COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) John Daly has withdrawn from the U.S. Senior Open, citing a deteriorating knee condition and blaming the USGA for not allowing him to use a golf cart.

The 52-year-old two-time major champion went on Twitter to say the USGA turned down his request to use a golf cart, which could have been allowed under rules that conform with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The USGA responded , saying it offered Daly a chance to provide additional information about his condition. Daly said he never received such a request .

Golf carts generally are forbidden in tournament play. In 2001, Casey Martin , who suffers from a rare circulatory condition, successfully sued the PGA Tour to use a cart in a tournament.

Daly, who withdrew from a tournament last October after his knee collapsed, finished seventh at last week’s Champions Tour event.

James Harden won Most Valuable Player not named LeBron James honors at Monday night's NBA Award Show, and deservedly so. The Beard led the league in scoring, win shares and efficiency usage while guiding the Houston Rockets to a No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Considering the six-time All-Star should have won the year before (that sound you hear is every poor bastard that's ever played with Russ Westbrook nodding), it was a long overdue coronation.
But no one is talking about Harden's crowning Tuesday morning. And that's because the Houston guard received his award dressed like a f$@%^@! cow.

Groom's cakes are awesome. I can still remember the chocolate, golf-themed one my wife got me. I'd give my right pinky toe for a slice of that right now. . . Anyway, one LSU-loving groom recently got exactly the cake that he wanted from his wife — except for one subtle dagger on the mini scoreboard. Check it out:

Brilliant. Although, with LSU having won the past seven meetings on the gridiron between these two programs, Texas A&M winning — let alone by two touchdowns — was a bit of a stretch. Here's how the wife explained her decision to troll her husband on the biggest day of their lives:

Hey, be careful what you wish for — especially around a wife who went to a rival school.

To all beleaguered golfers whose ball inventory can't keep up with their wayward trajectories, RJ Smith is the answer to your prayers.
Smith, a 90-year-old Minnesotan, has been collecting golf balls for 80 years. The “magnificent obsession,” as he calls it, has netted him over 70,000 rocks, which sit in 460 milk crates in his garage. Smith began gathering this ammunition when he was an 11-year-old caddie, and—save for a military stint in World War II—he never stopped. He amasses most of his collection at Northern Hills Golf Course in Rochester, Minn., spending so much time at the property there's a bench in his honor at the third hole.
“My wife always knew where I was at,” Smith told news channel KARE 11. “I wasn't sitting in the bar.”
Smith’s pile includes thousands of logo balls from automakers, colleges and professional sports teams, with the oldest ball from 1917.
And now they could all be yours.
Smith said he was recently diagnosed with cancer, and isn't sure h..

In the immortal words of Lloyd Christmas, put another shrimp on the barbie, because we have yet another batch of kangaroo thunder from Down Under to share with you. Instead of tormenting golf pins and drop kicking cyclists, however, this 'roo took it's unique disruptive abilities to the wild world of Aussie women's soccer, interrupting a match between Canberra FC and Belconnen United to vault a couple fences, play a little goalkeeper, and show off its pace for the scouts. Behold:

After a delay of about 20 minutes, the kangaroo got bored and took it's skills to greener pastures, like Sochi, where the Socceroos will face off against already eliminated Peru on Tuesday, needing a win (and some help) to advance.
