Inside Golf | Seeing green: Watson's miraculous shot propels him to victory at The Masters
April 10On Sunday, with the world's most prestigious green jacket on the line, two of the greatest shots ever hit at Augusta National told the story of the 2012 Masters Tournament.

But on a weekend that was supposed to feature the aforementioned players, the day belonged to Louis Oosthuizen, a smiley, 29?year?old, gap?toothed South African, and Bubba Watson, a General Lee driving, boy?band singing lefty who uses a pink driver. And boy, did they produce the spectacular.

Field Hockey | Amherst embraces Lindsay-nity: Griffith to join Lord Jeffs' staff
April 5Senior Lindsay Griffith has always had two things in her blood: the NESCAC and coaching. Her parents were both dual-sport athletes at Bates.

William - or Will Da Beast, as he is lovingly called - would go on to coach a young Lindsay in soccer, while Tracey would coach her two former sports on the middle- and high-school levels for 10 years.
