DUBLIN, Ohio -- Tiger Woods withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday as he recovers from back surgery that has kept him out of golf for nearly three months. It will be the second U.S. Open, and sixth major, he has missed because of injury over the last six years. The U.S. Open is June 12-15 at Pinehurst No. 2, where Woods tied for third in 1999 and was runner-up in 2005. The announcement on his website was not surprising. A week ago at a promotional event for the Quicken Loans National at Congressional, Woods said he still had not taken a full swing with a golf club and did not know when he could. He had microdiscetomy surgery to relieve a pinched nerve on March 31. "Unfortunately, I wont be there because Im not yet physically able to play competitive golf," Woods said. "Id like to convey my regrets to the USGA leadership, the volunteers and the fans that I wont be at Pinehurst. The U.S. Open is very important to me, and I know its going to be a great week." Woods last played on March 9 at Doral, where he closed with a 78 while suffering what he called back spasms. He withdrew in the middle of the final round at the Honda Classic with back pain a week earlier. Woods is a three-time U.S. Open champion, one short of the record shared by Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and Willie Anderson. His most recent U.S. Open victory was in 2008 at Torrey Pines, where he won in a playoff over Rocco Mediate a week before he had season-ending knee surgery. That was his 14th victory in 46 majors, a winning rate of 30 per cent as a pro. He has not won a major since Torrey Pines, leaving him four short of Nicklaus record. Woods missed the British Open and PGA Championship after knee surgery in 2008. He missed the U.S. Open and British Open while allowing leg injuries to heal in 2011. He missed the Masters for the first time in April because of back surgery. Nicklaus said earlier Wednesday that Woods health would be the biggest obstacle in breaking his record in the majors. Woods called Nicklaus earlier Wednesday to express regrets about missing the Memorial, and Nicklaus said that Woods indicated he was making progress. "If hes healthy, I think Tiger has got 10-plus years to play top quality tournament golf," Nicklaus said. "And Ive said many times, hes got a little over 40 tournaments to play the major championships; hes only got to win five to pass my record. As good a player as he is, I dont think that should be a big deal. But then again, hes got to do it. Plus, hes also got to be healthy to be able to do it." Woods has not indicated when he might be able to return to competition, saying that would be up to his doctors and how he recovers from the surgery. "Despite missing the first two majors, and several other important tournaments, I remain very optimistic about this year and my future," he said. While Woods wont be at Pinehurst, niece Cheyenne Woods will be there the following week for the U.S. Womens Open. She earned a spot Wednesday in qualifying in Scottsdale, Arizona.

It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points. https://www.netsrookiesshop.com/Theo-Pinson-City-Edition-Jersey/ .

Sociedad posted a statement on its website saying it had reached a deal with manager David Moyes to be the coach of the first team until June 30, 2016. It is Moyes first coaching assignment since being fired last season after less than a year in charge at United, where he took the top job after Alex Ferguson retired. Moyes had moved to United after spending more than a decade at Everton, where he established a reputation as one of the top British managers. The San Sebastian-based Sociedad is 15th in the 20-team Spanish league after earning a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday under caretaker coaches. The Basque club said it will announce plans to present Moyes and detail the rest of his coaching staff on Tuesday. Sociedad fired Jagoba Arrasate after earning just one win in the first 10 rounds of the league and failing to reach the Europa League group stage in his second year in charge of the team. Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay said last week that Moyes was one of four potential candidates to replace Arrasate. The other identified candidate was former West Bromwich Albion and Real Betis boss Pepe Mel. Moyes will inherit a team known for its attractiive, passing-based style during recent seasons that led it to a fourth-place finish and Champions League berth in 2013.ddddddddddddThe team lost forward Antoine Griezmann and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo this off-season, but it still has Mexican forward Carlos Vela to lead its attack, Inigo Martinez to anchor its defence, and veteran Xabi Prieto in the midfield. Manchester United fired Moyes in April, just 10 months after Ferguson had hand-picked him as his successor. Moyes failed to uphold Fergusons winning legacy and left the team then languishing in seventh place in the Premier League and assured to miss qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in 19 years. United, however, hasnt fared better this season under Luis Van Gaal. The 20-time English champions are in seventh place after 11 rounds, trailing leader Chelsea by 13 points. Moyes will now have the opportunity to turn around his career and Sociedads fortunes by re-floating the clubs campaign to qualify for the Europa League with a sixth- or seventh-place finish, instead of worrying about a late-season relegation battle. His first task will be building on the boost of confidence the team got from its win at the weekend over the defending Spanish champions. Moyes debut for Sociedad will be on the road at struggling Deportivo La Coruna after the international break on Nov. 22. ' ' '
