Woods largely confused in jail video

Dufner sets 36-hole mark in Memorial Tournament

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Video from a Florida jail shows a barefoot and handcuffed Tiger Woods performing two breath tests after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

In video released Friday by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Woods uses the slurred speech and unsteadine­ss described by Jupiter Police who arrested him early Monday.

Woods mumbles responses to an officer’s questions, describing his hair as “mostly brown and fading.”

Woods asks what the case is about and repeatedly needs instructio­ns to blow into the breath machine. The officer and breath-test technician laugh when Woods says he “can’t unlock my two bracelets.”

While seated and handcuffed, Wood agrees to a urine test but asks, “How am I going to hold it?”

The breath tests registered a 0.0 blood-alcohol level. Woods has blamed “an unexpected reaction to prescribed medication­s.”

PGA TOUR: In Dublin, Ohio, Jason Dufner wants to put together more than just a few good rounds at the Memorial this week. The first two rounds put him in the record book.

Dufner holed out from the 18th fairway and then added three more birdies on the front nine for another 7-under 65. That set the 36-hole record at Muirfield Village and gave him a five-shot lead over Ricki Fowler among the early starters Friday.

Dufner was at 14-under 130, one better than the 36-hole score of Scott Hoch in 1987 and Fowler in 2010. Neither won the tournament.

Fowler, who was 3 over after his opening four holes of the tournament, had a66 and was at 8-under 136.

Jordan Spieth, one shot behind Dufner after the opening round, played in the afternoon.

LPGA TOUR: In Galloway Township, N.J., Anna Nordqvist showed that she knows how to get around Stockton Seaview — and likes the view from atop the ShopRite Classic leader board.

The two-time defending champion shot a 7-under 64 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the 54-hole event near Atlantic City.

“It just really fits my eye,” Nordqvist said. “I have so many good memories here, obviously. It almost feels like home now with a lot of supporters and a lot of friends here.”

She’s trying to join fellow Swede Annika Sorenstam as the only three-time winner.

Moriya Jutanugarn, Jeong Eun Lee, Jenny Shin and Jennifer Song were tied for second, and Paula Creamer, Pornanong Phatlum and In-Kyung Kim followed at 66.
