Only three players in the last 42 years have won consecutive titles at Augusta, but he's one of them, having done it in 2001 and '02.
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The last player to win the Masters back to back was Tiger Woods, as you may have guessed, in 2001-02. Before that, Nick Faldo in 1989-90. And the only other player in the last 42 years to successfully defend a Masters title was Jack Nicklaus in 1966.
The Diamondbacks four-run first inning gives Arizona starter Haren enough padding for the victory.
PHOENIX -- Andruw Jones showed up early Monday at Chase Field to work in the cages, and later on the field he had what hitting coach Mike Easler called his best batting practice session of the season.
Kansas erases nine-point deficit late in regulation, ties score on Chalmers' miracle three-pointer and surges in overtime to win its third national title.
SAN ANTONIO -- The game was over, Memphis had won on a Monday, freshman Derrick Rose was going to be the star and Coach John Calipari was finally going to get his due.
He says team's 102 points are "pretty good" in division and conference and chuckles as he says perfection is the goal. The defending Stanley Cup champions go into the playoffs after season of travails.
Leave it to gruff Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle to not be satisfied with a 102-point season, which earned the team a No. 4 seeding and Game 1 at home Thursday for the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against Dallas.
Lakers habitually struggle at Portland's arena, going 6-18 there the last 13 years, and it doesn't seem to matter whether Trail Blazers are good, bad or indifferent.

Center fielder's second home run of the game, in the bottom of the ninth, defeats Indians.
Those waves of fans who streamed toward the Angel Stadium exits after Francisco Rodriguez's blown save in the top of the ninth inning Monday night missed a heck of a finish.
Kansas will remember overcoming a big deficit in regulation and triumphing in overtime. History, however, will remember it as the night the Tigers blew it, largely because of missed free throws.
SAN ANTONIO -- That's the thing about one shining moment.
A new rule at stadium denies field-level access to autograph seekers who don't have box seats, another example of McCourts' let-them-eat-cake attitude toward average fans.
