Tiger Wins AT&T National: Although an incredibly strong round by Hunter Mahan — an eight-under 62, tying the course record that had been set by third-place finisher Anthony Kim on Thursday — held the end result temporarily in question at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, there just wasn’t any way that Tiger…
A short note on Tiger Woods’s web site this afternoon announced that the world’s best golfer accepted an invitation to speak in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, as part of the “We Are One” inaugural concert.

The Post sports folks are beside themselves — both Boswell and Wilbon have columns today rhapsodizing about the new event. We can’t…
Sad news, Washington. Fox 5 brings us a heartbreaking story from a Maryland farm. Apparently someone broke into a barn in Yellow Springs, Md. and cut off a sheep’s head. As Shawn Yancy lamented, this left “an adorable lamb… motherless”. Just think! What kind of monster would harm a helpless farm animal?
