...World No. 1 Tiger Woods, No. 2 Phil Mickelson and three other players in the Top 10. Europe has just two, Harrington and Spain's Sergio Garc?a. The rankings suggest the Americans should just leave the 48-cm gold trophy at U.S. tour headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where it has been since they staged history's biggest final-day rally to win in 1999.

"I haven't been to the shore once," she says. "I went to Fire Island. I was one block from the beach, and I stayed inside the entire time." She sends letters to Padilla but has no idea if he is getting them. She keeps in touch with his family.
