Louis Oosthuizen leading the Open Championship is by no means the most shocking thing that happened yesterday at St. Andrews. Granted, 99.9 percent of golf fans had never heard of Oosthuizen until yesterday afternoon, and most news outlets are still scrambling to figure out exactly how to pronounce his name. But Oosthuizen leading the Open Championship is not that much of a surprise. Louis Oosthuizens...

Phil Mickelson had an unlucky draw that left him more prone to weather effects than those with an earlier start. But his birdie to close out his Friday round saved him from being cut heading into the weekend. As the winds picked up, those at even and one-over par were saved as the elements sent scores plummeting. Players like Steve Stricker, Scott Verplank, Colin Montgomery and Stewart Cink will live...

Tom Watson has been very critical of Tiger Woods ever since the scandal with Woods broke late last year. Despite the hard words from Watson sometimes, Tiger had a nice gesture for the legend from Kansas on Friday at the British Open. Watson, a five-time winner of the Open, was in the group behind Tiger Woods. As darkness began to settle it became clear that Watson was going to miss the cut. Suddenly...

One can only imagine if we were watching cricket in the subcontinent that the ICC would be asking serious questions about today’s test match. Yes, call it sour grapes if you wish, but enough is enough. When your coach is too arrogant to accept that he is in the wrong and refuses to drop players not performing, it looks like he is trying to throw a game. When a referee is inconsistent in decision...

After providing a relatively peaceful first day at famed St. Andrews, Mother Nature absolutely threw down during the second round of the 2010 British Open. Wind gusts approaching 50 mph battered the course and brought play to a halt for the first time in 12 years. Aside from South African Louis Oosthuizen, who shot a 5-under 67 Friday to take a five-shot lead, the rest of the field could use a little...

From the tenor of the most recent debates—the controversy over who is ascending and who is falling in men’s professional tennis goes on and on. For the sake of allowing a new perspective to shift through the ATP upper realms, let us assume that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have been transported to an alien space ship and whisked off to Pluto where they will be forced to teach Plutonians...

Starting Saturday, the Open will start in earnest, as the cut is made, and everyone knows who the leader is. Now, it’s to the advantage of the earlier players to get around the course before the wind starts howling. This factor alone should bring Louis Oosthuizen back to the field on Saturday, and caught by Sunday. I would expect Oosthuizen to card around even on Saturday if he is lucky. Plus three...

The moment the situation at Red Bull pretty much went nuclear. Sebastien Vettel has gone from a likable, funny German to an evil, selfish superiority complex German while Mark Webber continues the sort of underdog performances you expect – though it does mean that Advance Australia Fair is completely and utterly unavoidable. What could have been a boring Red Bull benefit exploded into life around...

Harry Potter may have got his own theme park, yet sadly Formula 1 will not be casting its own spell over the general public. Plans to build a park celebrating the sport collapsed when Dubai based company Union Properties closed down their plans to build the attraction. The economic crisis seemingly gained another victim. In honour of the theme park that could have been, here are my ideas for attractions...
