Rafael Nadal’s Mental Toughness Makes Him Wimbeldon Favorite

I felt this at the beginning of the tournament, and I’ll say it now: The Wimbledon champion will be either Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer. Well, Federer exited the tournament at an unusually early stage for him. He did mention at the press conference afterwards that he had some niggling injuries that didn’t help his playing. But, congratulations to Berdych for playing a terrific match. He...

The 2010 AT & T National Six Pack

What a finish last week at the Travelers! Corey Pavin, Bubba Watson, and Scotty Verplank in a playoff, with Watson taking the cake after Verplank let the second playoff hole really get away from him. I am not sure he would have elected to putt from 15 feet off the green if given the opportunity to turn back time. Verplank cost us big time last week, as he was 40/1 odds of winning. Instead we cash...
