Who's Trevor Immelman? "The 36-hole [Masters] leader...only four months ago was in a hospital in South African to begin a speedy recovery from a benign tumor that doctors removed from his diaphragm." Amazing.

Who's Tiger Woods? "The Grand Slam that Woods said was 'easily within reason' will have to start with the second-best comeback at Augusta National...The largest 36-hole comeback in Masters history was Jack Burke Jr. in 1956, and that required a weekend collapse by Ken Venturi, who played that year as an amateur."

Is lefty the favorite? "Phil Mickelson, who has won the green jacket two of the last four years, got enough out of his second round to post a bogey-free 68 and was three shots behind at 139."

How are the NHL playoffs treating you?

How about the NBA where the Warriors could end up winning 50 games this year and NOT make the playoffs?
