Die Allianz T-D-P » e fifth and final Mountaineer in a Swee

Stage fright. Health. Confidence. These are just a few of the obstacles Tiger Woods faces this week in his anticipated return to competitive golf.So what else can we expect from the 14-time major winner? Our panel samples all things Tiger for this weeks edition of Monday Four-Ball.1. What will be the hardest obstacle for Tiger to overcome this week?SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman: Confidence. From everything we are hearing, Tiger is physically ready to go. We arent talking about just another player. We are talking about the confidence to be a top-shelf player again. I am not talking about 2000 Tiger, but Tiger is special. Can he have the confidence in himself to be competitive and beat guys like Jordan Spieth or Jason Day? I dont care who you are -- confidence can help you overcome so much.ESPN.com senior golf writer Michael Collins: By teeing it up for four straight competitive rounds, hell be overcoming the hardest obstacle hes had to face -- time. Nothing is more difficult for a golfer than having to sit out and wait to get healthy. Besides that, trusting the new golf ball will be a big obstacle as well. Remember, it took Rory McIlroy a year to win after he switched golf ball companies.ESPN.com senior golf writer Bob Harig: His own expectations. Most realize that a 15-month break due to physical issues requires a grace period. Woods himself knows that. And yet, he admitted Sunday that his competitiveness makes it very difficult to not try to compete.ESPN.com senior golf writer Jason Sobel: Believe it or not, stage fright. As he told Bob Harig on the range Sunday, Tiger is going to feel some butterflies this week. Hell need to rise above it. Harvest the good energy and block out the bad. Its one thing to post a good score on his home course in complete privacy, or stripe drives on an empty range. Its another to do that with people watching all over the world.2. What do you make of Woods decision to change golf balls for the Hero World Challenge?Coachman: Tiger says it all starts with the ball. I am a little surprised he didnt go for Titleist, but leave it to Tiger to go against the grain. At some point he had to make the change, and why not do it out of the box in a small event in the Bahamas instead of waiting for a full-field event in the new year?Collins: Its a smart move to do it now so he can find out exactly how the ball will feel when he hits shots in tournament conditions. The hope is he will get in situations that he hasnt practiced for, so then hell learn exactly how the ball reacts on those ticklish shots that require the most nerve.Harig: It makes sense because Nike is no longer going to be making a golf ball. He needed to find something else, and its quite likely the Bridgestone ball he is using this week possesses very similar characteristics to what hes been using.Sobel: Good for him. Nikes decision to leave the equipment game opened the door for all of the players previously under contract to sample new things. If Tiger showed up this week with the same Nike ball and same equipment, it would show he either hasnt tested new stuff or doesnt care enough to switch. I like the fact that hes willing to explore whats out there.3. With so many questions surrounding Tiger, which one is the most important to answer this week?Coachman: For me, it would be Does his back pass the test? Once he gets through four rounds of walking and swinging, I honestly dont care where he finishes in the field. I just care that he finishes. He disappointed all of us when he didnt play at the Safeway Open in October, but if he comes out with a great attitude and in great physical condition, people will forget that very, very quickly.Collins: Most importantly for Tiger, how does he feel, health-wise, after every round? And then how does he feel after the tournament is over? Could he play again the following week? The health of his back, and health overall, will be the biggest question that needs answering this week.Harig: Can he play 72 holes without pain and discomfort? Getting through an entire week -- including practice, the pro-am and all of his other duties associated with the event -- should be considered a good first step in his comeback.Sobel: Can he legitimately walk 72 holes and post a decent score? I know that doesnt sound like much, but I saw where one betting parlor is taking nearly even money on Tiger retiring by the end of next year and has set the over/under on his number of starts at 6.5. People really seem to think hes done. That, if anything, is what he needs to disprove. This isnt about the result.4. Are you taking the over or the under of 72.5 for Tigers first-round score at the Hero World Challenge?Coachman: I am taking the under. I choose to believe in his greatness. I know one round doesnt determine that, but I think he is determined to come out of the box and show the world that he has his game right away. I believe he will shoot even par or better in his first round on Thursday.Collins: Over. Weve heard the, flushing it, crushing it, puring it on the range song way too many times before, followed by a 78. Tiger shooting par or better after 15 months off is a bit too much to ask even for a guy considered by many, including me, to be the GOAT.Harig: Over. Not because an under-par score is impossible. Who knows, perhaps Tiger shoots in the 60s. But this will be the first time in 15 months hell have a pencil and scorecard in his hand when it matters.Sobel: That sounds about right. Ill take a round of exactly 72.5. All right, considering theres no half-stroke at stake, Ill take the under. Why? Well, I do believe he wants to prove people wrong and will be amped up to compete again. But it has more to do with this: The early Thursday forecast calls for 81 degrees with a 40 percent chance of rain and only a 5-10 mph breeze. Thats called scoring conditions.

Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1.

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. At almost the same moment on an August afternoon that West Virginia played its season opener against Penn State, beginning a journey that now finds it two wins from its first national championship, the teams best player was otherwise occupied winning an Olympic bronze medal a hemisphere away.As the Mountaineers concluded that first week with a game against Buffalo, Kadeisha Buchanan instead soaked in the Olympic closing ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro. She even met Usain Bolt.Which is to say that from the outset this season, Buchanan ran in different circles than your typical college senior.Different circles than even your typical All-American, for that matter.But it is what Buchanan has done since arriving back in Morgantown from Rio that makes the defender espnWs national player of the year. After a tie in their opening game without her, the Mountaineers have gone 21-1-1 with her in the lineup. They shut out the Big 12 for an entire conference season, allowing nary a goal in eight consecutive games. They earned the programs first No. 1 seed and survived both snow and foes to reach their first College Cup.Center backs rarely get to be stars. The position is responsible as much for defusing highlights before they occur as creating them in their own right. But already a World Cup and Olympic veteran for Canada at the age of 21, Buchanan cant help but be the center of attention for West Virginia. Her command of a craft stands out like, well, Bolt sprinting away from the pack in Rio. None of her peers do it as well as she does it.She is a soccer mind, West Virginia coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. Shes commanding. She knows where everyone needs to be. Shes directing, shes orchestrating. Coaches will always tell you that they need great leadership to be successful, and thats exactly what we have in Keisha back there.It is difficult to quantify what makes a defender special, let alone the best player in the nation. Though they may score goals, as Buchanan has three times this season, and make themselves useful on set pieces, compiling statistics isnt a center backs primary work. Beyond the mere eye test, assessing Buchanan is a process of deduction. West Virginia has the second-stingiest defense in the nation. Buchanan is the teams best defender, backed up by an international pedigree that includes being named the best young player in the 2015 World Cup and a member of FIFAs all-star team for that tournament.Someone to whom all that applies, who North Carolina coach Anson Dorrance suggested might be the best center back in the nation -- a few weeks into her freshman season -- must be pretty good, right?Yet no matter how brilliant her soccer mind or impressive her athleticism, a defender will struggle to excel alone. Maybe more than any other position, a center back is dependent on the collective. And it is in that regard that Buchanan has grown from an amazing talent into a world-class player. Gone is the quiet reserve of a 17-year-old freshman who just wanted to play, not speak or lead.When shees telling someone to move, theyre moving, Izzo-Brown said of what she sees now.dddddddddddd And people respond so well to her, and understand that she knows the game so well, that she is our fourth coach out there. ...Its like having a coach behind your team coaching.Even if leading from behind isnt exactly what Buchanan hoped for in Morgantown. It may be a myth that a frustrated striker inhabits the soul of every great defender, but Buchanan wont help dispel it. She had already debuted for the senior Canadian national team by the time she arrived at West Virginia, having previously earned a reputation as an up-and-coming defender on youth national teams. So she knew her role in college would likely follow that same route. But with a veteran back line already in place for the Mountaineers, the former striker for her club team hoped she might get some of the goals for herself.Those dreams died very quickly, Buchanan said. I knew coming into West Virginia that I was going to play center back. I kind of wanted to play forward, but Coach didnt let me. I got over it.Her tongue-in-cheek tone made it clear it wasnt an entirely serious lament. Not entirely.But twice this season the Mountaineers have needed Buchanan to revive her old skills.Down 2-0 at halftime against TCU in the Big 12 tournament final, matching the number of goals they conceded in the 12 games immediately preceding that contest, the Mountaineers pushed Buchanan into the attack in the second half. With a little more than a minute remaining in regulation, she scored the tying goal that brought on overtime and teammate Ashley Lawrences eventual winner.That was a game the Mountaineers very much wanted, the opportunity to sweep the conference tournament and regular-season titles. Then, when Buchanan stepped to a snowy spot as the fifth and final Mountaineer in a Sweet 16 penalty shootout against UCLA, a goal was a necessity.In a shootout for the first time since the 2014 tournament, when West Virginia lost to Georgetown, Buchanan lined up an attempt. Izzo-Brown said she asked Buchanan if she wanted to be on the list of takers. Buchanan didnt hesitate. She drilled the ball into the net, turned and leaped into the air as onrushing teammates swarmed her.West Virginia is most comfortable when its season is at her feet.Although she knew of the College Cup growing up -- plenty of Canadian national team players were veterans of NCAA championships in the United States -- it wasnt until a second-round loss against Virginia Tech her freshman year that she fully felt its importance. It is the biggest prize she can win in this uniform.Ive got to get one before I leave, Buchanan recalled thinking.She has since starred in a World Cup on home soil and won a bronze medal in the Olympics.And in her final college season, the best player in the nation has done all she can to give herself a chance at a different trophy.
