four rounds. That was on the 16th hole of the first round, and the ball wound up in the 17th fairway. He still made birdie. But it's not just the golf course. Woods is not the same player, having gone through three operations since — two on his left knee, the most recent sur- gery March 31 on his back. He used to win majors at a rate slight better than one per year. Now he has gone six years without, dating to his 14th at Torrey Pines in the 2008 U.S. Open. And the biggest change might be the guys who are trying to beat him. Even though Woods is coming off a five-win sea- son, he no longer is the strongest, biggest or lon- gest player. Nineteen play- ers have won majors since his last one. "I think it gets harder ev- ery year just because the field gets deeper — more guys with a chance to win. What did we have, 16, 17 straight first-time win- ners?" Woods said, refer- ring to one stretch when there were no repeat cham- pions in 16 straight majors. "It's getting harder to win. The margin is so much smaller. It's only going to continue to be the case. Guys are going to get lon- ger. They're going to get faster. Guys who are com- ing out here are bigger, stronger, faster, more ath- letic." Woods used to be among the longest. He is 38 now, and the latest reminder of how much golf has changed was on Sunday while play- ing with Gary Woodland, who gave up baseball and basketball to concentrate on golf. The ball makes a different sound coming off Woodland's club, as it once did for Woods. "I walked around with Gary Woodland on Sun- day and he said, 'Yeah, I fi- nally found a driver and a ball I can hit 320 again in the air'" Woods said, paus- ing to let those number sink in. "Yeah. In the air. So the game has changed a lot since then." There is one change that most agree is for the better. At least Woods is playing. The sport's star attrac- tion is playing a major championship for the first time this year. The back surgery to relieve an im- pinged nerve caused him to miss the Masters for the first time, and then the U.S. Open. He re- turned three weeks ago at Congressional and missed the cut, though Woods was more excited that he played pain free. "Tiger Woods has been the face of our game for nearly 20 years," Rory Mc- Ilroy said. "So to have him playing, have him back, is important. It's a good op- portunity for some of the other guys to stand up and be counted and win tour- naments, either in his ab- sence of if he's coming back and isn't quite back to 100 percent form." That's already been hap- pening. In a most peculiar season, the PGA Tour al- ready has produced 10 win- ners who were not among the top 100 in the world. And only four players in 35 tournaments have been in the top 10. Woods acknowledged how different 2006 was in other ways. His father had just died two months ear- lier, and he had missed the cut in a major for the first time in the U.S. Open be- fore going to Hoylake. He sobbed on the 18th green on the shoulder of his cad- die, Steve Williams, whom he since fired, and tearfully embraced his wife, from whom he is now divorced. There have been game changes, life changes. Nothing is what it once seemed. Woods finds inspiration not so much from his last victory at Hoylake, but the last major he won. He had not played a competitive round in two months because of injury — shattered ligaments in his knee and a dou- ble stress fracture in his leg. He won the 2008 U.S. Open in a playoff and had season-ending surgery the next week. "I've proven I can do it," Woods said. "It's just a matter of giving myself the best chances this week to miss the ball in the cor- rect spots, to be aggres- sive when I can and obvi- ously to hole putts. That's a recipe you find for ev- ery major championship. But I've just got to do it this week." Woods FROMPAGE1 Barba spent more than 560 days in county jail and with one day of good con- duct credit for each day he served, he had 1,129 total days served, which made him eligible for parole, Ra- mon said. Barba, with tattoos on his face, neck and arms, smiled at Ngo and his other attorney Lucy McAllister as he stood in court wear- ing jeans sagging beneath a gray shirt, his dark hair braided in a long ponytail. According to prose- cutors, Barba was at the 2012 party at Smith's home where at one point, hun- dreds of people had gath- ered outside and the social gathering spun out of con- trol. Smith, after learning that a person brandished a firearm at a bartender, went to his garage and or- dered people to leave. Someone then fired three shots into the garage and missed Smith and oth- ers. Smith later told sher- iff's deputies he went to re- trieve a firearm, came back to the garage and heard a person utter a "gang slur" at him. Smith said he then told the people outside, "This is my house. I'm Aldon Smith" in an effort to get the crowd to disperse. Someone then came for- ward and stabbed his leg twice, but did not seriously hurt Smith. He reacted by kicking the assailant and then noticed his leg was bleeding from the minor wounds when he reen- tered his garage, prosecu- tors said. Walker then picked up a .45 caliber handgun, went out to the driveway and shot the gun into the air to cause whoever fired into the garage to flee. But more gunshots from the crowd were fired in re- turn, wounding two party guests, who would file law- suits against Smith and Walker. Smith identified Barba as the person who stabbed him after investigators showed him surveillance video of the attack. Smith himself on May 21 pleaded no contest to three felony weapons counts af- ter deputies investigating the 2012 party incident lo- cated in his home three as- sault rifles that are illegal in California. His sentenc- ing hearing is set for July 25. Barba's criminal case will be back in court be- fore Ramon on Friday when his attorneys will argue against a move an- nounced today by prosecu- tors to require the defen- dant to register as a street gang member. Ngo said that the re- quirement was never part of Barba's plea agreement. Prosecutors charged Barba with assault with a deadly weapon with an enhancement for alleg- edly being a gang mem- ber, two counts for being a convicted felon in posses- sion of a firearm and mis- demeanor counts of carry- ing a dagger and inflicting corporal injury. Barba pleaded not guilty to the charges on April 30 prior to reaching the deal with prosecutors and changed his plea to no con- test in June. Smith FROM PAGE 1 Oakland City Coun- cilman Larry Reid was quoted by the San Fran- cisco Chronicle last week as saying that Montreal and San Antonio could be possible sites for the A's to move to if they don't get a new lease at the Col- iseum. "I have no idea where that was coming — nobody certainly had talked to me. So it was beyond absurd," baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said Tuesday. "We're two-thirds of the way home, and that's pretty good. We have only one hurdle to go, and I feel that we'll solve that hur- dle," he said of the new lease. "We've had to go through the tortures of hell to get to where we are." Coliseum FROM PAGE 1 While not as flashy as Mariano Rivera's All-Star farewell at Citi Field last year, when all the other players left the great re- liever alone on the field for an eighth-inning solo bow, Jeter also tried not to make a fuss. A 14-time All-Star who was MVP of the 2000 game in Atlanta, he announced in February this will be his final season. His hits left him with a .481 All-Star average (13 for 27), just be- hind Charlie Gehringer's .500 record (10 for 20) for players with 20 or more at- bats. While the Yankees are .500 at the break and in danger of missing the post- season in consecutive years for the first time in two de- cades, Jeter and the An- gels' Trout gave a boost to whichever AL team reaches the World Series. The AL improved to 9-3 since the All-Star game started deciding which league gets Series home- field advantage; 23 of the last 28 titles were won by teams scheduled to host four of a possible seven games. Detroit's Max Scherzer, in line to be the most-prized free agent pitcher after the season, pitched a scoreless fifth for the victory, and Glen Perkins got the save in his home ballpark. Pat Neshek, a hometown favorite whose brother works on the Target Field grounds crew, took the loss. The AL won for the first time in three tries in Min- nesota; it lost 6-5 at Met- ropolitan Stadium in 1965 and 6-1 at the normally homer-friendly Metro- dome, where not one long- ball was hit under its Tef- lon roof in 1985. Target Field, a $545 mil- lion, limestone-encased jewel that opened in 2010, produced an All-Star cycle just eight batters in, with hitters showing off flashy neon-bright spikes and fielders wearing All-Star caps with special designs for the first time. With the late sunset — the sky didn't darken un- til the fifth inning, well af- ter 9 o'clock — there was bright sunshine when Jeter was cheered before his first at-bat. He was introduced by a recording of late Yan- kees public address an- nouncer Bob Sheppard's deep monotone: "Now batting for the American League, from the New York Yankees, the short- stop, number two, Derek Jeter. Number two. St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright left his glove on the mound and backed up toward second, clap- ping along with the crowd of 41,048.
