Sports in Review

The Irish Masters final is today. Number 1-ranked Ronnie O'Sullivan goes up against Matt Stevens after beating number 2-ranked Mark Williams on Saturday.

The great golfing-bigot Bobby Jones once said of greater golfer Jack Nicklaus that "Nicklaus played a game with which I am not familiar." The assessment of Nicklaus is similar to the assessment of O'Sullivan, of whom it is said that he has played as "not seen in the game before."

O'Sullivan has earned over $8,160,239 in his career. If he beats Matt Stevens today, he will cement his No. 1 ranking with his fourth major championship of the World Championship Snooker season.

And personally disappointing to me is the fact that not one American has cracked the top 100 in the International Table Tennis Federation's world rankings.
