Stingers: Hall of Fame making a bogey with Ken Venturi omission

On Monday night, the World Golf Hall of Fame will induct new members Phil Mickelson, Peter Alliss, Sandy Lyle, Hollis Stacy and Dan Jenkins. Bravo. They each deserve the honor. There is, however, one individual just as deserving who will not join this talented group, and it's a mistake. I am referring to Ken Venturi. Don't haggle with me over the numbers, the fact that he won "only" 14 tournaments and just a single major championship, the 1964 U.S. Open (left). For starters, Tom Kite captured only one major, and the same goes for Tommy Bolt and Lanny Wadkins, and they're in the Hall of Fame. A number of others -- Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Chi Chi Rodriguez come to mind -- got in because of their contributions to the game, which is fair. Yet, if that's going to be the barometer, there is no doubt Venturi also belongs. His work as a CBS analyst for over 30 years will be difficult to match. For me, Venturi ensured his status with that one remarkable day in June of '64 at Congressional. There's never been a story like it in professional golf. Suffering from heat prostration, Venturi somehow summoned the will to play 36 holes, prevailing by four strokes over Tommy Jacobs. It demonstrated what one man who refused to surrender could accomplish in the most challenging conditions on the most challenging layout. No wonder Sports Illustrated selected Venturi as its Sportsman of the Year. Related: The most grueling U.S. Opens Golf, as we all know, is not just about birdies and bogeys. It is about the resiliency of the human spirit. No one has ever displayed as much spirit as Venturi did that day in D.C., and it's quite possible no one ever will. -- Michael Arkush Arkush worked with Venturi on his 2004 autobiography, "Getting Up and Down."(Photo by Getty Images)

While keeping his eye on No. 1, McIlroy also maintains perspective

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Rory McIlroy hopes that by the end of the year, all this to and fro at the top of the World Rankings will be a thing of the past and there'll be a solid No. 1. "I hope you're looking at him," he says. "It's so volatile because guys are playing here and playing there. It seems like, when I play, Luke (Donald) doesn't play; when Luke plays, I don't play. It would be nice to assert my authority in that No. 1 position and keep it for a while." Photo by Getty ImagesIt wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine that McIlroy's march through last year's U.S. Open and up the world rankings began two years ago with a final-round 62 at Quail Hollow CC. "I obviously felt in control at Congressional but, I don't know, I think just under the circumstances, being four back, you follow up a great round like a 66 on a Saturday with a 62, to be able to do that was fun," he says of his first victory in the U.S. Related: The reasons Rory romped at Congressional McIlroy is coming off a seven week stretch where he played just once, and that featured a rather disappointing weekend in Augusta. "I played pretty good the first two days, 71-69, was in third position going into the weekend," he says. "That front nine on Saturday killed me. I struggled to hit the ball right to left at Augusta. I didn't drive the ball particularly well. You need to put your ball in the fairway to have a chance to go at the pins. That was the...
