AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The leaderboard says the Masters has become something of an old-timers' game, and what golf fan wouldn't sign up for that? Phil Mickelson, 46, is still within striking distance of replacing Jack Nicklaus as the tournament's oldest champion, and Fred Couples, 57, is still threatening a quarter century after he caught the break of a lifetime on the devilish bank feeding into Rae's Creek.
Sergio Garcia? He's only 37, but he has never won a major and once conceded at Augusta National that he never will and so, you know, it seems like he's 37 going on 47.
