In a story March 7 and 8 about Dan Jenkins' death, The Associated Press erroneously reported that he was 89. FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Dan Jenkins, the sports writing great and best-selling author whose career covered Ben Hogan to Tiger Woods, began with Western Union and ended with Twitter, has died. "The message on my tombstone will be, 'I knew this would happen,'" Jenkins always said, exemplifying the trenchant humor he brought to the 232 major championships he attended, starting with the 1941 U.S. Open at Colonial as a 12-year-old in his hometown.
