Four days after Anthony Kim humbled Sergio Garcia in the Ryder Cup, he beat 29 players just as badly Thursday at the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Showing no effects of a Ryder Cup hangover, the former University of Oklahoma golfer fired off eight birdies on his way to a 6-under 64 to build a four-shot lead over Trevor Immelman, Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson.

K.J. Choi was the only other golfer to break par on a windy day at East Lake. He shot a 69.

•Lang wins Senior Women's Amateur again: Diane Lang won the USGA Senior Women's Amateur for the third time in four years, beating Toni Wiesner 6 and 5 at Tulsa Country Club.

•Patriots receiver Brown retires: Troy Brown retired after 15 seasons with the New England Patriots.

The wide receiver, an eighth-round draft pick out of Marshall, spent his entire career with the Patriots.

•Ex-Bears back Benson won't face charges: Two Travis County, Texas, grand juries declined to indict former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson on charges of boating while intoxicated, resisting arrest and driving while intoxicated, meaning the former Texas star won't face any charges.

•Rockets match offer for Landry: The Houston Rockets matched the Charlotte Bobcats' three-year, $9 million offer sheet for restricted free-agent Carl Landry, keeping the forward in Houston.
