Pakistan coach dies PAKISTAN cricket coach Bob Woolmer has died after being found unconscious in his Jamaica hotel room. He was taken to the emergency ward of the nearby University hospital but did not regain consciousness. Woolmer's South-Africa based wife has been notified. He also leaves two children. Pakistan was eliminated from the World Cup after losing by three wickets to minnows Ireland. His overall Test record in 28 matches as Pakistan coach was 10 wins, 11 defeats and seven draws. Previously Woolmer, 58, coached South Africa between 1994 and 1999, guiding them to the World Cup semi-finals. Inzamam retires PAKISTAN Captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has announced his retirement from one-day international cricket. The 37-year-old, who made his debut in 1991, played his 378th and final match when Pakistan completed their World Cup campaign against Zimbabwe yesterday. It has been a turbulent few days for the captain, with the team's failure to qualify for the Super Eight phase and the tragic death of Coach Bob Woolmer. Inzamam, who is playing in his fifth World Cup, has endured a wretched series of results at the tournament in recent times. But he has scored 11,702 ODI runs at an average of 39.53, with 10 centuries and a remarkable 83 fifties. No 31 for Singh VIJAY Singh carded a three-under-par 67 final round and eight under overall to claim his 31st PGA tour title, Bay Hill. Singh was one of four players tied for the lead early on the front nine before four birdies in five holes starting at the fifth helped him break clear. The victory helped Singh equal the record for most American titles by a non-US player and join England's 1930s star Harry Cooper at the top of the list. The Fijian also ended his frustration at finishing runner-up at the tournament three times in the past. American Rocco Mediate, who chipped in for eagle at the par-five sixth, secured second place with a 67. Sergio Garcia of Spain was the highest finishing European, shooting a final round 71 to claim joint fifth while England's Luke Donald was eighth after carding 69 in round four. Tiger Woods was five shots behind at the start of the day and birdied the first two holes to give signs of launching an attack. But he dropped six shots in the final three holes as he found the water at the par-three 17th, which he double-bogeyed, and the par-four 18th, where he made triple. He took 43 strokes coming home and matched his career worst total for nine holes. His only other 43 came on the front nine in the second round of the 1996 Tour Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Woods, a four-time winner at Bay Hill, shot 76 to tie for 22nd at three over. Everton climbing ANDREW Johnson's stoppage-time goal against Arsenal moved Everton up to sixth place in the Premiership table, just a point behind Bolton and with those two sides due to meet on 9 April at the Reebok Stadium. Johnson had worked hard throughout the game without really having a chance to speak of before he crashed a shot past Arsenal's Jens Lehmann after a corner. Everton twice struck the woodwork, with Lee Carsley driving a first-half effort against the post, while Leon Osman hit the frame with a shot after the break. Tim Howard saved well from Jeremie Aliadiere and Cesc Fabregas but Arsenal missed the injured Thierry Henry. As so often this season, Arsenal moved the ball with swift precision but never really looked like scoring once the ball reached the penalty box. In Johnson, Everton had the game's most dangerous looking forward, even if few chances had come his way until that dramatic finale. His goal was a reward for his persistence as well as his intelligent running and ability to hold up the ball. While Johnson busied himself in attack, Manuel Fernandes did his best to disturb Arsenal's midfield with a gritty performance. It was another Everton midfielder, Carsley, who came closest to scoring in the first half when his powerful shot crashed against the post. France 90 per cent FRANCE coach Bernard Laporte insists his 30- man World Cup squad is 90 per cent finalised after they sealed a victorious Six Nations campaign. Laporte had promised to blood every member of his 40-man squad in the Six Nations but was prevented by injuries. But he claims the spirit among the squad is strong, and believes the seven weeks spent together at a Paris training camp has been invaluable. France's World Cup preparations were derailed by two defeats by New Zealand in November, prompting Laporte's decision to look at a wide range of players during the Six Nations. But injuries and loss of form meant that Laporte started 24 different players in the campaign with three others coming on as replacements. French selection has also been hampered by long-term injuries to skipper Fabien Pelous and fly-half Frederic Michalak, while prop Sylvain Marconnet broke his leg in a skiing accident during the championship. A worthy win over Wales kept the Grand Slam ambitions alive but France crashed to an in-form England at Twickenham before sealing a fourth title in six years with a try in the dying seconds against Scotland to edge Ireland on points difference. Hamilton like Woods? LEWIS Hamilton has marked himself out as a future world champion following his impressive Formula One debut, says his McLaren team boss Ron Dennis. The Englishman, 22, finished third at the Australian Grand Prix after a long battle with team-mate Fernando Alonso. And Dennis said that partnering Alonso, world champion in 2005 and 2006, would benefit Hamilton, not put him under extra pressure. It has been speculated that Hamilton, who is of mixed-race origin and the first black driver in F1 history, could have as big an impact on F1's global following as Tiger Woods has on golf. Marquez sees off Barrera JUAN Manuel Marquez claimed the WBC super featherweight title with a unanimous decision over fellow Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas. Three-weight world champion Barrera, 33, put Marquez down in the seventh round with a stinging right, only for referee Jay Nady to signal it a slip. And there was more controversy when the champion was then docked a point for landing a punch with Marquez still kneeling on the canvas. Marquez recovered and fought hard to take a 116-111 116-111 118-109 verdict.
