NASSAU, Bahamas — Two of the five oldest national Opens in golf are being played this week in South Africa and Australia. It's a good time to note that Rory McIlroy's playoff loss in the South African Open is all that's keeping him from sweeping the five oldest Opens. He already has the British Open, U.S. Open, Australian Open and Canadian Open. Arnold Palmer and Gary Player also have four of the five. In other golf news, Karrie Webb tells of winning a rain-interrupted match with Cameron Smith. As for Sergio Garcia? The Spaniard is no longer part of the top 100 in the world ranking after 23 years.
