...ROSBURG, 33, is one of the most improbable of the younger stars. With small, weak hands, he has to pass up the pro's usual finger-entwined grip and just grab the club as though it were a baseball bat. Sweat fogs his glasses until he looks like a myopic insurance adjuster out for a Sunday round. He has muscle spasms in his back, an uncertain stomach.

Rosburg, who grips a club like a baseball bat, sank a chip shot and 30-ft. putt for successive birdies on the 11th and 12th. But on the final hole he needed to sink a 40-ft. putt to tie. It stopped a foot short, and Bill Casper was the U.S. Open champion...
