The Top Five

The top five reactions to the Supreme Court’s decision that permits Casey Martin to use a golf cart in PGA Tour events:

1. Tiger Woods: “You would think we’d be able to govern our own sport. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way.”

2. Steve Hummer, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “The more you hear about the havoc that Martin and his cart will unleash on the sporting plain, the more easily it all can be passed off as spasms of hysteria.”

3. Former Sen. Bob Dole: “Hooray for Casey Martin.”

4. Greg Norman: “That’s about the best news I’ve heard in a long time.”

5. (tie) Joe Gordon, Boston Herald: “Considering the machinations of the Supreme Court in its election rulings last December, it came as no surprise when the once-august body got it wrong again.”

5. Jack Nicklaus: “I think we ought to take [the justices] out and play golf. I think that would change their mind.”
