Recent weeks have shown a mix of highs and lows in the sports world. Winners of their respective events at the Olympics would definitely be at career highs.

Eight years ago, a twig of a Brit with a cockney accent walked into my office at La Costa. The young man with spiky blonde hair claimed to be a professional on the European Tour and just wanted to have a look at the course under tournament conditions. It was the week of the 2002 WGC—Accenture Match Play, and he wasn’t high enough in the World Ranking to qualify for the event. ...
