Thousands of cyclists flood Denpasar

Denpasar, Bali - Thousands of cyclists flooded Denpasar on Sunday to mark the first anniversary of the Bicycle Joint Secretariat (Samas).

Among the cyclists were Denpasar Mayor I B Rai Mantra and Bangli District Head Made Gianyar.

The event was part of the activities to ensure the success of a car-free day campaign launched by the Denpasar mayor in 2009, Dewa Made Merthakota, chairman of the event`s organizing committee, said.

Dewa said he would never give up to encourage the public to lead a healthy and economic life through a car-free day program.

Themed cycling, green and unity program, the event was designed to campaign for the use of bicycles as one of the cheap and environmentally friendly transportation modes, he said.

What was more, the municipal government had provided special lanes on certain roads in the city to make the car-free day program a success, he said.

Dewa said at least 90 groups of cyclists were ready to join the secretariat, meaning that the public had high interests to have bicycles as cheap and environmentally friendly transportation means.

The international community were trying to deal with the impact of global warming by among others reducing carbon dioxide emissions, he said.

Therefore, cycling was one of the most profitable alternatives to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, he said. (S012/S026)

Kaiserslauters scrape past Osnabrueck in German Cup

Berlin - Bundesliga newcomers Kaiserslautern scored twice in extra time to win 3-2 and edge past second division VfL Osnabrueck in their German Cup first round tie on Friday.

Hosts Osnabrueck, who last season advanced as a third division team to the quarter-finals after eliminating Hamburg SV and Borussia Dortmund, took a 20th minute lead through Sebastian Tyrala`s thundering 25-metre drive.

Kaiserslautern were gifted an equaliser deep in stoppage time when Osnabrueck failed to clear the ball allowing Srdjan Lakic to volley home.

The visitors added two more through Austrian Erwin Hoffer in extra time before Bjoern Lindemann, who had missed a good chance in the 85th minute to seal Osnabrueck`s win, pulled one back five minutes before the end of the extra period.

The only other Bundesliga club in action on Friday, Eintracht Frankfurt, eased past SV Wilhelmshaven 4-0 while title holders Bayern Munich are in action on Monday taking on fifth division team Germania Windeck. (Uu.A008/F005/P003)

Will Tiger win 18 Major C’ships?

By Dale Dhillon

Tiger Woods has been focused on reaching and possibly breaching the 18 major championship win mark established by Jack Nicklaus since his first major championship win in 1997.

However, Woods has been stuck at 14 major wins since June 2008, when he miraculously hobbled around Torrey Pines, San Diego practically on one leg to win the US Open.

Immediately after that victory he was asked about being four wins away from the record when he said: “Well, only being four back, it’s hard to believe I’m in this situation, you know? It’s hard to believe I’ve had this nice a run in my career. And hopefully it will continue. I’m going to keep practicing, keep trying to grind and get better.”

That was then! He sat out the remaining two major championships of 2008 due to knee surgery and rehabilitation. He’s played in seven majors since and not tasted victory once.

In 2009 he suffered a stunning loss to unheralded Y.E. Yang after holding a two stroke lead going into the final round of the PGA Championship. This was a turning point in his historic domination of major championships.

Tiger appeared numb as he approached the scorer’s tent as his wife Elin and two children looked on. It was surreal to observe a relatively unknown player in Yang steal a major championship right from under Tiger’s nose.

He managed to close 2009 winning the PGA’s year long Fedex Cup along with a king’s ransom of US$10 million. This “king” would have gladly traded his $10 million for a major championship in 2009, a paltry sum compared to his $1 billion in record earnings.

The news that shook the golf world broke before his 35th birthday in December last year. It’s been a sordid saga not to be rehashed here.

Tiger’s doubters however are back in vogue. There are those who say that his multiple knee injuries, surgeries and other physical ailments will stifle his chances of making and breaking Jack’s mark.

Tiger approaches his 36th birthday in December and there is concern that few players have managed to win multiple majors beyond that age. There are some that question his desire to win. I do not believe there is a deficit in desire.

If anything, Tiger knows the best way to redeem himself is to win and there is no better remedy than winning a major championship.

He recently said at the US Open at Pebble Beach his game is coming together: “I feel like I put some pieces together this week. It’s a process. It’s a long process, but I’ve put some of it together, and I hit some shots this week that I haven’t hit in a long time.”

Heading into the British Open (where he finished 23rd) he was asked if after all he’s been through he would change anything in his approach to winning a major.

He said: “Yeah, nothing changes. I know what it takes to be ready, and I know what it takes to win major championships. Just need to get to that point and put it all together at the right time.”

There’s no doubt the roller coaster turmoil in his life has taken a toll on his game. At the AT&T National in Philadelphia recently he failed to break par in 3 consecutive rounds, something he had not done in 12 years.

Yes, the unexpected happens in golf even to Tiger Woods these days. Woods is looking for his elusive 15th major win and will have his final shot in 2010 at The PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin in mid-August. He finished 24th the last time the event was played there in 2004.

He may not win at Whistling Straits but his odds at tying Nicklaus’s record of 18 major wins are still good. He’s finished within striking distance in 4th place in two of the three majors he’s played so far in 2010 amidst all the fanfare.

We must not forget that he has won 14 of the 49 major championships he has played in, which is approximately 29 percent.

Time, however is not his ally. On the other hand he only needs to win ¼ of the 16 majors he plays before he turns 40.

If anyone can do it, it’s Tiger Woods but only if he can make golf his only professional pursuit. Nicklaus, the man that Tiger is pursuing has a different perspective.

When asked about Woods recently he said: “We have no idea what his neck issue is. We have no idea if his knee is bothering him. We have no idea whether he’s got his head screwed on properly because of his private affairs.”

Nicklaus anticipates however that Woods would pass his record if he is able to win at least one major this year. We should get that answer in three weeks.

Caddy sees no split with Tiger Woods

Steve Williams doesn't believe his job as Tiger Woods' caddie is under any threat, despite media speculation about their 11-year association and concern over the golfer's form.

Williams told New Zealand radio Wednesday that he and Woods remain close friends and there is no possibility their working relationship is about to end.

"I'm sure if there was going to be some sort of parting of the ways, I'd be the first to know," he said. "From my point of view, I don't see any chance of that happening."

Williams said Woods had no plans to change his key personnel, though he has struggled to regain form after taking a break from the PGA Tour amid revelations of marital infidelities.

"People speculate. He's not playing well and his results aren't what we're used to," Williams, of New Zealand, said. "Tiger and I are very good friends and we've been through a tough time. There's no question about that.

"I'm fully supportive of the guy and he's been great through this whole situation with me."

Woods consulted with swing coach Sean Foley at the PGA, but it's unclear whether he will work with him full time.

"He hasn't decided if that's the coach who's going to be with him, but I really like what this new guy had to say and what his theories are," Williams said. "If Tiger decides to stick with Sean, I believe he'll get better. It might take a little while."

Woods finished 28th at last week's PGA Championship in Wisconsin, a week after posting the worst 72-hole total of his career - 18 over par - at the Bridgestone Invitational event in Ohio.

Williams said nobody should rush to the conclusion Woods was losing his ability or his aura.

"At the end of the day, Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods," Williams said. "He's won 14 majors and 71 PGA Tour events. Regardless of what's gone on, you can't take that away from the guy.

"Tiger knows how to win and people know that he knows how to win. When he gets back in the situation where he's playing well again and he's in contention to win, he'll get the job done."

Williams said Woods remained hopeful of being selected by U.S. captain Corey Pavin for the Ryder Cup.

"It's one of the biggest events in the world and anybody that's played in it before always has the desire to play in it again," Williams said. "We've got a couple more weeks to show him (Pavin) that he's playing better."
