golf » Former Brigham Young golfer Mike Weir was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame on Saturday night at Huron Oaks in Brights Grove, Ontario, the course where the left-hander fell in love with the game.
"It's special to do it here," said Weir, the 2003 Masters champion. "I see a lot of family and friends. Obviously, it's kind of where I grew up and where it all began for me. I feel good. It's a great night."
The 39-year-old Weir has eight PGA Tour victories, matching George Knudson for the most by a Canadian.
Weir's Hall of Fame plaque was unveiled Saturday night and features a sketch along with a brief biography. It will soon make a permanent home alongside other honored members at the Hall of Fame on Glen Abbey's grounds in Oakville.
Federer eliminated from ATP World Tour Finals
Tennis » Roger Federer was eliminated from the ATP World Tour Finals on Saturday, losing to Nikolay Davydenko 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 in the semifinals.
Federer was broken three straight times in the first set and came within two points of winning while leading 5-4 in the third set, but Davydenko held on and then broke Federer to take a 6-5 lead before serving out the win.
It was the Russian's first win over the top-ranked Swiss in 13 matches.
Robin Soderling 's breakthrough year also ended Saturday when he couldn't protect a one-break lead.
However, the Swede's play at the ATP World Tour Finals may have convinced a few skeptics that reaching this year's French Open final wasn't a fluke.
Soderling wasted a 4-2 lead in the final set before losing 6-7 (1), 6-3, 7-6 (3) to U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the semifinals, sending the disappointed Swede home for the offseason after coming within reach of another big final.
But he made the most of his chance to play in the season-ending tournament as an alternate after Andy Roddick pulled out because of an injury, beating Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the round-robin phase to win Group B.
