THE ZAPPER

The Ryder Cup, scheduled for this weekend, was postponed until 2002, but golf fans won't be without drama. "The Troubleshooters Challenge" (Golf Channel, Tuesday, 8 p.m.), a segment on the Academy Live series, will recount the attempt of retired Key Largo, Fla., policeman David McClain, 49, to break 100 under the tutelage of renowned instructor Jim McLean.... CBS's translucent score box, introduced on U.S. Open tennis telecasts and used on the network's NFL broadcasts, is a welcome innovation, but it should be enlarged. You need the eyes of a Ted Williams to read it.
