INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Mannings injured neck is healthy enough for more work. Hes just not ready to start taking hits. One day after Mannings latest monthly checkup, Dr. Robert Watkins gave the winless Indianapolis Colts and their franchise quarterback some good news in this miserable season: The four-time league MVP is healing. "I am encouraged with what Doc had to say," Manning said. "I am happy that I can increase my rehabilitation program as outlined by him ... and the Colts medical staff. I am hopeful for continued progress in this next phase of my rehab." Watkins believes Mannings recovery will continue. The 35-year-old quarterback hasnt practiced since having a spinal fusion Sept. 8. The surgery was intended to repair a damaged nerve in his neck that caused weakness in his throwing arm. It was Mannings third neck surgery in 19 months and the most risky and complicated of the three. It sounded as though things were going well when Manning provided reporters with his first medical update, after a checkup in early October. He was thrilled when doctors cleared him to move from the press box to the field and he started taking brisk walks around the practice field. A month later, in early November after another checkup, Manning said doctors were still waiting for the fusion to become firmly healed before letting him do more strenuous workouts. The comments prompted speculation that Manning may not recover fully from the operation. On Sunday, television commentators on the Colts-Panthers broadcast even discussed the possibility of Manning retiring after the season, a contention team vice chairman Bill Polian shot down on his weekly radio show Monday night. In a statement issued by the team Thursday night, Watkins said Mannings neck has finally healed -- right in the two- to four-month timeline predicted by neck and back specialists who did not treat Manning. Indys franchise player is expected to speak with reporters later this week. "X-ray and CT examination of the surgical area shows that the fusion performed in September has achieved firm fixation," Watkins said. "Peyton will now be allowed to increase the intensity and breadth of his workouts as tolerated. There remains every indication that his recovery will continue. "There still is no timetable for Peytons return to practice, which is one of many steps in his expected return to game action. He is working hard on a rehabilitation program. ... His response to this plan in the future will dictate his return date." Manning had less invasive neck surgery in May, but when the nerve did not regenerate as quickly or as well as anticipated, he had the fusion. Indy (0-11) has kept Manning on the active roster all season in hopes he could start throwing later this month, though it remains unclear whether that will happen. With Manning, the Colts were a perennial Super Bowl contender. After being drafted No. 1 overall in 1998, Manning didnt miss a start in his first 13 seasons, starting 227 consecutive games including the playoffs. He holds every major passing record in franchise history, has 399 career TD passes and trails only Brett Favre and Dan Marino on the career passing list. Without Manning, the Colts have fallen apart. Streaks of nine straight playoff appearances and nine straight 10-win seasons have already ended, and the Colts are 0-11 for the first time since 1986. And they have not found an answer at quarterback. Kerry Collins started the first three games after signing a $4 million contract, then was lost for the season with a concussion. Curtis Painter started the next seven games but after he threw eight interceptions and one touchdown pass in the last five games, coach Jim Caldwell decided to bench Painter and start Dan Orlovsky. The questions will continue into the off-season, too. Indy is the heavy favourite to get the No. 1 pick in Aprils draft, and many expect the team to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. First, though, Indy must decide what to do with Manning, who is owed a US$28 million bonus before free agency opens. If the Colts opt out of the deal, Manning would become a free agent. Polian said Monday the Colts could keep Manning and draft Luck and still remain competitive under the salary cap, and team owner Jim Irsay has said he believes the two sides could work out a new contract that would make it less costly to keep Manning. But first, the Colts need to know whether Manning can come back -- something that seems more plausible after Watkins exam. Mikael Backlund Jersey .

"Shes amazing," Choi said Sunday after tying for second with Ai Miyazato. "She plays so well. She never looks nervous or if theres pressure on her. ... "I dont know who can stop her right now. She hits it really far. Me and Ai, we tried our best, but shes pretty far away from us." The 24-year-old Tseng won her 14th LPGA Tour title and second in four events this year. She led the tour last season with seven victories -- including major wins in the LPGA Championship and Womens British Open -- and finished with 12 worldwide titles. On Sunday, Tseng overcame a three-stroke deficit for a one-stroke victory, fighting through rain, hail, cold, wind and lightning delays. "British Open with cacti," her caddie, Jason Hamilton, said on the practice green minutes before the leaders teed off. Tseng two-putted for par from 40 feet in fading light on the 18th green to hold off playing partners Choi and Miyazato. "It was a little drama out there," Tseng said. Tseng closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 18 under. The second-ranked Choi also shot 68, and Miyazato had a 69. The three players are friends and all work with Scottsdale-based Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, Annika Sorenstams former instructors. "We were so close," said Tseng, also a one-stroke winner over Miyazato last month in the LPGA Thailand. "It was very good. They both played very well." Because of lightning near the Wildfire Golf Club, play was delayed three times for a total of three hours. Tseng holed her winning 2-foot putt at 6:45 p.m. -- 8 hours, 4 minutes after the leaders teed off and seven minutes after sunset. "I was feeling like we were going to finish tomorrow, so we were really lucky to finish today and finish in the dark the last few holes," Tseng said. "Because of my eyes, I couldnt see much of a distance, so I tried to keep to myself, OK, just finish these few holes, just hit a good shot, good contact, play one shot at a time." After temperatures in the mid-80s Thursday and Friday and the high 70s Saturday, the mercury plunged into the low 40s Sunday morning and only got up to the mid-50s. "It was definitely a long day, and Ive never seen this weather in Phoenix before," Miyazato said. "Thank God we finished." Following overnight rain, play began at 8:30 a.m. It was still in the mid-40s, spitting rain and windy when the leaders teed off at 10:41. Soon after, hail fell briefly on parts of the course. "The weather was really tough," Tseng said. Three strokes behind Miyazatto at the turn, Tseng birdied five of the first six holes on the back nine and closed with three pars.dddddddddddd On Thursday in the first round, she played a seven-hole stretch on the back nine in 7 under with an eagle and five birdies. "I told myself, We have nine more holes, OK, three shots back. You still have a good chance on the back nine. Just play like on the first day, try to make birdie every hole," Tseng said. "I played 7 under here before, so maybe I can do it again. I played 5 under, so it was pretty close." Tseng, tied for the third-round lead with Miyazato at 14 under, bogeyed the seventh and eighth holes to fall three strokes behind the Japanese player. After the second delay, with the sun poking through the clouds, Tseng returned to hole a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 10th. "I think was a good break for me because I finished nine holes, was 1 over and I had a birdie chance on No. 10," Tseng said. "I came back here to relax a little bit and rethink, restart the day. So, it was a good break for me." She followed with a 6-footer on the par-5 11th to pull within a stroke, then made a 16-foot putt from the fringe on the par-4 13th to tie for the lead at 16 under. Following the last delay, Tseng pulled ahead with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 14th. Choi, from South Korea, also birdied the hole to tie Miyazato for second. "I was really cold when I get back there," Tseng said. "My hands were like rock. I have no feel with my hands and tried to get warm, and it was just really tough." Tseng opened a two-stroke lead with a birdie in heavy rain on the par-5 15th. "I think 15 was really a key hole because if I made birdie on that hole, I think I still had a chance," Miyazato said. "But it rained so hard, and it was really cold, and my hands like didnt have a feeling, so it was really tough." Miyazato and Choi birdied the par-4 16th to pull within a stroke, but could only match Tsengs pars on the final two holes as they raced to avoid a Monday finish. On the 18th green in front of about 75 spectators, Tseng lagged her 40-foot birdie try back down the hill to 2 feet. Choi then came up 4 feet short on a 30-footer on a similar line, and Miyazato missed a 25-foot attempt from pin-high on the right side. "It was a little bit dark to read my birdie putt, but it wasnt breaking much in the end," Miyazato said. "Thats why I missed, but I think I had a good stroke." Choi was simply relieved to finish and get out of the cold. "It was so, like, long day, and then it was a really tough day," Choi said. "Im really cold right now, so I cant speak. ... The weather was just so bad. Right now, Im finished, so Im very happy." ' ' '
