Stewart Cink is a nice golfer -- ranked 29th in the world, a member of the 2008 Ryder Cup-winning U.S. team -- and one of the most affable, accessible guys on the PGA Tour. But the 17th flagstick at Sawgrass has more star power than the laid-back Atlantan. So why does a digital version of Arnie's Army, 280,000 strong and surging, follow Cink's musings on Twitter? Perhaps they are riveted by the revelations that he recently forgot the departure time of a flight, got lost driving around Jacksonville Beach and -- brace yourself -- refilled his allergy medication. Even Cink is bemused. "I'm honored," he said of the size of his audience. "I respect and am grateful to everybody choosing to listen to the b.s. that I've put on Twitter."

It was simple math: Stewart Cink faced a 15-foot par putt that would potentially force a Monday playoff at the 2001 U.S. Open at Southern Hills. Even if Cink made it, playing partner Retief Goosen could roll in his 12-foot birdie try for the win. However, unlike Phil's Flop at Winged Foot or Van de Velde's Carn-oopsie, what came next was a two-car pileup. Cink missed the putt, but, in a hurry to get out ofGoosen's way, also missed the 18-inch comebacker. Then, the unflappable Goosen followed with a three-putt of his own, including another missed tap-in. The result: Cink's blown gimme cost him a spot in the playoff where Goosen defeated Mark Brooks. With the PGA Championship at Southern Hills this month, Cink hasn't tried to repress his momentous gaffe because, he says, "I don't try not to think about anything." But why did Cink do it? How did a trained professional with decades oftournament experience miss a putt that a toddler could convert? It's a question Cink, with his

The putt was so easy a child could have made it. Stewart Cink, playing with Davis Love III and leading in the final round of the 2000 Colonial, went to tap in, to get out of Love's way, to tidy up on the 5th hole ... and missed.

Phil Mickelson was playing so well at the Players last week, and has such a good record at this week's AT&T Classic at TPC Sugarloaf (three W's, last year by 13 strokes), it seemed well within the realm of possibility that the surging lefty might take advantage of a little-used Tour bylaw and parlay his Sawgrass victory Sunday into a late entry for Sugarloaf. How could he lose? It seemed he would be almost guaranteed to prevail, guaranteed to pad his FedEx Cup and World Ranking points, to edge closer to Tiger, to fatten his bank account by another $972,000.
