AUGUSTA, Ga. — As soon as you step to the first tee of a major golf championship, an entirely new nervous system takes control of your body. Unfortunately, it is often your old nervous system — even if you are Tiger Woods at the Masters . Read full article > >

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Perfection isn’t so much a pursuit at Augusta National Golf Club as it is a practice. So there remains the possibility that, come Thursday morning, the azaleas, long since the victims of an early spring, will somehow bloom fresh. The trees felled by a violent storm Tuesday night will somehow re-root themselves. The ground soaked by more than an inch of rain will dry up, and the Masters will be what the Masters almost always is: a roars-from-all-corners, don’t-turn-away-lest-you-miss-something rite of spring.

After Fairfax County police acknowledged in late June that they had fired the officer who shot and killed unarmed motorist David Masters in 2009, Chief David M. Rohrer said he would apologize to the Masters family. Eventually, Rohrer called Masters’s father, mother, sister and ex-wife and offered each his apologies. He also arranged to have Masters’s truck towed back to Fredericksburg, where Masters’s ex-wife and stepdaughter, the executors of his estate, live. But Masters’s parents said they were offended that the chief called the victim’s ex-wife first, and only called them in response to an inquiry from Barrie Masters, his father, a month later. The chief then declined to share any information with them about the shooting, Barrie Masters said. Read full article > >

Four days after he limped around TPC Sawgrass and pulled out of The Players Championship with left leg injuries , Tiger Woods announced Monday evening that he is “likely” to play in next month’s U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, though he described the situation as “week-to-week” and offered no definitive timetable for a return. Woods said it is unlikely he’ll play any competitive golf before the June 16-19 Open, leaving him with just nine holes in tournament play since the Masters — a period of 66 days — a significant layoff for a player who insists some of his recent struggles are due to the fact that he has played so infrequently.
