Tiger Woods is going to have to wait one more day to try to reclaim the No. 1 world ranking.
Moments after Woods made a 10-foot birdie putt on the second hole, a vicious thunderstorm packing gusts that topped out at 62 mph interrupted the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla., and wiped out play until Monday.
The storm dumped nearly 1?1/2 inches on Bay Hill and formed small ponds in the fairways -- there was even a fish in the middle of the 18th fairway. The wind toppled the TV tower behind the 10th green, which was a pile of metal poles, wood, mesh netting and had a stationary camera in the middle of it all.
Woods is going after his eighth win at Bay Hill, which would return him to No. 1 for the first time since October 2010.
He hit all of six shots Sunday, enough to build a three-shot lead over Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley, John Huh and Ken Duke.
"At least we got a little activity in today, so we're not completely stagnant," Woods said. "We've dealt with this before."
There was plenty of action on a short day, none more bizarre than Sergio Garcia.
The Spaniard's tee shot on the 10th hole came to rest about 15 feet up in an oak tree, sitting between two large branches. Garcia used a cart to jump into the tree, and after a few minutes, hit a one-handed backhand shot to the fairway. He then jumped from about eight feet to the ground.
LPGA: Beatriz Recari
sank an 18-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the second hole of a playoff with I.K. Kim to win the Kia Classic in Carlsbad.After Recari and Kim three-putted No. 18 both in regulation and on the first playoff hole, Recari ended it for her first victory since her rookie season of 2010.
Recari, who brought a two-stroke lead into the day, had a chance to win in regulation. But, like Kim in the twosome ahead of her, she three-putted the par-4 18th. Recari closed with a 2-over 74 to match Kim at 9 under at Aviara. Kim shot a 71.
Champions Tour: Michael Allen rallied to win the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic in Saucier, Miss., for his fourth Champions Tour title, shooting a 5-under-par 67.
