...redemption. His plodding, mulish gait and mechanical style led many to label him a "journeyman" even before his 30th birthday, and for many years he was a consistent nearly-man, just like Norman. Between his first professional victory, in 1998, and his second two years later, he recorded nine runner-up finishes. When he finally did break through in a major championship, with a victory in a playoff of the British Open last year at Carnoustie, it was only after recovering from a disastrous double bogey on the final hole of regulation play...
...Oddly, the dominating performances by Portugal, Holland, Spain and Germany mean there are plenty of scraps left over for the runner-up spots and a place in the knockout round. And likely, a chance to be knocked out. Italy must find a way past Romania - certainly possible - and then play an out-of-form France for the second spot in Group C. Switzerland needs to beat Turkey to stay alive in Group A and possibly overtake the Czechs, who face Portugal. The Russians, who threatened the Spanish on a number of occasions, face a stubborn Greece and a rejuvenated Sweden...
...senior Caroline Simmons said. “We pulled away with the win due to some key shots by Jess Halpern.” Halpern also showed up in some of Harvard’s biggest games.

But the team rallied with 9-0 victories over Dartmouth and Stanford to finish fifth—a respectable mark, but a far cry from last year’s runner-up finish. “It is evident that although we fell short, we do possess the talent of a national championship team,” said Balsekar, who went 6-1 after returning from injury. “I am proud of what we were able to accomplish this year...
...Crimson score the low team mark in both rounds. Balmert and Sheldon each shot a round of 68, and Hazlett hit a hole-in-one. The next day, the team was able to coast to the previously elusive title. Balmert finished the tournament in the runner-up position, with Sheldon in third and Hazlett fifth. Harvard closed its season by flying to Austin, Texas to play in the NCAA Central Regional Championships. Although the Crimson finished in 19th, it got to face some of the best teams in the country. “It’s been great being...
