There was nothing overrated about Rickie Fowler at The Players Championship. Criticized this week by his peers as an underachiever, Fowler answered with the greatest finish in the 34-year history at the TPC Sawgrass. He rallied from a five-shot deficit on the back nine by playing the final six holes in 6-under par. In a three-hole playoff, he took on every shot.

I sometimes can not believe the direction America is headed. We used to be a nation of people governed by law and order. There used to be consequences for breaking the law in America.

The political director for the Republican Party of New Mexico quit his post this week after only two months on the job, but not before taking some parting shots at his former employers. Sergio Garcia wrote in his resignation letter, turned in Tuesday night, that "destructive forces" within the state GOP had undermined his credibility and stifled his opinions. "I have come to the realization that the current environment is no longer conducive for moving forward with any strategic plan of positioning the party for the future.

Heckled mercilessly by some in the gallery who seem to have forgotten that golf is a genteel sport, Love yelled back during Sunday's final round at the Western Open. After blasting out of a tricky spot in the rough on the par-4 17th, Love looked at a fan, glared and started toward him.
