1-800-681-8204
few weeks ago, I attended a little
rock concert at the Texas Motor
Speedway in Dallas with some
friends, one of whom bears a striking
resemblance to a certain cardinal-clad
golfer with a nickname usually reserved
for admonishing small children.
Even in their admittedly inebriated
state, at least 20 people happened to
inquire as to whether he was indeed the
same tee-crusher, who has turned the
sporting world on its collective ear.
Two years ago, these people probably
wouldn’t have given a hoot about golf, much less a
phenom like Tiger Woods, who is barely old enough
to drink the warm brew of which they were so liber
ally partaking.
The millions of dollars in
endorsements thrown at
him by Nike and Titleist
now look to be a bargain
along the lines of the
purchase of Manhattan
for a few trinkets.
Woods’ four wins in 13
starts this year have
turned even the staunchest
critic’s head and electrified
the sport. If that weren’t
enough, Tiger has already won
a major, this year’s Masters, and
seems to be a serious threat in
the future to win golfs most
impossible feat, the Grand Slam.
The question is not whether or
not Woods is good for golf now, as
the record attendance and TV audi
ence readily answers, but whether he
is good for golf in the long run.
One needs only look to other
sports leagues to see the effects of
a dominant player or team. The
NBA has become blase save for
the brief moment Michael
Jordan took a sabbatical to
hack at curveballs.
Perhaps not as storied
as the Bulls have reported
ly become, but no less a
dominating force for much
of the 1990s, Major League
Baseball’s Atlanta Braves
have routinely mowed down
the National League during
the regular season before
underachieving in the playoffs.
It’s widely known that pitching wins champi
onships, whether it be the National League or the
World Series, so even if the expanded playoff format
affords some .500 club a ray of hope, it can rightly
assume the Braves’ four Cy Young-caliber hurlers
will draw the blinds.
These two forces, a dominant player and equally
dominant pitching, have served to make the regular
Sportswriter
Matt Michell
senior journalism major
season in both the NBA and the National
League largely a moot point.
Woods, at the ripe old age of 21, is
already widely viewed as the best golferin
the world. He has shown the ability towin
with less than his best game, and dis
played a mental fortitude equal, if not
greater, to that of any player on tour. The
question is not if he will win another
major, but when.
In response to Woods’ success, crowds
of prepubescent par-seekers have
descended upon municipal courses like
locusts of biblical proportions, snapping up tee
times and swoosh logos by the bunches. IfWoods
continues to win, look for this
trend to continue as well.
But what happens when
Woods gets into his thir
ties? Will his contin
ued success have
numbed spectators
when his mammoth
drives have become
commonplace?
Some say
Americans never tire
of success, and surely
an athlete of such
cross-cultural appeal
can continue to
be a sort of
golf s every-
man, the
heroic
symbol
of
America's
melting
pot.
But for every'
sports legend there
has been a nemesis, and
arch-foe. The Bulls’ greatness
will ultimately be challenged when
the subject of trite rivals is broached.
Chamberlain had Russell, All had Frazier.
Even in the present context of golf, Jack
Nicklaus had Arnold Palmer and then
Tom Watson.
Tiger needs a foil. This could come
in the form of golf s previous young
gun, South African Ernie Els, who
has vied for golf s top ranking with
Tiger for much of the year, the 27
year-old's game is technically sound, and he rani
plays himself out of tournaments.
And while Els lacks Woods’ eye-popping power,
his short game is among the best on tour, which
could prove to be Woods’ Achilles heel.
It’s a heel that should be exposed if golf want to
continue to capitalize on Woods’ popularity. Even a
legend must have mortal moments.
Let’s just hope his peers are up to the challenge.

Rodman loses wrestling debut
Chicago Bulls bad boy puts on a show for pay-per-view
body slams and headlocks in
NEW!
Local Radio News
from the newsroom of
campus and community news
8:04 a.m.
Monday through Friday
during
NPR Morning Edition
on KAMU-FM 90.9
College Station / Bryan
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) —
Chicago Bulls bad boy Dennis
Rodman, who was suspended by
the NBA for head-butting a referee
and stomping a courtside photog
rapher, put those moves to use
Sunday in his debut as a profes
sional wrestler.
However, Rodman and his tag-
team partner, Hulk Hogan, lost to
Lex Luger and Giant, who stands 7-
foot-4 and 450 pounds, in the World
Championship Wrestling match.
The 25-minute bout ended after
Luger got Hogan in a “torture rack’’
submission hold above his head.
“I feel great,” Rodman said
after the fight.
Rodman, wearing glitter, rouge
and stripes on his face and black
nail polish, posed for pictures
with Hogan before the match.
“It ain’t about being big or
strong. It’s about having it in the
head,” Rodman said. “I’m not
one-dimensional.”
Unlike the
NBA, the only
rules were no
biting, no eye
gouging and no
throwing
wrestlers past
the first row of
spectators. The
match was
being aired on
pay-per-view
television.
“Rodman’s going to be great,”
Hogan said before the match. “He
has to make a real good show
tonight because everyone is
watching him.”
The Dallas-born Rodman
joins the Green Bay Packers’
Reggie White as a professional
athlete trying a second career of
Rodman
the ring.
Rodman should be able to hold
his own because he’s an excellent
athlete, said Alan Sharp, a WCW
spokesman.
“He bumps and grinds with the
biggest monsters in the NBA. Let's
see what he can do with the boys
in the WCW,” Sharp said.
Rodman has been training for
the match since the Bulls won
their fifth NBA championship in
seven years last month.
Hogan said he didn’t expect
Rodman to become a permanent
face on the wrestling circuit but he
wouldn’t be averse to fighting
with him again.
“The bottom line is if he takes
it to another level, I’ll hold onto
his pantyhose,” Hogan said.
“It’s entertainment. That’s what
this is about.”
Rangers, Mariners set strikout record
SEATTLE (AP) — Randy Johnson got his
share of strikeouts, and there were a lot more of
them, too.
When the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners got
through swinging Sunday, they a major-league
record 31 strikeouts for a nine-inning game. And the
Rangers finally solved their inability to beat the
Mariners, winning 4-2 with two runs in the ninth.
Johnson struck out 14 and Bobby Ayala four as
Texas tied its record for strikeouts in a game, last
done Sept. 27, 1992.
Bobby Witt (nine), Dan Patterson (two) and John
Wetteland (two) combined to fan 13 Mariners. Witt's
nine strikeouts were the most by a Rangers pitcher
this year.
When Wettleland fanned Rob Ducey to end the
game, that broke the previous strikeout record of30,
set by Seattle (18) and Oakland April 19, 1986.
Oakland’s Jose Rijo had 16 and Seattle’s Mari
Langston five in that game.
