If golf 2010 reminded us of anything it was that seasons are often remembered not as much by what was accomplished as they are by the moments that made people pay attention.There are news stories and then there are newsmakers. Although easily confused, the two are as different as a hook and a slice. News is the result of proficiency and production. Something happens. It is created by events, challenge and adversity.
Making people look is always interesting, but not always an accomplishment.
Because no season in memory so blurred the lines as 2010, somebody has to sort the laundry.
NEWSMAKER -- Tiger Woods
Never has so many words been written and said about a golfer who did not win a single event.
Everybody knows why. Woods' tumble from his lofty perch became news, but the reasons that caused it were all self-inflicted wounds.
The rest of the story: There's a little National Inquirer in everybody.
NEWS STORY -- Lee Westwood
The 38-year-old Englishman replaced Woods as the world's No. 1 ranked golfer. Considering almost six years had passed since anyone could make a similar claim, that's news.
Westwood won only once on the PGA Tour in 2010, but finished second in both the Masters and British Open. And after coming back from being sidelined for almost two months, he immediately starred in Europe's Ryder Cup victory and added a victory in South Africa.
The rest of the story: Now, let's talk about a major championship.
