Kaymer Wins, but Is the US Open Too Hard for Anyone to Enjoy It?

No normal person would play the U.S. Open for fun. The courses, most of them golfable on a normal day (Oakmont being the exception), are riddled with booby traps at every step over the 7,500-yard walk. Players giving their all are like Wile E. Coyote chasing a roadrunner of a trophy ducking explosions and avoiding the cliffs of doom. Regular humans would quit after 12-putting a couple of Donald Ross...

Pirelli Formula 1 Tyres in 2014: Are They Finally Right for Grand Prix Racing?

This time last year, tyres were occupying a lot of column inches on Formula One news sites. The biggest story of the spring was tyre-related. Mercedes had used a 2013 car to help tyre supplier Pirelli with development work in a “secret” test at the Circuit de Catalunya in late May. Their rivals weren’t happy with the German team, and at an FIA hearing they were banned from the Young...
