PARAMUS, N.J. — Jim Furyk, the world’s #6 golfer, has been disqualified from The Barclays this weekend for missing his 7:30 a.m. EDT tee time for Wednesday’s pro-am. Professional golfer, Jim Furyk, is rated #6 in the world.
Furyk said that he overslept Wednesday after his cell phone alarm clock lost power overnight which caused him to be late for his pro-am tee time in The Barclays. Due to a PGA Tour policy on pro-ams adopted in 2004, PGA Tour officials had no choice but to disqualify him.
According to Micheal S. Schmidt of the New York Times, Roger Clemens will be indicted for perjury. An official announcement is expected shortly. Roger Clemens testified to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs Feb 13, 2008.
The indictment comes nearly two and half years after Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee testified under oath at a hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, directly contradicting each other about whether Clemens had used the banned substances.
The committee held the hearing in February 2008, just two months after McNamee first tied Clemens to the use of the substances in George J. Mitchell’s report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. After Mitchell released the report, Clemens launched an attack on McNamee, saying he made up the allegations.
Federal authorities had McNamee cooperate with federal authorities in 2008 to avoid charging him with steroid distribution.
