Golf News: Courses brace for O.J. Simpson's hunt for the "real thief"

Golf courses throughout the land are preparing for a stellar fall and winter season, as O.J. Simpson will soon likely be playing golf throughout the nation, in search of the person(s) that have sullied his good name and possibly committed theft at a Las Vegas Hotel-Casino.

“Police: Simpson questioned in alleged theft”

(CNN) – Former college and NFL star running back O.J. Simpson has been questioned as a possible suspect in an alleged theft at a hotel-casino, a Las Vegas, Nevada, police spokesman said Friday.

But Simpson told The Associated Press that he was conducting “a sting operation” to collect sports memorabilia that belonged to him.

He said he did not break into a hotel room, the AP reported.

Sgt. John Loretto of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said there was “an allegation of a theft involving Simpson as a suspect.”

“We haven’t arrested him or anything else; the investigation is very preliminary right now,” Loretto told CNN.

Oh, and in other golf news, Tiger Woods is running wild at the Tour Championship, after his second-round 63 - highlighted by an opening 28 - has him three shots ahead in Atlanta.
