Cut and Run

It was a tough weekend for those playing in the Corona Championship as a deadly outbreak of swine flu swept Mexico, claiming more than 100 lives as of Monday. The situation meant that Corona was one week when players didn't mind missing the cut. Kraft Nabisco champion Brittany Lincicome (right) told Golf Channel that she felt lucky to leave Mexico early and get home to Seminole, Fla., before the risk level was raised over the weekend. So far no players have reported symptoms. Jane Park withdrew after the second round because she was ill, but felt her stomach problems had to do with something she ate.
