GOLF

The PGA Tour will have to wait for the 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods. In a pre-qualifier event Thursday in Florida, Charlie Woods took a 12 on one hole and shot 86.

Woods didn’t make a birdie during his round at one of four pre-qualifier sites for the Cognizant Classic. About two dozen players combined from the four sites moved on to Monday’s qualifier, with four players earning a spot in the PGA Tour event.

Woods ran into early trouble with a pair of bogeys and a double bogey on the par-5 fifth. Then, on the seventh with water down the right side and water behind the green, he shot a 12. Woods made the turn in 47.

BASKETBALL

G LEAGUE: Dereon Seabron drove the baseline for the winning layup with 1.2 seconds remaining to give the Birmingham Squadron (9-12) a 127-125 victory against the visiting Maine Celtics (11-10).

DJ Steward then took an off-balance 3-pointer from the right corner that was partially blocked as the game ended.

Maine led 62-54 at halftime before the Squadron used a 36-27 run in the third quarter to set up a close game down the stretch.

Joe Weiskamp scored 36 points for the Celtics. JD Davison added 28 and Drew Peterson had 18. Malcolm Hill led Birmingham with 27.

NBA: Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart was suspended three games without pay by the NBA for punching and pushing Phoenix Suns forward/center Drew Eubanks.

Stewart and Eubanks had a confrontation Feb. 14 before a game. Eubanks said it happened as he entered the arena. He said an argument ensued and the two were chest-to-chest before Stewart threw the punch and security intervened. Phoenix police said that Stewart was arrested for assault, issued a citation and released.

HOCKEY

NHL: Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone could be out for an extended period with an injury Coach Bruce Cassidy said wasn’t related to his surgically repaired back.

TENNIS

DUBAI CHAMPIONSHIPS: Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova held a 6-2, 5-1 lead against Sorana Cirstea in the quarterfinals, then squandered six match points and lost, 2-6, 7-6 (1), 6-2.

“This has to be the biggest comeback of my career,” said Cirstea, who also beat Vondrousova in two previous meetings. “To be honest, at a set and 5-1, I wasn’t really thinking about winning anymore. I was like, make it nicer for the public, try to make it a little bit longer, try to give them a little bit of nicer tennis. I still don’t know how I managed it.”

EQUESTRIAN

CHAMPION CLEARED: Kevin Staut, a former Olympic champion, was cleared by a French court of assaulting his former partner, according to his lawyer.
