So there was Tiger Woods, in the press room, saying that if Y.E.Yang hadn’t chipped in and I’d made that putt and he’d done this and I hadn’t done that…
In short, there was Tiger talking like every golfer who’d come close and fallen short since the beginning of time.

Lucas Glover: Was this a one-shot deal a la Shaun Micheel/Ben Curtis/Todd Hamilton or a springboard to great things?
I’m not inclined to jump hard on either of those choices. Before yesterday, you could say Glover had had an underachieving career. He made a President’s Cup and barely missed the last Ryder, but had won only […]

I have never seen what others seem to in Don Nelson, the longtime NBA coach regarded by many basketball people as an eccentric near-genius.

When Tiger won his historic first Masters, by 12 shots, in 1997, Augusta National was a 6,800-ish yard course with no rough.
It was the ultimate strategic (as opposed to penal) design - you could hit tee shots six different places on many holes and give yourself six different approaches to playing the hole. There was […]
