Woods keeps 2-shot lead in swirling wind

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.

Tiger Woods survived a rough round of swirling wind at Sherwood on Saturday with two birdies on his last three holes. That enabled him to salvage an even-par 72 and maintain his two-shot lead over Zach Johnson going into the final round of the World Challenge. The average score was just under 73, and everyone ran into problems somewhere along the way, particularly on the 15th, a par 3 that played to an average score of 4.17. Johnson made two double bogeys on par 3s on the back nine, and didn’t feel as though he hit a poor shot on either hole. It was simply a matter of getting the wind to cooperate.

Woods was at 11-under 205, two shots ahead of Johnson, just like he started the day.

Sporting KC tops Real Salt Lake for MLS Cup

KANSAS CITY, Kan.

Aurelien Collin had never needed to try a penalty kick in his career. It’s unlikely that the next one will compare to the first. Collin drove home the deciding penalty kick after Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake played to a 1-all draw Saturday night, giving his club its first league championship since 2000.

Alvaro Saborio, who missed the Western Conference finals because of injury, scored for Real Salt Lake in the 52nd minute, but Collin answered with a header in the 76th minute.

It remained 1-1 through regulation and 30 minutes of overtime, and then the teams engaged in the longest penalty-kick shootout in championship history — one that both sides had chances to win before Collin’s shot and Jimmy Nielsen’s save left Sporting KC with the 7-6 victory.

Vonn attacks more on 2nd day, finishes 11th

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta

Saying she felt “much more like myself” than in her season debut a day earlier, Lindsey Vonn finished 11th in a World Cup downhill Saturday. The four-time overall World Cup champion came down the hill with a far more attacking style in the second race of a comeback from reconstructive surgery on her right knee in February.

“That was much better. A lot more like it,” said Vonn, whose time was 1 minute, 56.35 seconds.

On an afternoon when the temperature at the finish line was below minus-15 degrees, Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany crossed in 1:55.09 to win a second consecutive downhill and take the lead in the overall World Cup standings.
