Indeed, if each country's medal haul is divided by its population size in millions (which is, after all, its pool of available talent), Cuba comes out the second-place country over all with a remarkable 2.6 ratio.

And set aside his prospects for stomping the field in another major tournament, next week's PGA Championship at Valhalla. Consider, instead, what Woods did right after he dominated the 1997 Masters. He studied videotapes of his performance: blasting 300-yd. drives, hitting crisp iron shots right at the pins, draining putts from everywhere. And he thought, as he later told friends...
