author! author!

Chris Lewis began covering golf at the dawn of the Tiger Era, and has contributed to all the game’s major US publications. Most recently he worked (to the tune of 20 to 25 PGA Tour events per year) as a golf correspondent for Sports Illustrated. He has also written on sports, business, art, film, and music for publications as diverse as Wired, Spin, Art in America, and The Wall Street Journal. A New York native, he now lives in Atlanta. His late, lamented SI.com column twice received honors from the Golf Writers Association of America.

D. Hack on Amy Alcott on Phil

Kudos to Damon Hack for a nice get in his first honest-to-goodness golf piece for SI: a tete-a-tete with LPGA Hall of Famer and recent Phil Mickelson tutor Amy Alcott. A sample:

"To win on a course like this is like winning at Winged Foot or Augusta," said Alcott, who sneaked onto Riviera as a teenager and now plays the course as a member. "You have to be a real artist. This course has a great feel to it, great character and a great personality. I think this is going to give him a lot of momentum."
