Golf legends finally get nod
curtis Strange holds the U.S. Open Championship trophy over his head after defeating Nick Faldo in the fifth round playoff at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., in 1988. Strange and Hubert Green were each selected to the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday.

"I never really thought much about the Hall of Fame until Hubert would call me every year about this time and say, 'Did you get the call?' Strange said. "And I would say, No. You?"
Strange, the dominant American golfer of the 1980s whose career was defined by his consecutive U.S. Open victories, was elected through the PGA Tour ballot with 70 percent of the vote, easily getting the required 65 percent.
The call finally arrived for both Wednesday.
SAVANNAH, Ga. — It almost became a rite of spring for Curtis Strange and Hubert Green, two players with Hall of Fame credentials and blunt opinions who kept watching their peers get one of the highest honors in golf.
Green won 19 times and two majors, no victory more memorable than the 1977 U.S. Open at Southern Hills when he was told of a death threat on the back nine of the final round and handled it with fearless tenacity.
this year, giving her the required 10 years on tour.
The World Golf Hall of Fame will announce other selections through either the Veteran's Category or Lifetime Achievement this summer.
"On 15, I hit my second shot in the back of the green; the pin was in the front," Green recalled. "I got over the putt and I'm thinking, 'Am I supposed to be shot?' Hit the

Burton close to points lead
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jeff Burton is still chasing a championship. And he hasn't gotten dirty.
Almost 40 years old and nearly three years after a team switch that had some writing off the once up-and-coming star, Burton is only eight points behind Jeff Gordon for the Nextel Cup points lead.
"I feel like I'm new at it again," said Burton, in his 14th Cup season. "My enthusiasm is as high as it's ever been, my excitement is as high as it's ever been and I hope that people look at me and say I can do it again."
Burton's coming off his first victory of the season at Texas, where his only lead came after he passed former Roush Racing teammate Matt Kenseth on the backstretch of the final lap.
Instead of trying to push Kenseth out of the way on the closing laps, Burton raced clean and waited for his chance to pass. It was the same strategy he used last month at

Bristol's short track, when he refused to bump Kyle Busch on the last turn and finished second.
"Racing for the win with Burton is the same as racing for the win with Mark (Martin). You know the guys are going to give you room, you know they are going to race you fair", Kenseth said. "But they're going to drive it for everything it's worth."
Burton became the first two-time winner in the 13 Nextel Cup races at Texas, where in 1997 he got the first of his 19 career victories in the inaugural race on the 1 1/2-mile high-banked track.
When Burton won at Texas a decade ago, it was the first of 17 victories for Roush over a five-season span (1997-2001). He finished in the top five in season points four times and was 10th the other.
By 2004, his ninth season with Roush. Burton was racing without a primary sponsor. After 22 races that year, Burton left Roush for Childress and was replaced in the No. 99 by up-and-coming Carl Edwards, who won four races the following season.
"We were contending for championships and then things got to the point when we couldn't contend at all," Burton said. "We were 12th in points, 12th in points and then 18th. Everyone wrote that off as disgusting, but if you look at the whole scheme of things, it wasn't that bad."
Now in his third full season with Richard Childress Racing, Burton has finished lower than sixth only once in the first seven races. That was a 15th-place finish at Las Vegas after a late penalty for going on pit row when it was closed.
His next race is Saturday in Phoenix, where Burton has won twice — including his last victory for Roush in October 2001.
With Burton, Childress finally might have another championship contender.
Childress last won a title in 1994 when the late Dale Earnhardt won the last of his seven season championships — six of them for Childress.
"It's way too early to start picking where you're gonna be," Childress said. "I think Jeff Burton has all the ability to be a champion. He will be a champion."
"It's the best I've ever gotten off to a start. I'm sure Richard has gotten off to a better start with Earnhardt," Burton said. "I can't imagine getting off to a better start."
Only Gordon, a four-time Cup champion, can match Burton's six top-10 finishes this season. Both have finished in the top five in all but two races.
