DRIVING DRUNK COSTS WOOSNAM HIS LICENSE

The only driving Ian Woosnam will be doing the next year is off the tee.

Woosnam, the 1991 Masters champion, was fined $3,320 and banned from driving for one year Monday after a British court ruled his blood alcohol level was more than double the legal limit when he crashed his car last month.

Woosnam, 35, drove through a row of hedges and into a field in the western English county of Shropshire, not far from his home in Wales. Woosnam's wife, Glendryth, suffered minor injuries in the June 24 crash. The car, a $120,640 Mercedes, was extensively damaged.

"I just wanted to get it all over quickly," said Woosnam, who is scheduled to play in the British Open beginning July 15. "Justice was done." - Associated Press
