As little as one-tenth of an ounce of paraquat can kill humans who swallow it. Lesser amounts can cause scarring of the lungs, which can lead to an irreversible condition called pulmonary fibrosis. The herbicide can also cause lung hemorrhaging and vomiting...

Player's sixth sense has been invaluable for a golfer who regularly plays in championships on every continent. This year he won his tenth South African Open. On Sunday he displayed all of his dexterity in gauging the manifold contours of Augusta's greens, which hold approach shots much better than the hard greens of South African courses...
