FANTASY – Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the phenomenon of Fantasy Football. Led by the game’s biggest booster, ESPN Fantasy Sports Analyst Matthew Berry,  60 MINUTES SPORTS takes you into a world of elite Fantasy drafts, including those held by the Howard Stern Show’s staff and the St. Louis Cardinals, to show why this betting game based on the statistics generated by NFL players has become so big.  Alan Goldberg is the producer. 

PETE DYE – In golf circles, the name Pete Dye is synonymous with difficult. That’s why the PGA Tour is holding more and more of its great tournaments on Dye-designed courses. Steve Kroft tells his story and shoots a round with the legendary Dye, who still plays so well, he can score below his age.  Draggan Mihailovich is the producer.

FLY GAL – Fly fishing is gaining interest once again, for fresh and salt water game fish, and part of the reason is a woman from the Pacific Northwest named April Vokey.  The young fishing guide has earned a worldwide following for skills and success with a fly rod.  She's at the top of her sport but the journey there has not been easy.  Bill Whitaker reports.  Marc Lieberman is the producer.
