MINNEAPOLIS — For the third straight offseason, Adrian Peterson will be recovering from surgery.The Minnesota Vikings said their star running back had an operation to repair his adductor muscle, which is part of the groin. The team said Peterson was expected to be fully recovered in about six weeks, giving him plenty of time to heal before offseason workouts get going.

SAN DIEGO — The best score belonged to Stewart Cink. The best round belonged to Pat Perez in the Farmers Insurance Open.Cink ran off three straight birdies late in his round on the easier North Course at Torrey Pines for an 8-under 64. That gave him a one-shot lead over Gary Woodland, who also was on the North, which is more than 600 yards shorter.Perez was on the South Course, host of the 2008 U.S. Open. He had a 67, the best score on the South by two shots, and even more astounding is that he played bogey-free.
