Quiz time - three of the four won all the majorOdd man out is a jockey--rode a good number of famous horses in his day. About the same time frame as the golfers, probably closest to Arnold
titles in his sport in one season. Who is the odd
man out?
Palmer in age, IIRC.
There are a lot of Korean golfers in the LPGA now, most names hardly
known outside of the country. Michelle Wie, the teen age phenom that we
heard a lot about while we were in HI, is in her late 20s but has only
won one major, one minor tournament since turning pro at age 16. Paula
Creamer is a bit older than Michelle but did better some years ago, same
as Anika Sorenstam. Those names might be vaguely familiar. (G)

Hah. It wouldn't be a miracle. It's one of thoseToo early in the season to be trying to figure out who to buy playoff

treatment by some deity or other superpower. We have
to remember that for every Brit praying "God save

In some way, Arcaro was the odd man out, never having
won a major golf tournament, but he did win all the big
ones in horse racing. Palmer was the one who didn't win
all the major events in his field (despite his reputation).

Some people peak early.

Paula Creamer, I think she's too young for me to have
heard of.

But not too early to start saving up. Put a fiver a
week into the jar and you might have enough at the
end of the season for a game. Put in ten and you might
be able to get there.
