Modest Hatton reaches new heights in burgeoning golf career

Tyrrell Hatton found it surreal when he looked at golf’s world ranking and saw himself at a career-high No. 5, above the likes of Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. A golfer once best known for his loud and often self-deprecating outbursts on the course is now better regarded as a proven winner on the European Tour. The latest big victory in the 29-year-old Hatton’s burgeoning career came in Abu Dhabi last week, when he outplayed McIlroy in the final round to win by four shots and claim a sixth title on the European Tour.

Who is the NFL’s ultimate clutch playoff player?

Joe Montana (16 playoff wins, 7 losses) Montana won four Super Bowls and 16 playoffs games, illustrating he was just effective in the postseason as the regular. The former 49er was the greatest of all time before a certain Tom Brady came along. In part due his performances in the Super Bowls he won, collecting three Super Bowl MVP awards. Montana also went on a streak of 122 passes in the playoffs without an interception. A remarkable showing of accuracy and decision making under pressure. Emmitt Smith (17 playoff appearances) Smith is the only non-quarterback on the list, after all, the control and decision making required in the cauldron of playoff games falls heavily on the quarterback. However, Smith’s performances in the postseason are just too impressive to be ignored. Smith is the all-time leader for playoff yards with 1,586 yards. He also scored 19 touchdowns in the postseason, including five that were in Super Bowls.
