Roger Federer and Tiger Woods broke open two bottles of Dom Perignon and toasted — to a growing friendship, greatness and Grand Slams. With his new best pal watching from a corner box, Federer rocketed a final forehand past Andy Roddick, then fell to his knees and flopped onto his back.

The PGA Tour (and its refund policy) is a joke

The PGA Tour is a joke. From what I am hearing on the radio (credit to the caller who called in Mike'd up on WFAN in New York) tickets to the US Open for today cost $150 (and sadly that is not the worst offense I'm mentioning).
