US Open 2014: Americans with the Best Chance of Reaching Week 2

It would appear even to the untrained eye that Americans have lost their grip on the grand sport of tennis. On the men’s side of the U.S. Open draw, there isn’t much hope for anyone under 6’10”. But at least the women can lay claim to the No. 1 overall seed. The sport of tennis has spanned the globe starting in the southern hemisphere summer (Australian Open) and ending in the... 

2014 FedEx Cup Playoffs: Winners and Losers from the Barclays

Part of what makes the FedEx Cup playoffs such a draw is keeping the best players on the course at a time they might otherwise take some time off. Pay them and they will show. The Barclays, the first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs, went to Hunter Mahan, who leapt up the FedEx Cup leaderboard from 62nd to first with his win. It was also a proving ground for some looking to advance to the second leg in... 

2014 FedEx Cup: Updated Odds After the Cut at the Barclays

If you’re a betting person, and, let’s face it, you are, you’ve got to like what you see at the Barclays, the PGA Tour’s opening leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Adam Scott and Cameron Tringale sit atop the leader board at eight under par. Scott put together a resurgent round of golf, hitting the shot of the day on 18, allowing him to birdie into the clubhouse. Scott told the... 

Will Injuries Keep Rafael Nadal from Becoming the Greatest of All Time?

Rafael Nadal exploded onto the tennis scene in 2001, skidding across courts in capris and slashing his racket like a machete through jungle brush. He played so hard that one had to wonder: How long can that body take that kind of a pounding? His legs have weakened with recent injuries to his (right or left or both) knees, but now the injury bug has moved up his body and claimed his wrist. It’s... 

PGA Championship 2014: Winners and Losers from the Season’s Final Major

No amount of rain falling on Valhalla Golf Club could put out the fires set in the final round of the 96th PGA Championship. In fact, the only thing that threatened to put an end to this tournament was the lights turning off. Rory McIlroy provided all the electricity Valhalla ever needed. The weekend at Valhalla was one of the most electric two days of golf anybody has ever seen. The golfers with... 

PGA Championship 2014: Biggest Takeaways from Day 3 at Valhalla

Day 3 at the PGA Championship wasn’t full of surprises like Adam Scott nailing a sprinkler head or Ian Poulter chipping off a green (such were the foibles on Day 2). What we got was an absolute war atop the leaderboard on the back nine. Bernd Wiesberger (who?) knocked an approach to three inches to take the lead at 11 under par. Then Rory McIlroy, two holes behind, drained a 20-footer to go to... 

Tiger Woods at British Open 2014: Grading Day 3 Performance at Royal Liverpool

Tiger Woods had what one may call a roller-coaster day on the course. Then, once out of contention, it appeared Woods realized at the turn that the leaders weren’t coming back and he wasn’t making an aggressive move up the board. Something weird happened. Woods was laughing. He was joking with Jordan Spieth. That right there spelled the end of Woods trying to win this tournament. Woods... 

British Open 2014: Latest Odds, Predictions and Picks

Tiger could be an endangered species, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at his odds to win the British Open. As charismatic megafauna go, there are none bigger than Tiger Woods. As it stands, he’s 15-1 on the morning line, good for co-second choice with Rory McIlroy. This just doesn’t make much sense. (What was that sound? Ah, another casino/hotel going up in Vegas.) What else... 

Roger Federer Adds to Legacy with Vintage Display in Tough Wimbledon 2014 Loss

There are losses that signify the end and tarnish an otherwise beautiful run through a Grand Slam. Roger Federer’s loss to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final signified how great Federer was, even in defeat. And it was a beautiful run by a player in the twilight of his career, yes, but still one of the best on grass. It was a loss in so much as there had to be a loser. It was a match won, simply... 

Wimbledon 2014: Burning Questions for the Final Rounds at the All England Club

The second week started with a big Monday of fourth-round action at Wimbledon.  The morning began with Eugenie Bouchard showing her class in a straight-sets win, 7-6 (7-5), 7-5, over Alize Cornet, otherwise known as “the woman who knocked off Serena Williams.” Andy Murray, the defending champion, advanced with relative ease, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6), and has yet to drop a set in this...
