Notah Begay III couldn’t have scripted it any better. TIGER WOODS Picture © Getty Images With more than 3,000 awestruck fans watching his every move, Tiger Woods captured the second annual Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge on Monday, surging past Camilo Villegas in the closing holes at Turning Stone Resort’s Atunyote Golf Club. After Villegas won $180,000 with a birdie at the 14th hole to boost his winnings for the day to $200,000 in the skins game format, Woods won the next three holes to finish with $230,000. Begay birdied No. 18 for $70,000, while Canada’s Mike Weir was shut out for the second ... Read Full Story

Notah Begay III was nearly at a loss for words. “I am humbled,” Begay said Monday in announcing that Tiger Woods, his former roommate at Stanford University, would play in a skins game in August to benefit Native American children. “You come up with certain ideas and sometimes they come true.
