By DOUG FERGUSON (AP Golf Writer) PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods never did it. Neither did Jack Nicklaus, even before The Players Championship found its home in a former swamp now known as the TPC Sawgrass. This is the 50th edition of the PGA Tour’s premier championship, and no one has ever defended his title. Next up is Scottie Scheffler, and the odds are as much in his favor as any of the previous winners. That includes Woods, who only got one crack at it in 2002, didn’t break 70 and tied for 14th. “I just think…

The season-long goal of hosting games in the NCAA Tournament was seemingly jeopardized when the Colorado women’s basketball team lost to Oregon State in the Pac-12 quarterfinals on March 7. Nothing is official until the 68-team bracket is revealed on Sunday, but the 18th-ranked Buffaloes haven’t given up hope of hosting games at the CU Events Center. In fact, CU is much more likely to host than it seemed when it left Las Vegas because numerous dominoes have fallen their way. “A lot,” CU center Aaronette Vonleh said when asked how much scoreboard watching she’s been doing over the past…

Colorado’s enigmatic representative, Ken Buck, has again defied expectations, announcing his early retirement from Congress with a parting shot on CNN — “I think this place is dysfunctional … instead of having decorum, instead of operating in a professional manner, this place has just devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people.” Buck’s early departure at first blush seems carefully calculated to keep Lauren Boebert from becoming his successor in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District on the eastern plains. She landed in the district as a carpetbagger after almost losing to a Democrat…
