That’s not enough for the big Canadian, an aspiring star who hungers to be a regular major contender. Raonic’s bittersweet run is an important moment. It will either be a career highlight...

Somebody up there—or perhaps a resident of a slightly warmer locale down south—doesn’t want anybody messing with major championship history. Maybe it’s the apparition of Old Tom Morris or the specter of legendary Bobby Jones. Otherwise, all the more plausible explanations have run thin.
