sorenstam's attempts to revolutionize the women's golf game at the Memorial, IU might see the rise of another golfer who could leave her mark on the LPGA Circuit as early as next week. Coming off the most successful year of her college career, junior Karen Dennison has accepted a sponsor's exemption to partake in the 2003 Giant Eagle LPGA Classic on June 9-15, at the Squaw Creek Country Club in Vienna, Ohio. She will now get a small taste of what it feels like to play on the professional tour, alongside greats such as Sorenstam, Dorothy Delasin and Beth Daniel. Dennison has been very excited all month, working consistently with coach Sam Carmichael to improve her overall game in an attempt to be as competitive as possible come tournament time. Prior to the 2003 season, Carmichael was happy with her ability to better herself as a player, and with a LPGA Tour bid, it seems that her will for improvement has paid off.

Good thing predictions are useless. Instead, both ended up with bids to the final collegiate meet, where they will vie for All-America status.

By Zack Eldridge · Wednesday, June 4,2003 9:19 p.m.

A perplexing question to answer is does football promote violence in teenagers and adults who regularly watch NFL games? A recent study by IU researchers says when it comes to cases of domestic violence, football does not encourage as much of it as once thought.

Foreign drivers, motors dominate race

By Dan Patrick · Sunday, June 1,2003 9:29 p.m.

When the Indy Racing League originally was founded in 1996 by Tony George, its main goal was to counter NASCAR's growing dominance through the use of more home-grown American drivers. However, it now seems the "American way" has been lost at the Indianapolis 500. In fact, if this year's Indianapolis 500 results can be used as a gauge, it seems that the IRL was founded to showcase Brazilian drivers rather than their American counterparts. Gil de Ferran, the soft-spoken Penske driver, took this year's race, followed closely by the more flamboyant 2001 and 2002 winner Helio Castroneves, and third place went to Tony Kanaan -- all Brazilian drivers.
