For most of us amateur golfers, completing an entire round without losing a ball is an achievement. Compare that, then, to Australian Rhein Gibson who just broke the world record for the lowest round of golf in history.

As the HP Byron Nelson Championship gets underway this week in Irving, Texas, it seems like an opportune time to explore a record set by Byron Nelson back in the 1940s that will never, ever be broken.

The England squad Roy Hodgson has picked for UEFA Euro 2012 is a solid one which has the potential to take the Three Lions some distance in the tournament. It’s not the best squad in Poland/Ukraine, that’s for sure, and the lack of world-class firepower—barring Manchester United star Wayne Rooney who’s suspended for the first two Group D games—could be a major problem...

Let’s be honest for a moment. Very few outside of the most rabid—and thus ignorantly blind—Three Lions supporter has much faith in any combination of 23 English-born footballers winning the Euros this summer. The truth of the matter is that the quality of the EPL has not recently been manifested in a strong national side. This could have something to do with better foreign imports...

Rafael Nadal has set the bar so high for himself that when he isn’t winning every tournament he enters, then questions have to be asked about if he is starting to slip, or if others have started to catch up to him. Now, with his world ranking falling all the way down to No. 3, Nadal is trying to get past all the controversy of the blue clay at the Madrid Open, win the Internazionali...
