...tape measure and stretches it 171 ft. along the track, the distance of his approach for the long jump. This is the first activity of most workouts. But Lewis does not normally jump in practice; he merely runs through the paces of his approach. This final workout lasts 40 min. During that time, he takes only three runs. He is in action for a scant total of 30 sec. But Tellez, as serene as his student, intends the last few workouts for fine-tuning, not of the body so much as of the mind. Until now Lewis felt that...

Making a 68-ft. putt without trying to, Zoeller took a three-stroke lead on the second hole. Norman three-putted three of the first five, and the most meaningful championship in golf turned into a brisk 3-hr. 15-min. walk. When Zoeller missed a birdie putt near the close of his handsome 67, Norman in jest made the sort of choking sign that professional basketball players flash to each other in earnest. Then he went to his own ball. "Knock it in," Fuzzy said softly...
