GOLF

PGA: Tiger Woods said he will not play in the AT&T National next week as he recovers from injuries to his left leg, but he will attend the tournament, which benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation.

He said he feels stronger but is still not 100 percent.

Woods, who has slipped to No. 17 in the world ranking, has not completed a tournament since he tied for fourth at the Masters.

SOCCER

BASEBALL: Taylor Hill and Corey Williams combined on a four-hitter, Connor Harrell and Curt Casali homered and Vanderbilt eliminated North Carolina from the College World Series with a 5-1 victory at Omaha, Neb.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Georgetown hired former Binghamton coach Kevin Broadus as a special assistant. Hoyas Coach John Thompson III said Broadus will serve as an aide but will not be on the road recruiting.

Binghamton bought out Broadus’ contract for $1.2 million in October, a year after he was suspended by the school when an outside review found he circumvented standards to get a player enrolled and lobbied for a player’s grade to be changed.
