Sunday After the Masters: 10 Lessons We Learned at the Valero Texas Open

The Valero Texas Open was played this week at the AT&T Oaks Course at the TPC San Antonio. The official website for the Valero Texas Open describes the tournament this way: “Unapologetically Texan—We prefer our golf a little rough around the edges.” Well, for some players like Kevin Na, the tournament was indeed a little rough around the edges. The weekend was marked by some windy... 

Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer & the Dirt Debates: What Monte Carlo Means

There is, arguably, no better parallel in professional tennis than the picturesque, azure Monaco seaside and the hustling and grinding that occurs on the red clay at the Monte Carlo Masters. Both equally striking, equally beautiful—one enveloped in a shroud of calm, the other a whirlwind of furious activity. And just as the brilliance of the Mediterranean Sea will never change, seemingly neither... 

Maybank Malaysian Open: Matteo Manassero Holds off Rory McIlroy to Gain Victory

Seventeen-year-old Matteo Manassero shot a final-round 68 to earn his second professional victory on the European Tour. Manassero finished one shot better than Frenchman Gregory Bourdy. Manassero, who’s 18th birthday is on Tuesday, will move up to the 35th-ranked golfer in the world when the new rankings are released next week. He also gains a European Tour exemption through 2013 and qualifies... 

Tiger Woods at the Masters: 7 Reasons He Will Never Win Another Major

Tiger Woods was the most dominating golf player of this era. Notice I said, “was.” Where there once stood a solid rock of golf granite, a mythic god firing at hole locations and curling putts into the hole with the calm, cool precision of a surgeon, there is now merely a man. A man with faults and flaws, just like the rest of us. Where there was once the fiery titan, expressing emotions... 

Men’s Tennis: It’s 7th Heaven As Rafael Nadal Reigns Once Again in Monte Carlo

And so it begins.  Like a pendulum swinging one direction, the inevitable shift of momentum starts almost the moment the first ball hits the dust on the hallowed courts above the Mediterranean, in Monte Carlo. For Rafael Nadal it wasn’t the same as a year ago.  Then, he raced through the draw, losing a mere 13 games en route to the finals where he eviscerated compatriot Fernando Verdascoe... 

2011 Chinese Grand Prix: KERS, DRS and Pirelli Make Racing Fun Again

Okay, pay attention. This is going to be difficult to write, and once it’s out, it’ll never be repeated. The FIA got it right. It’s a phrase that doesn’t get uttered often, if at all, but by some quirk of fate they have managed to bring in a number of innovations to Formula 1 racing that have actually contrived to make the sport better. Yes, the key phrase in that previous sentence... 

Lewis Hamilton Wins a Spectacular Chinese Grand Prix 2011

Lewis Hamilton looked to be in real trouble just minutes before the start of the race. An overnight fuel leak had meant that parts needed to be desperately fixed before the lights went out. Despite this unwanted drama, the McLaren man went on to drive a phenomenal race and take a well-deserved victory. However, I’d like to stress that it certainly wasn’t the “Lewis show.”... 

10 Players Other Than Federer, Nadal or Djokovic Who Could Win the French Open

This is perhaps an expedition in absurdity. This is a ridiculous article, some may suggest: Why speculate? Aren’t the Big Three—Nadal, Federer and Djokovic—the hands-down favourites for the French Open title (with Nadal a big way ahead)? Yes, that probably is the case. For all the delinquents and misanthropes out there, however, who have chosen for whatever reason to oppose the natural... 

Red Bull Racing: Do They Hate Mark Webber or Are They Just Incompetent?

Do Red Bull hate Mark Webber? Okay, that’s probably a bit harsh, but surely Webber must be asking himself why all of the team’s misfortune seems to be landing at his doorstep. To have it happen once is just a fact of racing, twice is unfortunate but three times smacks of carelessness. You get the impression that if Red Bull engineers were to give Webber a goldfish this year, it would probably... 

Sebastian Vettel on Pole Again in China, but 2011’s Qualifying Was Classic

So far, Formula One 2011’s qualifying has given us the same man on pole for three consecutive races, and yet, it has also given us three great Saturday afternoons! By far, today’s event in China was the best. The final session was pretty formulaic and dull, but the two first sessions were significantly enough to cancel out the boring final 10 minutes!   Qualifying One Sergio Perez...
