Pitt lands defensive end
Pitt landed its first football commitment from a high school prospect since the early signing period when defensive end Kaymar Mimes from Long Branch, N.J., chose the Panthers according to PantherLair.com.
Mimes, 6 feet 5, 235 pounds, was previously pledged to Rutgers.
One reason for the switch was coach Pat Narduzzi, who coached Mimes’ older brother at Michigan State when he was defensive coordinator there.

Golf
In his first PGA Tour event in a year because of a fourth back surgery, Tiger Woods mixed a few mistakes with a few shots that looked familiar with an even-par 72 in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open. “It was fun to compete again. It was fun to be out there,” Woods said. But he was seven shots behind Tony Finau, who led with a 65 on the North Course at Torrey Pines.
