VANCOUVER - Bo Levi Mitchell carried the Calgary Stampeders to a Grey Cup title Sunday. Mitchell threw for 334 yards as Calgary held on for a thrilling 20-16 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at B.C. Place. The six-foot-two, 196-pound Texan was calm and precise on the field, completing 25-of-34 passes in his first career Grey Cup start. He was named the games outstanding player. At one point, Mitchell threw 10 straight completions, tying him for the third-longest streak in Grey Cup history before a boisterous B.C. Place Stadium gathering of 52,056 — 1,423 short of a sellout. But the West Division champions needed two late defensive stands and some luck to secure the victory. A Delvin Breaux interception of Mitchell put Hamilton at the Calgary 50-yard line. Quarterback Zach Collaros marched the offence to the three-yard line before the Stampeders defence stiffened, resulting in Justin Medlocks 17-yard field goal at 9:25 of the fourth quarter to pull to within 20-13. Hamilton regained possession at its 41-yard line with under four minutes remaining and marched to the Calgary 23. Cory Maces sack stalled the drive and set up Medlocks 37-yard field goal to cut the Stampeders lead to 20-16 with just over two minutes remaining. Brandon Banks brought Ticats supporters to their feet with 35 seconds left when he returned a Rene Paredes punt 90 yards for a TD, but it was nullified by an illegal block penalty. Instead of having the lead, Hamilton took over at its 12-yard line. Calgary earned its third straight win this season over Hamilton, which after a 1-6 start to the season rallied to a 9-9 mark to finish atop the East Division. Paredes had to handle punting duties in the second half after incumbent Rob Maver suffered an abdominal injury after being hammered on a Hamilton punt return. The six-foot, 201-pound Maver was hit from the blindside by Justin Hickman, a six-foot-two, 265-pound defensive lineman, and remained on the field for some time before eventually walking off on his own. Calgary also lost receiver Maurice Price to an ankle injury in the second half. Calgary earned its second Grey Cup win since 08 when John Hufnagel was named head coach/GM. Hamiltons Grey Cup drought continues with their last CFL championship coming in Vancouver in 99 when they beat the Stampeders 32-21. Its also the second straight Grey Cup loss for the Ticats, who lost 45-23 last year in Regina to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Backup quarterback Drew Tate had two TDs for Calgary. Paredes added the converts and two field goals. Banks scored Hamiltons touchdown. Medlock booted the convert and two field goals. A blocked field goal by Calgarys Demonte Bolden loomed large in Calgary taking a 17-7 halftime lead. The burly defensive lineman, in his first game since breaking his leg in September, batted down Medlocks 26-yard try with the Stampeders leading 14-0. The six-foot-five, 285-pound Bolden began his CFL career in Hamilton, playing two seasons there (09-10) before joining the Stampeders in 2012. Mitchell countered by marching Calgary 87 yards on eight plays, setting up Paredes 11-yard field goal at 12:43. But Collaros countered smartly, hitting Banks on a 45-yard TD pass at 13:39 to make it a 10-point game. Mitchell was a one-man show in the first half, hitting 14-of-17 passes for 220 of Calgarys 232 net yards. Despite Hamiltons terrible start, Collaros completed 9-of-13 attempts for 155 yards and a TD, accounting most of the Ticats 185 first-half offensive yards. It was a dreadful opening quarter for Hamilton, which posted -12 yards rushing and just four net yards. Calgary had 120 net yards, thanks to Mitchells 117 passing yards. Tates one-yard TD run 48 seconds into the second capped a 10-play, 66-yard drive and came after Hamiltons Brandon Stewart was called for pass interference in the end zone. Tate opened the scoring at 9:48 of the first with a one-yard touchdown that ended a five-play, 55-yard march. Members of the Stampeders receive $16,000 for the win while the Ticats earn $8,000 apiece. NOTES — Receiver Joe West and offensive lineman Edwin Harrison didnt dress for Calgary.

Woods said Monday his strength has returned from busting my butt in the gym pretty hard and he is on schedule to resume competition in December. But he still hasnt hit a golf ball since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship on Aug. 8, and still doesnt know when he will. Were pretty much past the strength phase now, and Ive got my strength where I want to have it, Woods said at Isleworth Golf & Country Club, where he lived for the first 15 years of his pro career. Now I just need to get my fast twitch going and get my speed back, and thats going to take a little bit of time. Thats part of our second phase of training. And thats coming up now. Woods had his fifth surgery in 20 years -- this time on his back -- and failed to win a PGA Tour event for the third time in the last five years. Rory McIlroy referred to Woods and Phil Mickelson has being on the last few holes of their careers when he was asked about the two best players of their generation not being eligible for the Tour Championship for the first time since 1992. McIlroy simply was noting their ages (Woods turns 39 in December, Mickelson is 44) and their injuries. And when the last few holes became an Internet sensation and McIlroy was asked if he needed to explain his remarks to Woods, he replied with a laugh, Ive said worse to his face. Woods response? I thought it was funny, he said. Phil has less holes to play than I do, though. Its a reality, you know? Were all older. Im nearing my 20th season on tour here coming up pretty soon. ... Its just part of the aging process. The Tiger Woods Foundation announced that India-based Hero Motocorp would be the new title sponsor of Woods year-end charity event, which is moving to Isleworth from Sherwood Country Club in California. The tournament will played Dec. 4-7. Woods played an exhibition in India in February when he met Pawan Munjal, the vice chairman and CEO of Hero. Thats my last good round I played all year, Woods said. I shot 63 that day. Even though he smiled, there was some truth to that. A nagging back injury became progreessively worse until Woods chose to have back surgery March 31, forcing him to miss the Masters for the first time and the U.dddddddddddd. Open during a three-month recovery. When he returned, Woods missed the cut twice, had his worst 72-hole finish in a major and withdrew from a World Golf Championship when he jarred his back hopping off a steep slope into the bunker in the final round at Firestone. He didnt qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs for the second time, both injury related. And he took himself out of consideration as a Ryder Cup pick. Woods didnt regret coming back too soon. He said he didnt realize how much stamina he lacked. I felt good enough to do it, and the only unfortunate part is I couldnt maintain the conditioning, Woods said. I wasnt as conditioned as I needed to be. So as the tournament would wear on, I would get more and more fatigued and tired, and I wasnt as explosive. I wasnt as strong. ... I could lift the weights that Im accustomed to lifting, as well as playing and practicing. Eventually, the game started to deteriorate a little bit because ... I wasnt in good enough shape to maintain it. He said his conditioning program is similar to when he returned from reconstructive knee surgery after winning the 2008 U.S. Open, his last major title. Woods fired Sean Foley two weeks after the PGA Championship. He already has had three swing coaches -- and four different swings -- during his pro career. Am I looking for a new coach? As of right now, no, Im not, Woods said. Right now Im just trying to get physically better, stronger, faster, more explosive. ... Im in no hurry to look for one right now. As I said, Im just focused on what Im doing. Among the early commitments to the Hero World Challenge are U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer, Masters champion Bubba Watson and either other players in the Ryder Cup next week, along with two Americans who wont be in the Ryder Cup -- FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel and Chris Kirk. Its going to be a deep field, Woods said. And hopefully, I can play a little bit better than I have been playing. Woods lost in a playoff last year to Zach Johnson. That was his last top-10 finish.
