-- Martins Dukurs of Latvia dominated a skeleton World Cup event on Saturday for
his fifth victory of the season. The world champion had a combined two-run time
of two minutes 17.45 seconds to finish 1.76 seconds clear of New Zealands Ben
Sandford. Matthew Antoine of the United States trailed Dukurs by 1.82 to finish
third for his seasons best result. Calgarys John Fairbairn was ninth in a time
of 2:20.31. Dukurs earned 225 World Cup points to extend his lead to 106 over
Germanys Frank Rommel, who finished in a tie for fourth place. The skeleton

player has never won a major. The good news is that hes at least thought highly
enough to be considered. The best player at Augusta National to have never won
the Masters? That stings a little bit more. Just ask Greg Norman, who lost by
his own doing twice, by an improbable chip-in and to a Spaniard who simply
outplayed him. Johnny Miller and Tom Weiskopf wont forget the 40-foot birdie
putt by Jack Nicklaus on the 16th hole in 1975. Ernie Els came close, and he
found out how badly it hurt last year when he didnt qualify to return. Masters
champions can return the rest of their lives. Heres five players haunted by
never winning the Masters: ___ 5. TOM WEISKOPF Weiskopf doesnt have a green
jacket, but he at least got his name in the record book at Augusta National as
the most runner-up finishes — four — without ever winning. Worse yet for
Weiskopf is that he had those four second-place finishes over seven years. It
wasnt a lack of effort, and more than anything it was bad timing at Augusta. He
was three shots out of the lead in 1969 and wound up one shot behind George
Archer. Three years later, he couldnt make up any ground against Jack Nicklaus,
finishing three shots back. In 1974, he again was three shots back of Dave
Stockton and finished behind Gary Player. The following year was painful.
Weiskopf had a one-shot lead over his nemesis, Nicklaus, and they went
back-and-forth on the back nine until Nicklaus holed his long birdie putt on the
16th and Weiskopf never caught up. He missed a birdie putt on the 18th, and the
Golden Bear had another green jacket. He summed up his career best from the
broadcast booth when asked what Nicklaus was thinking as he stood over an
important shot. "If I knew what he was thinking," Weiskopf said, "Id have won
this championship." ___ 4. JOHNNY MILLER Miller falls into this category for his
sheer talent and three runner-up finishes, though it certainly wasnt a weekend
collapse. He first showed potential in the majors with a 68-68 weekend at
Augusta in 1971, finishing two shots behind Charles Coody. He matched the low
score of the final round in 1981 when Miller shot a 68, but all that did was
give him a tie for second with Nicklaus, two shots behind Tom Watson. His best
chance, as with Weiskopf, was in 1975. Miller found himself 11 shots behind
Nicklaus going into the weekend, but he answered with a 65 on Saturday to make
up eight of those shots against Nicklaus. Even so, Miller still was four shots
behind Weiskopf when he put together another sensational run of birdies. Miller
played in the last group with Weiskopf, and both were on the 16th tee when
Nicklaus made his 40-foot putt. Miller wound up with a 66 and another silver
medal. ___ 3. ERNIE ELS The Big Easy was one shot out of the lead going into the
weekend in 2000 and thought he had shot himself out of the tournament with a 74
in the third round to fall four shots behind. But he was right there with a
chance when David Duval couldnt keep pace with Vijay Singh. He had three good
birdie chances at the end and didnt make any of them, settling for a 68 to
finish three shots behind Singh. "I was really trying to push too hard," Els
said. That didnt hurt nearly as baad as 2004. babyliss
uk. In one of the best duels in years at the Masters, Els made an
eagle at No. 8 and No. 13 and looked like this might be his year. He played two
groups in front of Mickelson, and they were trading birdies throughout the back
nine. Els closed with two pars for a 67, and then headed to the practice green
to see if there would be a playoff. He never saw Mickelson hit his 18-foot
birdie putt. He didnt have to see it. The cheer was deafening, and Els picked up
his golf ball and walked quietly to the clubhouse. "I played as good as I
could," he said. "What more can you do, you know?" ___ 2. DAVID DUVAL When he
reached the top of the world rankings in 1999, Duval was the only player to be
No. 1 in the world without ever having won a major. Most figured he would take
care of that at the Masters. Much like Tom Weiskopf, Duval seemed to have a
chance at Augusta every year. Turns out the closest call might have been his
first runner-up finish. He was in Jones Cabin in 1998, having closed with a 67.
He was poised to get into a playoff with Mark OMeara, and club chairman Jack
Stephens felt the same way. "Dont worry, David. Nobody ever makes this putt,"
Stephens told him. OMeara made the putt. A year later, Duval recovered from a
poor start and was closing in on the lead when his tee shot on No. 11 clipped a
tree and dropped down, and it killed his momentum. The next year, he was back
for more. Duval had the 36-hole lead until a 74 in the third round. He still was
right there and appeared to have the advantage when Singh found the water on the
11th. The hole location was in the one spot where relief is granted near the
green, and Singh escaped with only a bogey. Duval hit into the water on No. 13
and thus ended his chances. And then there was 2001, when he missed birdie putts
of 12 feet and 6 feet on the last two holes, and wound up two shots behind
Tiger Woods. That was only his second runner-up finish, but he went four
straight years with a solid chance on the back nine and failed to win. ___ 1.
GREG NORMAN Greg Norman is the face of suffering at Augusta National, the only
debate being which one haunts him the most. He is most famous for his collapse
in 1996, the year he tied the course record with a 63 in the opening round and
still had a six-shot lead over Nick Faldo going into Sunday. The Shark missed a
short putt on the 10th, three-putted for bogey from medium range on the 11th,
hit into Raes Creek on the 12th. He dropped to his knees when his eagle chip
narrowly missed on the 15th, and it was over for good with a tee shot into the
water on the 16th. Norman had a 78 to finish five behind Faldo — an 11-shot
swing. That was his fault. Equally devastating was his playoff loss in 1987
against Larry Mize, who appeared to be in trouble to the right of the 11th
green. The only thing that could stop Mizes pitch was the hole, and it did. It
was one of the most improbable birdies ever in a playoff at Augusta. Norman made
a furious rally in 1986 and needed a birdie to win on the 18th. But his approach
sailed over the green and he made bogey, leading to Jack Nicklaus winning. And
then there was 1999, when Olazabal matched his birdies and reduced Norman to
another close call. The Masters remains the only major that an Australian has
never won. Whoever does will surely say, "This one is for Greg." Marshawn Lynch Jersey Jonathan Toews
