?Do the Math
Here's all you need to know about Mark Calcavecchia's third Win Phoenix: 60,256,28,32.

?Pretty as a Picture
Grace Park says she aged 10 years taming the Blue Monster. You be the judge.

?NO Surprise
All Jack Nicklaus had to do to win the Skins was lose, and he has never been good at that.

?Second Nature
Justin Rose makes it two in a row, runner-up finishes that is, at the South African Open.

? PGA
Calcavecchia's eight-shot win over Rocco mediate at the TPC of Scottsdale was the largest margin of victory since Tiger Woods's 11-stroke runaway at the NEC Invitational in August....
Calcavecchia had an 11-under 60 in the second round, and over the 72 holes broke Mike Sauchak's Tour record of 257, tied John Huston's mark of 28 under and established a record by making 32 birdies....
Sorry, MJ, Woods will play with longtime bud Jerry Chang, who is attending business school at UCLA, for a second straight year at this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

? LPGA
Park's six-under 280 at the Office Depot in Miami was one better than ICarrie Webb's total. Park, 21, had won twice before at Doral, at the 1995 and '96 Doral Publix Junior championships Aree Wongluekiet, 14, will play in the Nabisco Championship (March 22-25) for a second consecutive year. She tied for 10th in 2000.

?SENIOR
Nicklaus, who was leading with 10 skins and $260,000, could've won the Senior Skins Game at Wailca Golf Club on Maui, Hawaii, by missing a four-footer for a halve with skinless Gary Player on the 18th hole. Instead, he made the putt, then lost the playoff for the final three skins to Hate Irwin, who wound up with $320,000.

?ALSO
Rose, 20, was denied his first pro win for a second straight week when Mark McNulty sank a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole at East London Country Club....
David Small of New Zealand won for the second time in seven days on the Australasian tour, edging '99 U.S. Amateur champ David Gossett by a shot in the Canon Challenge in Sydney.
