And you'd better cover your eyes because this gridiron one else was torching the place. In a visual snapshot that encapsulated the day for the world's two top guns, as Woods disgustedly walked off the 17th hole of the Magnolia Course, he spiked his ball onto a concrete cart path, sending it high into the air and sailing into a water hazard. Which, generally, is where he and Singh had spent plenty of time already.

When play was halted for the day because of thunderstorms, Singh had finished at 4 under, two shots above the projected cut line, which would equal an all-time tour record. Woods, also at 4 under, hadn't officially flat-lined, but was faced with the improbable challenge of making birdies on the Mag's two closing holes, the second- and third-toughest on the course. As if the taste in Woods' mouth wasn't bad enough, PLEASE SEE FUNAI, D9 Vijay Singh is out and Tiger Woods is fighting to make the cut at Disney. By STEVE ELLING SENTINEL STAFF WRITER LAKE BUENA VISTA In wonderful world of Disney terms, there probably are worse scenarios than the one that played out at the resort's big PGA Tour event on Friday. For instance, if Mickey ate rat poison and Goofy got the mange, NASA engineers were hired to redesign Space Mountain or the babes of Desperate Housewives grew handlebar moustaches.

But that's about it, actually. Absorbing an utterly unforeseen 1-2 punch, the Funai Classic at Disney World all but waved goodbye to the game's two top players, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh, who fried in a blaze of bogeys while every LEADERBOARD The Leaders Tom PerniceJr -15 Carl Pettersson -15 The Followers Geoff Ogilvy -14 Brandt Jobe -13 Kent Jones 13 Stephen Leaney -12 Steve Lowery -12 Jason Gore -12 MarkCalcavecchia -12 EARLY START Because of inclement weather, play in Friday's suspended second round is scheduled to restart today at 7:45 a.m., with third-round play set to begin at 1 0 a.m. Leaders will tee off at approximately noon.

UCF 34, Tulane 24 UCF grinds out victory Godzilla is all set to make a meal out of Mickey, Minnie, Tigger, Tiger and the rest of Disney's Funai Golf Classic. If you think it'll be cataclys-mal for the rain-delayed Funai if Tiger Woods and Vij ay Singh both miss the cut when play resumes today, imagine how calamitous it would be if Tiger, Vij ay and many other top golfers didn't even play in UCF receiver Mike Walker (left) reacts ters (110) became UCF's first single-game pair of 100-yard rushers in 13 seasons, the biggest reason the Knights are still in the mix in the Eastern Division of Conference USA.

With quarterback Steven Moffett skillfully running away from trouble and to help the ground game, UCF (4-3, 3-1) recorded the third-best ground game total in its 10 seasons of Division I-A play. Those 290 yards were the salve for an announced crowd of 15,009 that grew as disbelieving over 18 penalties as UCF Coach George O'Leary was. And they were enough to play keep-away from a Tulane team desperately in need of something good to come its way. The Green Wave (2-4, 1-3 C-USA West) had a brief lead in the second quarter only to watch it and the game slip away the final 5 minutes of the PLEASE SEE UCF, D1 1 Kevin Smith and Jason Peters each rushed for more than 100 yards for UCF. By ALAN SCHMADTKE SENTINEL STAFF WRITER The combination of scoreboard and statistics show something convincing, something punishing.

UCF knows better. The Golden Knights know this was Fortunate Friday. The Knights survived against Tulane despite themselves. UCF threw a new 1-2 punch at the Green Wave, running backs Kevin Smith and Jason Peters, then combined the dual ground game with three turnovers to stymie Tulane 34-24 Friday night at the Florida Citrus Bowl. It was almost enough to make the Knights forget about all their penalties.

It's really simple. Tonight guys found that extra bit of energy." Announced attendance was 68,350, but with the scheduling change and rain in the area, the actual crowd totaled about 40,000.

With Hurricane Wilma scrambling the schedule, the Chiefs shook off any travel fatigue to beat the Miami Dolphins 30-20 on Friday night.

Trent Green threw for 289 yards against Miami's injury-depleted secondary, and the Chiefs totaled a season-high 462 yards while controlling the ball for nearly 42 minutes.
