Tiger Woods' three-shot victory at the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Mich., gave the PGA Tour event a 167 percent ratings boost from a year ago, when Woods was recovering from knee surgery and did not play. CBS Sports said yesterday its overnight rating was 4.0 with a 9 share, up from a 1.5 rating and a 3 share in 2008.

It was the highest final-round rating for the Buick Open since it received a 4.3 with a 10 share in '06, which Woods won. CBS' overnight ratings increased 100 percent from the previous year when Woods won the Memorial and 200 percent when he won the AT&T National. He missed both tournaments last year.

Four other players -- Roland Thatcher, Ben Crane, Stephen Leaney and John Merrick -- also withdrew. The replacements are Olin Browne, Mark Hensby, Robert Gamez, Dan Forsman, Craig Barlow and Brent Geiberger.

Two Scottish players were among the 10 selected for the Britain-Ireland team that will face the United States in the Walker Cup next month in Merion, Pa. Wallace Booth and Gavin Dear helped Scotland win the Eisenhower Trophy in October in Australia. They were chosen for the Sept. 12-13 amateur event with Tommy Fleetwood, Luke Goddard, Matt Haines, Stiggy Hodgson, Sam Hutsby, Niall Kearney, Chris Paisley and Dale Whitnell. The squad will change if a British or Irish player wins the U.S. Amateur title Aug. 24-30.
