The Memorial Tournament, this week’s stop on the PGA Tour, is at the beautifully-crafted Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Nicklaus is the founder and host of the event that annually boasts one of the stronger fields on tour.

I was strongly influenced by mother. She gave me a view of a new age for women in the future. But in real life that way of living was not possible.

Barca remove director after Messi comments Gratacos was Barca’s representative at the draw for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey and after the Blaugrana were paired with Real Sociedad in the last eight, the club’s director of institutional relations was asked about that and some other matters concerning the team.

The finish sees the Argentine reclaim the record for most Champions League goals for one club, surpassing the mark of 105 set by Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid. Now with Juventus, Ronaldo would be very unlikely to reclaim that record any time soon. The two still remain atop the competition’s all-time scoring charts with Ronaldo currently on 121 Champions League goals to lead the way....

Wednesday was the fifth anniversary of the arrest of Bernie Madoff, which threw things into disarray for the Mets because of owner Fred Wilpon's significant investments with the Ponzi schemer. New York has not had a winning record since then, and while it is debatable whether the Mets will get over .500 in 2014, they are clearly pointing in the right direction. One scout called Colon a "good sign" for the Mets, and when putting his resume next to that of Scott Feldman, who got a three-year, $30 million deal from the Houston Astros, it certainly is....
