In the most unique Masters tournament of our lifetime, Xander Schauffele had 71 yards left into the 15th green during Thursday’s opening round.

A tradition unlike any other in a year unlike any other: The Masters, with no azaleas in bloom

Andy Murray’s happy return to tennis wouldn’t have been complete without some trademark stink-faced kvetching—mostly at himself, but occasionally at his opponent when the situation warrants.

It is a problem for President Donald Trump that it’s often impossible to tell what the hell he’s talking about.
