McIlroy, Quiros Off to Roarin' Start at Masters
By not in system - AOL NewsAUGUSTA, Ga. -- Rory McIlroy teed off in the morning and put up a score for everyone to chase at the Masters. Then, after grabbing some lunch, he plopped down in front of the television to see if anyone could catch him. No one did - until a long-hitting Spaniard in the last group of the day. Alvaro Quiros, who had never shot better than 75 in two previous Masters, birdied the final two holes under darkening skies to match McIlroy with a 7-under 65 on Thursday. There were plenty of red numbers on the board, the golfers able to attack the venerable course on a warm, sunny day with only a ...

Opinion: Zimbabwe's Politics Are in the Rough, but Not Its Golf
By not in system - AOL NewsIf you flew from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Harare or Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, took a limo to your hotel, played a round or two at the local golf course and then left, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the country is not only normal but actually a nice place for a golfing vacation. Golf has been played in this landlocked country in southern Africa for more than 100 years, since the arrival of European settlers in the 19th century. The first golf course was constructed in the provincial town of Bulawayo in 1895, just two years after the city was founded by the British. In short order, ...
Tiger Woods, Struggling Golfer, Tries Hand at Twitter
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Nov. 17) -- Maybe he's trying to to resuscitate his irreparably shattered public image. Maybe he wants to give the Internet a real-time account of his famous philandering. Maybe he's just bored now that he's suddenly not the world's best golfer. Whatever the reason, Tiger Woods, the wholesome golf superstar turned reviled womanizer, announced his entry to the Twitterverse this morning. His inaugural tweet wasn't too interesting: .bbpBox4928805164556288 {background:url(http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/55581779/TwitterBkTW.jpg) #ffffff;padding:20px;} ...
Opinion: Heroes on the Ball Field?
By Robin S Rosenberg - AOL News(Oct. 27) -- It's that time of year again. As the World Series gets under way, there will be a lot of talk about "heroes." Ballplayers won't be the only ones. From a wide range of sports, winners are often referred to as heroes, as was Tiger Woods and Olympic medalist Michael Phelps before -- and even after-- their falls from grace. Indeed, the word "heroes" is bandied about so much these days that its meaning may be lost. Why, after all, should any athlete be hailed as a hero? Dictionaries define a hero as someone who exhibits noble qualities such as courage or bravery, or as someone ...
Cigar Guy Meme Lights Up Internet
By David Moye - AOL News(Oct. 6) -- Note to self: Looking like one of the Mario Brothers and chomping a cigar at a major golf match may be a more effective way of becoming a celebrity than releasing a sex tape. Hey, it's working for a mysterious, mustachioed man known on the Internet only as "Cigar Guy." The still-unknown chap managed to wrangle a prime viewing spot to watch Tiger Woods hit a golf ball at the recent Ryder Cup, and now he's riding his way to a level of fame previously known only to cats who play piano or guys who see double rainbows.
