Nearly 50,000 people jammed the Pebble Beach Golf Links yesterday for the final round of the AT&T National Pro-Am, many of whom--drawn by the presence of Tiger Woods and amateur partner Kevin Costner--were seeing a golf tournament for the first time. Among the humorous vignettes this produced: "What does it mean by negative 13?" one woman asked a score-board operator. A man approached a writer early in the day and asked: "What's the agenda here?" When told the leaders would tee off in two hours he asked, "And where would that happen...
Discipline, however, is hardly the first requirement in the showy professional world.

After capturing an unprecedented third straight U.S. Amateur in August, Woods turned pro and promptly...
...Seattle Mariners' extraordinary shortstop. In his first full season in the majors, Rodriguez hit an American League-leading .358 with 36 homers, 123 rbis, 141 runs scored and a slugging percentage of .631. He may have had the best offensive season by a shortstop--ever. Like acquaintance Tiger Woods (whom he knows through their mutual friend Ken Griffey Jr.), Rodriguez is an exceedingly classy act. Raised by his Dominican mother in Miami, Alex maintains, "My mom always said, 'I don't care if you turn out to be a terrible ballplayer. I just want you to be a good person...
