The good weather over the weekend brought out the best in the Dartmouth track and field squads, as the men’s team took second place and the women’s team finished third at the New England Track and Field Championships, held from Thursday to Saturday, at Memorial Field in Hanover. More »
You might think in light of Phil Mickelson’s PGA Player’s Championship victory this past weekend at TPC Sawgrass in Jacksonville, Fla., that WOE would begin this week with an apology to Phil and perhaps even congratulations for winning golf’s “fifth” major. But sadly, you’d be wrong. There will be no such congratulatory remarks for Phil until he decides to start wearing some sort of chest support on the course. It must be really uncomfortable with those things flopping around every time he swings. Instead, WOE would like to nominate Sean O’Hair for an award. O’Hair, who fell from first place to a tie for 11th overall after a final-round 76, finished at -5 for the tournament. What the leaderboard won’t tell you, however, is that Sean O’Hair may in fact have the biggest set of cojones on the PGA Tour. Standing on the tee box of the infamous 17th hole with the island green 135 yards away and still just two shots back of Mickelson, O’Hair took dead aim at the far right pin location and went for the birdie — but found the water. Twice. O’Hair went on to make quadruple bogie. Congratulations Sean O’Hair — you play to win, not for second place. At the young age of 24, you actually understand what sports are all about, and gave up nearly $750,000 in prize money for a chance to win the Players. Sean O’Hair, you are WOE’s first-ever Badass of the Weekend. More »
