Bogeymen of Oakmont Cherish a Troubled Open
Jim Murray writes of Oakmont's Open as a hangout for bogeys and misfits. He ridicules the course and the field while praising the dramatic 12th hole and the brutal test that defines the U S Open atmosphere. The piece blends satire with sharp golf lore and a libertine love of chaos on the course.

Montana guides acquitted as federal agents shot game
U S District Judge James Battin dismissed charges against Nelson Sanford and his three sons for guiding undercover agents on elk and bighorn hunts in Yellowstone Park and on Crow Reservation. Evidence showed federal agents killed the animals, not the Sanfords, though some conspiracy charges were dismissed earlier. The judge suggested appealing the ruling to the Ninth Circuit.
