You can't make this up. CBS Philly just broke into Canadian Open coverage with an update on the bridge collapse (which is understandable!) and moved the golf coverage to ... The CW
While he was waiting for this playoff to begin, and after perhaps one of the most difficult moments of his career, Emiliano Grillo invited a couple of young fans to hit balls with HIS clubs on the first tee at Colonial.
Nothing but class
A man walked into to Memphis golf shop Friday with two putters.
“I need to get this putter cut down to the same length as this one.”
When the sales rep told him they were too close for anyone to notice, he replied with three words.
"Well, Rory does."
I've never seen a pro (much less a rookie without any wins) have a passive-aggressive argument with another pro about who is away on the PGA Tour.
But Alejandro Tosti just did that to Tony Finau.
From Happy Valley to the High Desert.
Happy to announce I'll be joining the NewsChannel 21 team at
@KTVZ
in Bend, Oregon as an MMJ.
Thank you to everyone who helped prepare me for the first step in my professional career. Excited to get started in July.
Matt Fitzpatrick on Spieth’s putt on the first playoff hole:
"I think in the playoff, I felt every putt he hit was going to go in. But I'll be honest, I just feel like that all the time ... Everyone calls it, they play 'Spee-eat.'"
Solo third could be life-changing for Alex Fitzpatrick. He'd get special temporary status for the rest of the year* on the PGA Tour with a shot at earning a card for 2024. He's T4 now.
*Including the fall
Tiger Woods has made the cut at the
#GenesisInvitational
.
Only four golfers remain playing the second round currently OUTSIDE the projected cut of +1.
Even if all four somehow got to E, +1 would move to T65 and still be good enough to make the cut
They say dress for the job you want, so this shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Kind of a surreal moment because tomorrow I start as an assistant editor at Golf Magazine/

While it wasn’t the ending I hoped for, I’m extremely thankful for everything I’ve done and everyone I’ve met in my four years.
Rory on getting back to No. 1:
"I've worked so hard over the last 12 months to get myself back to this place. I feel like I'm enjoying the game as much as I ever have. I absolutely love the game of golf"
As an avid son in many father-son tournaments through the years, the PNC holds a special place in my heart. Watching Will and Charlie this week is what makes the tournament so great. Not for their play, but for everything else
Ask Brady Calkins how he felt after making it to his first U.S. Open.
The 27-year-old said he'd been trying to make the open since he turned pro at 19.
How awesome is it for Tom Kim, the future of the International team, and Adam Scott, the vet of the International team, to be the leaders of this rally?
Incredible stat from

"There's going to be some guys going to the courthouse to change their names."
I don't believe what I just saw. Cantlay tries to punch-out, fails. Takes an unplayable and then tries a hero shot when the win is off the table! Hits a bush in front of him and then finds the water
SURPRISE
For the past few months I’ve been training with
@BobKTVZ
weather anchoring and tonight will be my first forecast. I’ll be taking over weekend weather on

from here on out as well.
Tune in tonight at 6, 10 and 11 PST
There it is, 33. Sungjae makes birdie on 15 for his 33rd of the week, setting a new all-time PGA Tour 72-hole birdie record.
He's 24 under, still two back.
With his 32nd birdie of the week, Sungjae Im has just tied the record for most birdies in a 72-hole event in PGA Tour history.
He's at 23 under, two back, with four holes to play.
U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson's captain's picks are Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth and... Justin Thomas.
Keith Pelley on Golf Channel: "We play in many countries where you could question some of the things that happen... This is not about human rights for us. Our membership has played in all kinds of countries and we don't mix sports and politics."
You hear the "These guys are good" thing all the time, but this is incredible.
All 29 players hit the green on the second hole today. 10 of them made birdie. None made bogey
Today was my final day at
@KTVZ
. Will cherish the memories and friendships I made here. Very excited to share the next step for my career, but the best part I can say now is that it will bring me back to Philadelphia! Stay tuned!
