Lenny's been trying to close a real estate deal with one of the new kids on the block, a Russian tough named Uri (Karel Roden). But people keep stealing the multimillion-pound swag.

Following a good shot or bad, his smile seemed to acknowledge the reality, so elusive to all athletes, that win or lose he was still being paid a lot of money to play a game. In his joyous acceptance speech on Sunday, Harrington recounted a telling anecdote from his second round. After a double bogey that could have taken him out of the running, he was walking to the next tee box when a fan reached over the ropes, patted...
