LAST-PLACED SABBATINI PULLS OUT OF
FINAL ROUND AT TIGER'S TOURNAMENT

Controversial South African Rory Sabbatini quit the Target World Challenge - he was lying last in the 16-man field - before the fourth and final round in California today.
Sabbatini said he was withdrawing for "personal reasons."
He is the first player in the nine-year history of the event that raises a lot of money for Tiger Woods' foundation charity to pull out before the Sunday finale.
He still receives $170,000.
Sabbatini was 28 shots behind six-stroke leader Woods after three rounds.
His agent, Bud Martin, said Sabbatini told him he withdrew because of shin splints.“He had shin splints that were bothering him yesterday,” Martin said after talking to Sabbatini on Sunday morning. “He went home overnight and worked on them with his trainer, and they weren’t getting any better. He said he wasn’t going to risk it.”
Sabbatini had played the previous two weeks in South Africa and Australia.
“He should give that $170,000 back to the foundation,” said fellow competitor Fred Couples.
