After a wonderful drive in the final qualifying session, Lewis Hamilton found himself on pole for the third time this Formula One season in Shanghai. Would he be able to convert it to another win? A smooth start saw him pull clear of the trouble behind, Williams‘ Felipe Massa tried a hugely risky manoeuvre cutting across the grid and into a collision with Sebastian Vettel. Hamilton’s...

It was written repeatedly and talked about incessantly and, as it turns out, all of that was right on the money. The 2014 Masters, with just 18 holes, is definitely one of the most wide-open in a long, long time. There are 23 players within seven shots of the lead and nine players within three shots. That doesn’t necessarily mean all of those players are contenders. Augusta National Golf Club...

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Never mind who isn’t here, and, yes, we’ll get to that. Look who is here: the kid who may be America’s next great golfer, the lefty who won two years ago and a 50-year-old pot-bellied Spaniard. And look where they are, high on the leaderboard, each with a legitimate chance of taking the 78th Masters. A day and 18 holes to play, and practically everybody and...

Moving day has come and gone in the 78th edition of the Masters tournament. Bubba Watson maintained his perch atop the leaderboard despite a third-round 74. He’ll enter the third round tied with 20-year-old sensation Jordan Spieth, who fired a second straight 70 on Saturday. Watson and Spieth lead Jonas Blixt and Matt Kuchar by a stroke. The duo is positioned two strokes ahead of Miguel...

There are many sports records we think of as virtually unbreakable. Among them, Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak and Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point night. But one that suddenly looks very vulnerable is Tiger Woods’ record as the youngest Masters champion. Jordan Spieth, who won’t reach the legal drinking age until July, will take dead aim at Woods’ mark on Sunday,...

Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson share the lead after three rounds at the 2014 Masters in Augusta, Ga. Watson’s two-over 74 opened the door for Spieth, and the 20-year-old has seized the opportunity. Spieth wasn’t spectacular, but his second straight two-under 70 was enough to move up nine spots into a tie for first place. Back-to-back birdies on the 14th and 15th holes from Spieth...

The names at the top of the leaderboard may not be the ones anyone expected, but the 2014 Masters is in for a fantastic finish on Sunday. Saturday, aka “moving day,” more than lived up to that billing with 10 players moving to within three shots of each other. The biggest story of the third round, and leading into the fourth round, is 20-year-old Jordan Spieth being tied with Bubba...

On the bright side, at least Rory McIlroy won’t have to bear the indignity of losing head-to-head to a non-competitive marker on Sunday. McIlroy‘s one-under 71 on Saturday put him back on the right track following a miserable second round and currently has him sitting in a tie for 24th place heading into the final round. While it’s a far cry from the final group for the pre-tournament...

The opportunity to don the hallowed green jacket is the motivation for all of the golfers at the 2014 Masters, but the $8 million purse is a fairly nice incentive if a place in golf lore isn’t your thing. Unfortunately for the winner, he doesn’t get to pocket all of that $8 million, but the method for how that money will be divided is outlined below, in addition to a breakdown of three...

For a network executive, it’s been the type of nightmare that makes you wake up in a cold sweat and call your parents to say you love them. No Tiger Woods. No Phil Mickelson. No Sergio Garcia or Jason Dufner. Rory McIlroy is there in name only. If the job of a major tournament is to attract casual eyeballs and goose ratings—and, don’t get it twisted; that’s exactly how networks...
