GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
On a day when 59-year-old Tom Watson was going for his ninth major victory, former Major League pitcher Rick Rhoden, 56, won for the eighth time at the Lake Tahoe Celebrity Championship. The victory earned Rhoden a cool $125,000, which brings his career winnings at Tahoe to $1.13 million. Some perspective: the most Rhoden ever earned during a baseball season was $900,000, in 1989 with the Houston Astros.
For those interested in the final-round details: Rhoden ended the weekend with 74 points in the modified Stableford format (he fired a 2-over 74 on Sunday), outlasting ex-NHLer Dan Quinn, a four-time winner at Tahoe. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who led the event after the first round, finished third.
And everybody's golf charity case Charles Barkley, wrestled last place from mixed martial arts fighter Chuck Liddell. Sir Charles finished at minus-97, which sounds kinda low after seeing this.
"It was terrible," Barkley told the Tahoe Daily Tribune. "I'm really worried about Hank [Haney]. Between Tiger and myself, he might kill himself."
Upshot: Chuck didn't kill any spectators.
