The Good, The Bad and The...(14/12)

The Good – Peter Senior

Peter Senior has proved that "age is but a number" and shot his way into the record books, as one of the rare golfers to win tournaments across five decades.

At the second hole of a sudden death playoff on Hyatt Coolum's closing hole, the 51 year old toppled Australian Open champion Geoff Ogilvy to claim his third Australian PGA title.

The victory comes 21 years after Senior's first Australian Open triumph in 1989, and he seems to be enjoying his golf more than ever.

"Tom Watson proved that age is nothing when he nearly won the British Open (at 59), so we are really lucky that we play a long-life sport that we can get a lot of enjoyment out of".

Senior has now earned above $1 million in earnings for this year.

The Bad – Donald Sterling/Baron Davis

Baron Davis is used to being heckled, however, the recent jeers directed at the team’s struggling point guard are coming from a far more surprising source: The man paying Davis, Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Sterling has expressed his displeasure about Davis’ play by taunting him from his courtside seat at Clippers’ home games, amongst Sterling’s verbal attacks:

“Why are you in the game?”, “Why did you take that shot?”, “You’re out of shape!”.

While Sterling has also taunted other Clippers players since the middle of last season, none have received it worse than Davis. Davis has missed 14 of the team’s 25 games this season and is only averaging 7.4 points, while making a team-high $13 million.

One member of the organization who wished to remain anonymous expressed disappointment in Sterling’s lack of support for Davis and the players.

“The owner of the team has to be the main supporter of the team and the staff”, the source said.

“And when the owner of the team isn’t supporting the players, it doesn’t give you confidence to play the way you want to. This guy is supposed to be on your side, not against you. You want someone who can support what you’re doing and be on your side”.

The … Streak – Brett Favre

Brett Favre will miss his first NFL start in more than 18 years as a strained throwing shoulder has sidelined the quarterback for today's game against the New York Giants.

Favre was listed on Minnesota's inactive list with an injury that snapped his National Football League record for consecutive starts at 297, dating back to September 20, 1992 with the Green Bay Packers.

The 41 year old Favre has fought through various injuries to get on the field throughout his illustrious career with the Packers, New York Jets and Vikings, but the three-time league MVP could not overcome the latest injury, suffered last week against the Buffalo Bills.
