| Golf: Snedeker misses European Tour magic number by a whisker Saturday, Nov 03, 2012 12:00 AM PDT SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) - American Brandt Snedeker fell agonizingly short of becoming the first golfer to shoot a sub-60 round at a European Tour event after he misread his putt at the HSBC-WGC Champions on Saturday. Snedeker was within an inch of creating a small slice of golfing history during the third round when the 31-year-old stood over a 20-foot putt on the 18th green at Mission Hills. Had he holed it, he would have become the first player to shoot the first sub-60 score in one of golf's World Championship events. ... Full Story | Top |

| Clippers heap more misery on winless Lakers Friday, Nov 02, 2012 10:59 PM PDT (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Clippers piled more misery on their cross-town rivals with a 105-95 win over the Lakers at the Staples Center on Friday. Despite the addition of high-profile recruits Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, the Lakers were 0-8 in preseason and have started the NBA regular season with three straight defeats -- their worst start since the 1978-79 campaign. Nash did not start on Friday due to a contusion on his left leg but it is doubtful whether his presence would have helped the Lakers break down a tough Clippers unit, who improved to 2-0 to start the season. ...
