He said he had a minimally invasive Achilles' tendon repair for a ruptured tendon that the doctor said went smoothly. Such surgeries involve smaller incisions, and the recovery time is quicker. But most recoveries take at least a month before someone can even put weight on their foot.

Woods had a sixth back surgery last September. He had issues with the Achilles' tendon before, injuring the left one from hitting a shot at the Masters with an awkward stance. He also cited the left Achilles' tendon in withdrawing from The Players Championship in 2011, when he was out for two months.

Manny Machado's homer makes the difference as Padres edge Brewers 1-0
Associated Press MILWAUKEE (AP) — Manny Machado homered and Ryan Bergert combined with five relievers on a four-hitter as the San Diego Padres edged the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 on Sunday. The victory enabled the Padres to win the series in Milwaukee before they return home to face the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time this season. Machado greeted Rob Zastryzny (1-1) by connecting on a 3-2 pitch and delivering a 425-foot drive over the wall in left-center field for his third homer in his last four games. It was the first run Zastryzny has allowed in 10 appearances this year. Yuki Matsui (1-1) earned the win after pitching two-thirds of an inning in relief of Ryan Bergert, who worked 5 1/3 innings in his second career start. Robert Suarez allowed a two-out single to Joey Ortiz before retiring Brice Turang on a pop to short to earn his MLB-leading 21st save in 23 opportunities. Milwaukee left 10 men on base over the last five innings. Neither team got a hit through the first 4½ innings as Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta and Bergert were both outstanding. Milwaukee's first hit was a one-out single by Rhys Hoskins in the fifth. The Padres broke through on Tyler Wade's leadoff single in the sixth. Key moments The Brewers had runners on the corners with one out in the fifth, but Jake Bauers struck out and Caleb Durbin grounded out to third. Milwaukee loaded the bases on three walks in the sixth before Matsui struck out Sal Frelick to end the threat. The Brewers had men on first and second with one out in the seventh, but Ortiz hit into a fielder's choice and Turang lined out. Jason Adam struck out Andruw Monasterio to strand runners on third and second in the eighth. Key stat San Diego's last seven games have been decided by a total of eight runs. Up next The Padres haven't named a starter for Monday's game against Los Angeles. Right-hander Dustin May (3-4, 4.09 ERA) goes for the Dodgers. The Brewers begin a three-game home series with Atlanta. Right-hander Aaron Civale (1-1, 5.19) pitches for the Brewers on Monday, while the Braves start left-hander Chris Sale (3-4, 2.93). ___ AP MLB: recommended

Oyarzabal gives Spain 2-1 halftime lead in Nations League final against Portugal
Associated Press MUNICH (AP) — Mikel Oyarzabal scored just before the break to give Spain a 2-1 lead at halftime in the Nations League final against Portugal on Sunday. The Real Sociedad forward squeezed the ball past Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa in the 45th minute. Martin Zubimendi had broken the deadlock in the 21st minute with a tap in when Portugal's defense failed to deal with Lamine Yamal's cross, then Nuno Mendes leveled five minutes later when he drilled a low shot inside the far post. Portugal fans were in the majority at the stadium in Munich. Earlier, Kylian Mbappe led France to third place with a 2-0 win over host nation Germany in Stuttgart. The Real Madrid star scored one goal and set up the other for Michael Olise as France recovered from a lethargic first half. ___ AP soccer:

Alcaraz wins longest French Open final in five sets after saving 3 match points against Sinner
Associated Press PARIS (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz rallied from two sets down and saved three match points to beat Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2) on Sunday and retain his French Open title for a second straight year. Alcaraz, who won his fifth Grand Slam tournament in as many finals, produced one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the clay-court tournament. It was the first time that Sinner had lost a Grand Slam final. It was also the longest-ever French Open final — 5 hours, 29 minutes — in the Open Era. After 3 hours, 43 minutes, Sinner had his first match point. But with just over five hours since the match began, Alcaraz served for the title at 5-4 up. The drama was still not over. Sinner made a remarkable retrieve from yet another superb Alcaraz drop shot. At the very limit he could stretch to, Sinner glided the ball over the net, with the ball landing with the softness of an autumn leaf and out of Alcaraz's reach to make it 15-40. When Sinner won the game to make it 5-5, it was his turn to milk the applause and he was two points away from victory in the 12th game, with Alcaraz on serve and at 15-30 and at deuce. But Alcaraz made a staggering cross-court backhand to make it 6-6 and force a tiebreaker, with the crowd going wild when Alcaraz's cross-court winner made it 4-0. Sinner could not find a way back and Alcaraz won the match with a superb forehand pass down the line and then fell onto his back to celebrate. ___ AP tennis: in this topic
