Lu Harris-Champer's Georgia women's softball team won its 40th victory of the season, a former Bulldog golfer won the Stadion Classic for the second straight year, and several Red and Black squads are bound for SEC and NCAA tourney fields.
One of the more astonishing things that came up early on Sunday in the final round of the Players was just how much more difficult Sawgrass was playing as compared to the first three days.

We are about an hour away from the final group teeing off at TPC Sawgrass in the last round of the Players Championship.
A couple from Florida turned Sawgrass' 8th green into a swampy parking lot.

On the grounds of TPC Sawgrass, both reporters and players are calling that the Tiger Woods-Hank Haney facade for what is really happening: a drawn out break-up of the duo that has been working together since late 2003. Could Sean Foley replace Haney?
Jason Sobel of ESPN found a sign at the Players Championship explaining Sergio Garcia's parking arrangements this week.
The beauty about a tournament like The Players Championship is that so many of the storylines around the tournament remain consistent from one year to the next. We present them all for you in one post.
