The defensive end from South Pointe High School in Rock Hills, S.C., is considered the country’s top prospect and was sought by schools from coast to coast. But the 6-foot-6, 250-pound senior took a different path than other recruits, delaying his decision from national signing day on Feb. 2.

Spitting Tiger fined by European Tour

Golf: Tiger Woods apologized after he was fined an undisclosed sum by the European Tour for spitting on the green during the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

The tour said in a statement that tournament director Mike Stewart reviewed the matter and “feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct.”

The tour would not give the amount of the fine but it is probably between $400 and $16,000 for a minor breach.

Woods spit on the 12th hole after missing a par putt on his way to a 3-over 75.

Pujols, Cardinals extend negotiations

Baseball: The St. Louis Cardinals and representatives for Albert Pujols have agreed to a 24-hour extension to reach a new contract out of respect for Stan Musial.

The Cardinals Hall of Famer will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in Washington today and general manager John Mozeliak said the club did not want to distract from the special day.

Pujols’ agent, Dan Lozano, originally set a deadline for today, the first workout day for pitchers and catchers in Jupiter, Fla. Mozeliak said the new deadline is noon EST Wednesday.

Pujols is due to make $16 million this season in the final year of his contract, with $4 million of the total deferred without interest.

No indictment in football player death

Miscellany: A grand jury in White Plains, N.Y., determined that a police officer did not commit a crime when he shot and killed a college football player through the windshield of the student’s car.

Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore said jurors found “no reasonable cause for an indictment” in the death of Danroy “D.J.” Henry Jr., of Easton, Mass.

D.J. Henry, a 20-year-old Pace University student, was killed Oct. 17 when officers fired at his car as he drove away from a bar in Thornwood, just north of New York City.

The Henry family is planning a $120 million lawsuit against Pleasantville and Mount Pleasant. Danroy Henry Sr. said that the grand jury’s finding was “not designed to tell the truth but rather to minimize the civil and criminal liability of agencies involved.”

• Game suspended following fight: A physical altercation between Bethune-Cookman and Maryland-Eastern Shore in Daytona Beach, Fla., led officials to suspend the women’s basketball game with 16:22 left in the second half.
