Reader's Forum What do you think was golf's biggest story this year and why do you rate it the highest? The decision of Augusta National to not admit a woman member and to maintain its stance in the face of pressure from Martha Burk; Annika Sorenstam's 11 wins in one LPGA Tour season; Tiger Woods claiming two major titles and continuing to dominate men's professional golf; the European team winning the Ryder Cup; the sharing of titles twice in Europe and Australia; the large number of first-time winners on the PGA Tour; or something else?
