Officials at the 2013 Solheim Cup have once again proven the point that the rules of golf are far too complicated. How can the average golfer be expected to correctly adhere to the rules when a trained professional can’t get it right?

Liselotte Neumann‘s team grabbed a confident 5-3 advantage at the end of Day 1, and it doesn’t surprise the European captain.

It’s hard to see past a New Zealand triumph in this year’s Rugby Championship. The All Blacks won the inaugural four-team tournament last year by winning all six of their matches. Even before the addition of Argentina, New Zealand had dominated the old Tri-Nations—triumphing in 10 of the 16 tournaments. All four sides desperately want the bragging rights of the Southern Hempishere...

At one point in their professional careers, the top-10 men’s tennis players all shared one thing in common: they were under 23 years old. What today’s champions had accomplished by that age is astounding. Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have been on top for so long it’s hard to remember the era before them.

For one set, it appeared as though Roger Federer was back to his old ways before Rafael Nadal mounted a comeback over the final two sets to defeat his longtime rival by a score of 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Masters. As one would expect from these two, it was a terrific match that saw both players battle back and forth for over two hours. With the win, Nadal will...
