white-knuckler

It erupted from a snoozer to a white-knuckler to an all-out epic.

Byron pulled out a white-knuckler of a victory at revamped Atlanta Motor Speedway by holding off a train of challengers Sunday in conditions similar to the late-race hysterics typically found at Daytona or Talladega.

These white-knuckler games should be customary by now.

A wild back-nine ride worthy of a Six Flags white-knuckler ended with Scott McCarron winning the Shaw Charity Classic on Sunday without making a par over his final five holes.

After Sunday’s rest day the players reconvened for Game 3, a white-knuckler of a contest that saw Karjakin recover from a misstep on his 30th move before defending brilliantly as Carlsen tried to press his advantage and draw first blood.
