PGA Tour season opens FridayKAPALUA, Hawaii, Jan. 3 () -- Rickie Fowler will step to the first tee Friday at the Plantation Course of the Kapalua Resort and hit the opening shot of the 2013 PGA Tour season.He will be followed by 29 players who earned their way into the exclusive Hyundai Tournament of Champions by winning at least once on the tour last year.It will mark the final time, at least for the foreseeable future, that the PGA Tour will kick off a season in January. The 2014 campaign will actually begin next October, when the tour will institute a major revamping of its schedule as well as the method by which players earn their way onto the circuit.Steve Stricker will be on hand at the hilly Plantation Course this week to defend the title he won in 2012 and he heads a field that includes last year's FedEx Cup champion (Brandt Snedeker) and two of last season's major championship winners (Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson).There will be eight of the Top 20 players in the world in the field this week, but none of the first seven. Watson, at No. 8, is the highest ranked player competing.In addition to Fowler, first-time winners from 2012 who will be taking part this week include rookie-of-the-year John Huh, Jonas Blixt, Charlie Beljan and Jason Dufner.Dufner led or shared the lead at the end of 13 rounds last year, most on the tour. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy was next with nine.As it did last season, this tournament will end on Monday.

Arizona survives in OT to stay unbeatenTUCSON, Jan. 3 () -- Mark Lyons scored eight of Arizona's 12 overtime points Thursday and the No. 3 Wildcats escaped with a 92-83 triumph over Colorado.Arizona is one of four unbeaten teams remaining in major college basketball and the Wildcats survived thanks to a replay decision at the end of regulation.After trailing by 16 points with 12:45 to play in the second half, the Wildcats rallied to tie it at 80-80 on two free throws by Lyons with 9 seconds remaining.Colorado's Sabatino Chen then put up what appeared to be the game-winning shot, a 3-point attempt that banked in as the buzzer was sounding.After a lengthy review in which the three officials looked at replays shown on the screen of a laptop computer, it was ruled that the ball left Chen's hand a fraction of a second after time had expired.Given a second chance, Arizona dominated the overtime period with Lyons converting a pair of 3-point plays.Lyons finished with 24 points, hitting all 10 of his attempts from the foul line. Solomon Hill added 15 for the Wildcats and Kevin Parrom had 13.Arizona improved to 13-0 in what was the first Pacific-12 Conference game for both schools.

The Buffaloes were led by Askia Booker with 18 points.
