The young Tiger Woods's impish romp through this major altered public perception of how old a man needs to be to win one of the big championships. It did not, however, skewer the statistics. Despite Tiger's glorious...

Rafael Echenique played his final eight holes at the BMW Championship in eagle-birdie-birdie-par-birdie-par-birdie-eagle. The temerity of the thief, attempting to steal a tournament that Nick Dougherty had seized by the throat with a nearly-flawless first 15 holes of 8-under par.
