Anthony Kim matched the best score of the week with a 5-under 67, taking a one-shot lead when Jim Furyk found the water for double bogey on the 18th hole yesterday at the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Kim was worried about rust coming off a five-week break, but his putter worked just fine in making six birdies. He was at 8-under 208.

Furyk made back-to-back birdies to regain the lead, but from a tough stance in the rough, his approach came up well short and into the pond in front of the 18th green. That led to double bogey for a 70, but still put him in range of another win in the silly season.

Kim will try to make it 2 for 2 in tournaments with Tiger Woods as the host. He also won the AT&T National this year at Congressional.

Lee Westwood shot a 4-under 68 to take a two-stroke lead after the third round of the South African Open Championship in Paarl. Westwood made four birdies in a bogey-free round to reach 14-under 202, while overnight leader Michael Lorenzo-Vera of France had a 72 and is tied for second with Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin (69). Ernie Els slipped out of contention with a 77.

Nikolai Valuev (51-1) ended any hope of Evander Holyfield (42-10-2) winning a fifth heavyweight title, narrowly defending his WBA title by majority decision in Zurich, Switzerland. Holyfield, 46, started the fight brightly, moving around the ring to neutralize Valuev's long reach advantage. The 7-foot Russian, the tallest and heaviest champion in history, struggled to close down Holyfield but began asserting his jab as the fight progressed. One judge scored the bout a draw, while the others had Valuev winning, 116-112 and 115-114.

A late crash by Apolo Anton Ohno allowed Travis Jayner to win the 500-meter final at the U.S. Short Track Speed Skating Championship in Chesterfield, Mo. The wild finish completed a confusing race that the referee ordered rerun after Ohno fell and took two competitors with him. Ohno was in the lead when he tripped over a block coming out of the final turn of the final lap and took Jordan Malone to the ice. Jayner won in 43.958 seconds and Malone recovered to take second in 44.498. He was followed by Ohno and J.R. Celski. Kimberly Derrick captured a smoothly run women's final.

With Bode Miller leading the way, U.S. skiers dominated a World Cup race in Val Gardena, Italy. Miller wonders if his decision to race independently quickened the development of some of his former teammates. Miller finished second to Austria's Michael Walchhofer in the classic Saslong downhill. Miller was 0.38 seconds behind the winning time of 1:50.57. Miller led a record contingent of five Americans in the top 10. He also revived the defense of his overall World Cup title, moving up to ninth in the standings from 13th.

The Uruguayan Football Association suspended the final weekend of a tumultuous season due to ongoing fan violence. The association did not state when or if the final round of games would be played.

Crews imploded the RCA Dome in Indianapolis just after 9:30 a.m. by setting off 800 charges to bring down the facility's upper floors in about 25 seconds. The stadium was originally named the Hoosier Dome and had stood on the city's skyline since 1984. The old dome is making way for an expanded convention center.
