In tribute to one of golf's greatest architects: Time robs a genius of his memory, but his wife and their scrapbooks open a window to his soul

Kevin C. CoxNo matter how much a golfer has accomplished in his career, getting an invite to the Masters never gets old. That's why you'll see even a U.S. Open champ and Olympic gold medal winner like Justin Rose excitedly sharing a photo of this coveted piece of mail like he did on Thursday.

Too bad a three-time Masters champ had to poke his nose in and ruin the moment.
Phil Mickelson's best days on the golf course may be behind him, but he is just entering his prime when it comes to being an Instagram instigator. First, here's Rose's post:

Ironically, Rose h..

New York Giants fans are hungry for some wins. After watching new head coach Joe Judge's opening press conference on Thursday, they're also hungry for a mid-afternoon snack.
Unlike New York Jets current head coach Adam Gase, Judge made a good first impression with the media, trotting out staple N.Y. sports teams head coach cliches like “hard working,” “blue collar” and “best pizza in the world.” Ok, so maybe that last one isn't true, but Judge did make a food reference that was, um, peculiar, to say the least. When discussing his role in New England, where he spent five seasons under Bill Belichick as the special teams coordinator, Judge likened it to … making a sandwich?
“My role when I first went there was heavy on personnel,” Judge said. “Being a special teams coach you have to know every player on your team inside and out, because you have to know who you can use with a limited menu. It's kind of like when you're hungry and your dad says 'figure out ..

It's the dead of winter. We're a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting and a good two-and-a-half until the games actually start to count. But down near the equator, baseball is only just heating up. On Wednesday, the pressure cooker that is the Venezuelan Winter League got a little too hot, however, when a bench-clearing dust-up turned into full-fledged criminal assault with former Arizona Diamondback Alex Romero at its center. The insanity got rolling when Rómulo Sánchez plunked César Varela, leading to a pretty standard bench-clearing dust-up. Nothing to write home about, by homicidal baseball standards, but still pretty fun.

But as it turned out, that was only the amuse bouche for the feast to come. In the next inning, Romero stepped to plate and was summarily plunked in retaliation for the fracas. It wasn't a dangerous bean. Nothing head height. No high heat. But it did manage to knock loose some s..

The never-ending reality show that is the National Basketball Association was in rare form on Wednesday night, and the star at the center of it all was Jimmy Butler. He didn't break any records on the court, but he still made quite an impact in the Miami Heat's 122-108 win over the Indiana Pacers.
In addition to scoring 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting, grabbing six boards and dishing seven assists, Butler dominated the mental battle against Indiana's T.J. Warren, who was guarding Butler for most of the night, but not all of the night. Halfway through the third quarter, after the two had been jawing all night, Warren fouled Butler hard, and Butler took exception, squaring up like he was ready to fight. After the two were separated they played on, and on the very next play that Butler got the ball, he gave Warren the ol' fullback shoulder right in his chest, earning an offensive foul.
