The experts are being proved wrong at the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament,which rivets sports fans' attention this time of year.Former NBA star and TBS commentator Charles Barkley says it is the most wide open NCAA Tournament he has ever seen.Friday's upsets:

At the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at the Fallen Oak Golf Course near Biloxi,windy conditions confronted the Champions Tour golfers,a brisk breeze whipping the flags.Topping the first round leader board and sharing first place at three under par were:
Hal Sutton(USA)
Steve Elkington(Australia)
Corey Pavin(USA)
Roger Chapman(Kenya)
A rare tornado hit Australia at Mulwala,New South Wales.The twister tossed large chunks of debris around.Only about 16 tornadoes a year occur in Australia,near the coastline.Southern Hemisphere tornadoes swirl in a clockwise direction,while Northern Hemisphere cyclones blow counterclockwise,The Weather Channel pointed out.
