Bubba Watson is a jerk. At least, that is what a great many of you might think when watching this short video of the golf star taking his caddie to task for picking the wrong club. In all honesty, we were dangerously close to seeing the very rare golfer/caddie boxing match. At the very least, Watson was traipsing towards a couple of noogies for the man on the bag, Ted Scott. Thanks to Reggie Noble...

The United States drew, 1-1, with France in their FIFA Under-20 World Cup match on Monday. Tab Ramos was looking for a response from his team after it was thrashed, 4-1, by Spain. In the first half against France, the United States were much better defensively. They didn’t allow France to get a lot of great chances on goal. The biggest problems were up in the attack. The United States had chances...

He played well, posting 63-67-70 over the first three rounds and took a three-shot lead into the final round Sunday. It seemed the stars were aligned for Watson to pick up his fifth tour win on a course that he likes and...
