Bill Gates is no Tiger Woods. The Microsoft chairman's four-member bridge team finished 50th -- among 52 teams -- on Sunday during finals of the North American Bridge Championships held in Anaheim, Calif. (A team with four members from New York and one from California took the tournament.) Despite Gates's drubbing, a spokesman for him told the Associated Press, "He said he will be back bigger and better, and he was laughing all the way."
