"On the death of a brother, Tiger's epic Masters and the bonding power of sports"

A touching read from ESPN.com’s Ian O’Connor. Just a snippet…

As a sports journalist, you are not allowed to root for a team or an athlete. You are allowed to root for the best available story. So I was rooting for Tiger Woods for selfish reasons, at least until I saw the look on Dan's face with two holes to go.

Then I stopped rooting for Tiger to win for me. I started rooting for Tiger to win for him.
