ing state Class A champion Baldwinsville last Thursday night at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium, the first time these two sides had met since last season’s Section III final.

Now, as then, the Bees proved overwhelming in the first half, amassing 15 goals on the way to a 19-9 victory led by the trio of Sophia Muscolino (six goals, two assists), Carlie Desimone (five goals, three assists) and Brianna Peters (five goals, two assists), When it did get chances, Liverpool had Mia Berthoff score four times, with Gianna Carbone adding a pair of goals. Abby Geary, Cailtyn Guilfoil and Emma Esposito had one goal apiece.

Two days later, Liverpool faced another reigning sectional champion, Class C power Jamesville-DeWitt, and played close most of the way, yet still lost 12-10 to the Red Rams.

Even with Carbone’s five goals, Liverpool fell to 4-6 overall. Guilfoil got two goals as Berthoff, Esposito and Addyson Graham each scored once. Macy Durkin, Merris Kessler (four goals each) and Caroline Stone (five assists) led J-D.

Will Tiger win another pga tour event?

I hope I am wrong, but I don’t believe Tiger Woods will ever win another “Major” or another tournament on the PGA Tour and it will not be because of his age(47)….

On April 19, 2023, Tiger underwent a “subtalar fusion procedure” to address his traumatic arthritis from his previous “talus fracture”. Dr. Martin O’Malley who performed the surgery determined the surgery was successful. Does this mean that we will see Tiger perform in more PGA Tournaments? I say…absolutely yes, but probably “not” in the PGA Championship next month at Oak Hill in Rochester, but don’t be surprised to see him in the US Open and the British Open (The Open). He “will” play in more PGA tournaments because he will do whatever is necessary to successfully rehabilitate any injury he incurs, Once he starts swinging a club the golf world will “again” anticipate his return to competitive golf just as the people of the Philippines anticipated the return of General Douglas McArthur to liberate them during World War II. You may remember McArthur saying, “I shall return” during a speech on TV to the people of the Philippines. I do…I heard his entire speech and it was inspiring. Tiger has had the same effect on golfers around the world since 1996 when he first joined the PGA Tour. Will Tiger play at a “high level” again? Yes, I believe he will play at a “high level” again because he is Tiger Woods and we expect him to play and be competitive. And when he isn’t competitive, we will thoroughly enjoy watching him hit another one of his spectacular golf shots, just to get our attention. The reason he will not win is because of the following issues with his “body”…not his “mind” or his “age.”

IN 1994… He had two benign tumors and scar tissue removed from his left knee while he was attending Stanford University.

IN 2002… Fluid is removed from inside and outside the ACL of his left knee as well as benign cysts.

IN 2008… After the Masters in April, he had surgery on his left knee to repair his left knee to repair cartilage damage. In May he is told by his doctors he had two stress fractures in his left tibia. In June, he won the US Open playing on his injured leg before undergoing surgery to repair his left ACL using a tendon from his right thigh.

IN 2014… He withdrew from two tournaments in the Florida swing and has surgery on a pinched nerve in his back.

IN 2015… He has two microdiscectomy surgeries in September on his back to remove bone fragments that were pinching a nerve. In October, he has another back surgery.

IN 2017… He had his 4th back surgery for a spinal fusion in April.

IN 2019… He had arthroscopic surgery in August to his left knee that was described as minor cartilage damage. It was his 5th procedure on his knee.

IN 2021… He again had back surgery in January, which was another microdiscectomy to remove a bone fragment that was pinching a nerve. A month later he was involved in a car accident that broke his right leg and ankle that required surgery to insert a rod into his tibia and screws and pins into his foot and ankle.

IN 2023… After making the cut at the Masters and tying the Cut Streak Record of 23 with Fred Couples and Gary Player, he had to withdraw because he re-aggravated his plantar fasciitis. (see 2nd paragraph).

Tiger Woods is a remarkable athlete and I consider myself lucky to have followed his career beginning with his first television appearance at the age of two, with his father Earl, when they appeared on the Mike Douglas Show.

Tiger will not win another tournament on the PGA Tour, but I hope and prey he will decide to play on the PGA CHAMPIONS TOUR when he turns 50 and win at least 3-4 tournaments every year for at least 10 years before retiring. YOUR THOUGHTS?
