Seven weeks ago 49'ers Coach Steve Mariucci accused the Redskins Steve Spurrier of running up the score in a preseason game by leaving his starters in late in the fourth quarter.

Dana Stubblefield has spent time with both the Niners and Skins during his lengthy career.
Today it was a good day to be a Niner. A Stephen Davis fumble led to this Kevin Barlow nine yard touchdown run.
Then San Fran goes to the bag of tricks. Terrell Owens takes the pigskin on the end around and wants to pass. Owens can't find anybody downfield so he tucks it under and dances behind his blockers. He cuts back across the field and down the sideline for a 38 yard score, in which he probably ran about 68 yards.
It was 14 to 3 49ers when Shane Matthews got the Skins on the board with a touchdown toss to Zaron Flemister.

Reteif Goosen fired the round of the day--matching the course record with a 62, but he came up one shot short of Tiger.
Woods tallied 5 birdies and an eagle on his way to a final round 66. He didn't have a bogey all weekend, until the 18th hole today. But it didn't matter. Woods finished at 25-under par. The win was his 5th of the season and 34th of his career. The Ryder Cup gets underway later this week
