...source of some hilarity over the past few years of dour golfing clones is the fact that Strange actually does have an identical twin brother, who presumably smiles all the time. At the Masters in 1985, Curtis had a near collision with history, blowing his chance by hitting a creek at 13 and a pond at 15. Nobody cried, not even Strange, though he did last week.

"The ATVs still go anywhere they want," says Carolyn Hewitt, owner of the Twin Rivers Landing in Lesterville. "Until they bring in the state troopers or the National Guard, it won't do any good...
