SAN DIEGO -- Jordan Spieth turned out to be the star attraction Friday playing with Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines. Spieth again showed game well beyond his 20 years with a 9-under 63 on the North Course, giving him a one-shot lead over Stewart Cink going into the weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open. Cink drilled a 3-wood from 280 yards onto the green at the par-5 ninth on the tougher South Course for a two-putt birdie and a 71. Woods rarely gets upstaged at Torrey Pines, where his eight professional wins include the 2008 U.S. Open. But in his first competition in six weeks, Woods hardly looked the part as the defending champion. He did not make birdie on any of the par 5s for the second straight day, and a three-putt bogey on the par-5 ninth hole on the North gave him a 71. He was nine shots behind. Phil Mickelsons ailing back wasnt much better and he withdrew Friday night because of muscle pain. Mickelson shot a 1-over 73 on the South Course in the second round, leaving him eight strokes behind Spieth. Mickelson said after the round that he feared getting into bad habits by altering his swing to keep his back from hurting. This is hometown tournament and he said he wanted to keep playing. His management company released a statement late Friday evening that Mickelson had decided to withdraw. Mickelson said he would talk to doctors to figure out the best course of action. Hes scheduled to defend his title next week in the Phoenix Open. Ottawas Brad Fritsch shot 70 to jump into a tie for 11th place. It was the first time Spieth has played with Woods in a tournament -- they played a practice round together at the Presidents Cup last fall -- and the Texan felt and played as if it was any other round on the PGA Tour. Then again, the first time he played with Mickelson, Spieth closed with a 62 at the TPC Boston last year, a round that led Mickelson to call Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples and lobby for Spieth to be picked for the team. In both cases, Spieth was more interested with the score than the audience. "Any time you can shoot a lower score than a 66 or 65 and you can really get it deep and be in a zone and not worry about what your score is ... thats special," Spieth said. "Thats proving that I can play my best golf when it matters on a PGA Tour venue. Each time you can do that, you get more and more confident that you can do it more often." As for playing with Woods? He only shrugged. Spieth grew up watching, idolizing and being amazed by Woods. But this was only a Friday. "They were both rounds that I needed to move up the leaderboard," he said about playing with Woods this week and Mickelson last year. "They werent in the last couple groups on Sunday, so they werent to win. They were to get myself up and in a position." Spieth was at 10-under 134 and will be in the last group Saturday with Cink and Nicolas Colsaerts, who shot 67 on the South and was two shots behind. "Im looking forward to playing with Jordan. Ive never seen him hit a ball, so that will be fun," Cink said. "Its always exciting to see the young guys play. Im playing really well. Im really excited about golf right now and the way Im playing. Im having some fun out there and seeing a lot of good things." The final two rounds will be on the South, which is about 600 yards longer and on Friday played more than 4 1/2 shots harder. Spieth didnt hit the ball better than his opening-round 71 on the South. His putter made the difference. He rolled in a bending 18-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole and his confidence grew up there. He avoided a three-putt on the 17th by making a 15-footer for par, and he really took off down the stretch. He holed another sidehill birdie putt on the par-3 sixth from about 20 feet, and he made a 15-footer for his final birdie on the eighth hole. The rest of his birdie putts were inside 4 feet. "The kids got talent," Woods said. "He hits it a long way, phenomenal putter. He made a boat load of putts today from the 10- to 20-foot range, and on poa greens, thats not easy to do. He was pouring them in there. He had speed to them, too. Thats what you have to do to putt on poa. "He putted with a lot of confidence." That wasnt the case for Woods, whose only birdies came on his opening hole and on his sixth hole, a flip wedge to 4 feet. He didnt feel like he was off by much, but thats all it took. The course is set up in such a way that the thickest grass is just off the fairway. "I wouldnt say its rusty," Woods said. "I was just a fraction off, and at this level and on golf courses like this, if youre just a fraction off it doesnt take much, especially as tight as the North Course is. I had so many balls that landed in the fairway that went in the rough. Now I cant be aggressive, Ive got to play conservative into some of these flags. When you should be able to fire at some of these flags, I just couldnt." The cut was at even-par 144, and 83 players advanced. There will be another cut to top 70 and ties after the third round. Woods wasnt ruling himself out just yet. He remembered the time he made the cut by two shots in 1999, and then had a 62-65 weekend to win by two shots. But that was before the South Course was lengthened. No had better than 67 the first two days this week on the South. TreQuan Smith Jersey .

United have acquired midfielder Alex Caskey from the Seattle Sounders for a third-round pick in the 2016 MLS draft.Chapel Hill, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - The 19th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels will close out their non-conference schedule on Tuesday evening, as they welcome the William & Mary Tribe to the Dean E. Smith Center. Roy Williams Tar Heels have a little bit of momentum building as they head in to the new year and conference play in the ACC. At 9-3 overall, UNC has reeled off three straight wins, including a big showdown with nationally-ranked Ohio State in Chicago on Dec. 20 (82-74). The team followed that up with an impressive blowout of UAB in Chapel Hill this past weekend, 89-58. UNC alum Tony Shaver is the head man at William & Mary and his Tribe have struggled of late after a strong start to the season. The team, which is now 6-4 on the year, has suffered losses in three of its last four games, including a 69-62 setback at Old Dominion last time out. North Carolina holds 19-3 advantage in the all-time series with William & Mary. The Tribe havent beaten the Tar Heels since 1977 and have lost seven straight to UNC since then. William & Marys scoring output belies an efficient team at the offensive end. The Tribe are averaging a modest 69.7 ppg on the year, but are doing so on a solid .482 shooting, which includes an impressive .402 from behind the arc. Senior guard Marcus Thornton is a big reason for the offensive success, as he is averaging a hefty 19.3 ppg, while converting 30-of-67 shots from long range. Omar Prewitt is a distant second in the scoring column for William & Mary at 10.8 ppg and is followed closely by Daniel Dixon and his 10.7 ppg. The Tribe hit nine 3-pointers and shot tthe ball at a 45.dddddddddddd7-percent clip against Old Dominion, but were abused on the boards, getting outrebounded by the Monarchs, 41-24. Thornton led the way once again in the scoring column for the Tribe with 22 points. Dixon finished with 16 and Prewitt poured in 15 in the losing effort. The Tribes accuracy from the floor will be put to the test against UNC, which ranks in the top-10 nationally in field-goal percentage defense (.351), while allowing just 65.1 ppg. North Carolina is even more dangerous thanks to the ability to fill up the basket to the tune of 80.9 ppg. The Tar Heels also enforce their will on the glass, with a +9.2 rebounding margin. Star guard Marcus Paige is the teams top scorer at 13.6 ppg. Kennedy Meeks is the resident muscle down low with a near double-double of 13.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per outing. Brice Johnson (11.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg) rounds out the double- digit scoring threats for UNC, although Justin Jackson (9.8 ppg) and J.P. Tokoto (8.6 ppg) are eager to join the group. The Tar Heels held the Blazers to just nine field goals in the first half and raced out to a 21-point lead a the break (44-23). A similar fate befell UAB in the second half, as the visitors managed a mere .281 shooting effort over the final 20 minutes in the lopsided affair. North Carolina had a balanced attack, as six players logged double digits in the scoring column. Paige led the charge with 16 points. Meeks just missed a double-double with 14 points and nine boards. Jackson tallied 13 points, followed by Johnson (11 pts), Isaiah Hicks (11 pts) and Nate Britt (10 pts).
