Don't look now, but Y.E. Yang is currently one stroke behind the leaders at the PGA.

Nice article on Yang and the memorable beginning of Tiger's Untergang here.

During a Rogers Cup match, Nick Kyrgios muttered to Stan Wawrinka, "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that mate."

Maybe it's the Internet Era, but I can't remember an athlete going from Not on My Radar to Amusing to Christ, What an Asshole as quickly as Kyrgios.

I don't understand that Kyrgios story. I read a claim he was so far away from Wawrinka that it was muttered out of earshot and only picked up by court mikes.

But if that's true, why say it? Can you psych yourself out by trash talking opponents only to yourself?
