During today's Masters broadcast, CBS announcer Bobby Clampett referred to Chinese golfer Liang Wen-Chong as "the chinaman." According to CBS spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade, Clampett later apologized on the Masters webcast. Clampett has been working Amen Corner the last two days, and his commentary can be heard both online and on DirecTV. He used the "chinaman" slur while describing Liang's ...

Armchair Golf at the Masters: Amen Corner
armchairgolfblog.blogspot.com 4/8/2008 — As you can see from the below photos, it was overcast at Augusta National on my Monday at the Masters. It was also quite cool until the sun broke through the thick cloud cover in the early afternoon. John Coyne and I made a couple of loops through Amen Corner, the three-hole stretch of 11, 12 and 13 named by legendary golf journalist Herbert Warren Wind in a 1958 Sports Illustrated piece. ...

Rumors and Rants
Even for those who find golf interesting, this year's Masters was remarkably boring. A guy with a rather pedestrian background cruised to a win that was so easy that even I could have teed up on 18 with his lead and won, provided that my slice wouldn't have killed someone in the gallery first. (On a sidenote, I'm all about Cinderella stories at Augusta. It's just a bit more interesting when ...
Apparently, Boo Weekley Isn't Smarter Than He Looks —
FanHouse
You know, I figured Boo Weekley was putting on the act. Like Larry the Cable Guy or something. Apparently, he just isn't very smart. Last year, he had trouble counting to 74 , and this week, he continues his assault on common sense and reason. Playing in his first Masters , Weekley, earlier this week, called Augusta National "just another golf course," and when asked about Amen Corner, he ...
Mark O'Meara Just Told Amen Corner He Isn't Religious —
Dogs That Chase Cars
I'm not sure of Mark O'Meara's affiliation with the church, but I can promise you this - the dude never says Amen after praying. That is probably why the 1998 champion just went birdie-birdie-birdie through Amen Corner and is currently one-under for the tournament. Also, Tiger Woods is off to his typical Masters start, making a lot of pars and not doing anything crazy. He is even par ...
