Patrick Reed says beating a star-studded field to capture the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Sunday shows he is among the top five players in the world. The 23-year-old American said his impressive amateur resume combined with his three wins on the PGA Tour in seven months puts him in elite company. I won a lot in junior career, did great things in amateur career, was 6-0 in match play at NCAA's, won NCAA's two years in a row ... and now I have three wins out here on the PGA Tour," said Reed, who shot a closing even-par 72 to win the event by one stroke on Sunday. "I don't see a lot of guys who have done that other than Tiger Woods and the legends of the game.

By Nobuhiro Kubo, Linda Sieg and Phil Stewart TOKYO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As Japan and the United States start talks on how to respond to armed incidents that fall short of a full-scale attack on Japan, officials in Tokyo worry that their ally is reluctant to send China a strong message of deterrence. Tokyo hopes to zero in on specific perceived threats, notably China's claims to Japanese-held islands in the East China Sea, while Washington is emphasizing broader discussions, officials on both sides say. Washington takes no position on the sovereignty of the islands, called the Senkaku by Japan and the Diaoyu by China, but recognizes that Japan administers them and says they fall under the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, which obligates America to come to Japan's defense.

A man who died in a shootout in western Michoacan state "has been identified as Nazario Moreno," also known as "El Chayo," a government official said ahead of a press conference set to take place at 7:00 pm (0100 GMT Monday). The previous Mexican government reported that Moreno, a leader of the La Familia cartel, was killed in December 2010. "All signs point to this being 'El Chayo,'" a government official had said earlier on condition of anonymity about the suspect killed Sunday. Moreno, who is also known as "El Mas Loco" (The Craziest One), was one of the founders of La Familia Michoacana, which spawned the Knights Templar after his presumed death.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — A former Marxist guerrilla and the conservative former mayor of El Salvador's capital were in a tight race Sunday night in early returns from their presidential runoff election.

By Nelson Renteria and Michael O'Boyle SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - A former Marxist guerrilla leader and his conservative rival were fighting an unexpectedly tight race on Sunday in El Salvador's presidential election run-off with the contest too close to call after results came in from over one-third of polling stations. Polls ahead of the run-off showed Salvador Sanchez Ceren of the ruling Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), the rebel group in the country's 1980-1992 civil war, with about 55 percent support. However, he was locked in a dead heat with his conservative rival Norman Quijano, the former mayor of San Salvador, with both men on 50 percent after votes came in from almost half of all polling stations.

Coach Rudi Garcia said Roma's Serie A title challenge is virtually over after a 1-0 defeat to Napoli left his side 14 points adrift of leaders Juventus. Roma have a game in hand after a recent fixture with Parma was rained off. But even if Roma claim those three points, Garcia believes even an 11-point gap to the champions would be nearly impossible to close in the remaining 11 games. A Roma defeat to Parma could also bring Napoli to within three points and in sight of the second and last automatic qualifying place for the Champions League.

Australia has endured another "angry summer" with more than 150 temperature records smashed, a new report said Monday, with a warning that heatwaves and sweltering conditions will only get worse.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — He wore black pants and a red shirt, his Sunday colors. He took a lead into the final round, quickly expanded it with a pair of birdies and then relied on his short game to keep everyone chasing him. He even played it safe off the 18th tee, caring more about the trophy than the final score.

By Toru Hanai and Elaine Lies KORIYAMA, Japan (Reuters) - Some of the smallest children in Koriyama, a short drive from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, barely know what it's like to play outside -- fear of radiation has kept them in doors for much of their short lives. Though the strict safety limits for outdoor activity set after multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in 2011 have now been eased, parental worries and ingrained habit mean many children still stay inside. And the impact is now starting to show, with children experiencing falling strength, lack of coordination, some cannot even ride a bicycle, and emotional issues like shorter tempers, officials and educators say. "There are children who are very fearful.

Manchester (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has accused his players of complacency after their surprising 2-1 home FA Cup quarter-final defeat to holders Wigan. City's dreams of an unprecedented treble -- or at least a domestic treble -- were buoyed by collecting the League Cup title at Wembley against Sunderland last week. But against Championship side Wigan, managed by former City player Uwe Rosler and who beat them in last year's final, City found themselves 2-0 after an hour to goals from Jordi Gomez and James Perch before a Samir Nasri consolation gave them hope of forcing a replay.
