That would be the Ryder Cup, the international competition that this year will be held in two months in Scotland. There is no guarantee at this point Woods will make the U.S. team. His place likely depends on being chosen by captain Tom Watson. Asked if he would be inclined to pick him if were in Watson’s position, Woods said with a smile, “I would say yes.” Never mind that Woods, 38, finished at 6-over 294, matching his highest score in the British Open....

There is a pair of infielders worth your attention. First is the Red Sox' Brock Holt (25 percent), who has acquired 1B, 3B, and OF eligibility. He's not a big power guy (one homer in 139 at-bats), so you'll want to avoid using him as a first baseman, but his .338/.377/.468 triple-slash line is still nice at the hot corner. He batted .307 in 1800-plus minor league at-bats, so hitting for average is something that Holt may be able to keep up -- albeit, not at this current level....
