📣 In homage to (no) Masters week, I recreated the 4 most eye-popping moments in Masters history. Big takeaway for me was that none of these shots are as hard as they looked. Here’s Bubba from 2012. (Volume ⬆️) Check back tomorrow for Phil’s derring-do from 2010. #playingthrough

Copy editor #1 [sleeves rolled up, half-smoked cigarette pinched between lips] : "Alright, boys, who's got a synonym for 'wins'? And preferably something other than 'secures,' 'delivers,' 'attains,' 'claims,' 'prevails,' 'triumphs' or—" . Copy editor #2: "Jimmy, I've got it!"

psst. turns out a marshal was *not* responsible for picking up Grillo's ball in the playoff. Here's what went down, according to the Tour

now on the tee… 🏐

Happy 4th (green)

I spoke to Roger Maltbie about his clash with Harrington. RM said he couldn't help in PH's ball search bc he needed to be situated to call the action. "I can't do it from inside the thick of the trees." . Harrington wasn't buying it. Details here 👇.

RT @Josh_Berhow: I tagged along with J.J. Spaun (basically until they told me I had to leave) following his U.S. Open victory. Here's what….

RT @jamescolgan26: I spent the weekend asking around about golf’s newest power broker, incoming PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp. After interview….

Burns' 78 was the highest final rd from a 54-hole USO leader since DJ's 82 at Pebble in 2010, and it comes in the wake of his 4th-rd 80 at the Troon last year. Still, he said, he was proud of how he fought. My Sunday evening dispatch from soggy Oakmont

not sure this divot ever came down

Not the 72nd-hole walk Sam Burns had in mind

curling match just broke out on 18th fairway

Fun fact: TV mics out here are cloaked in artificial turf. Sound guy told me the turf not only disguises the mics but also protects them from rain. Smart!

Best money game at Oakmont this evening? Adam Schenk and his caddie lobbing balls at a pin on the range. 💰$100 makes. 💰$50 for pin strikes. 💰$20 for rolling a ball that hits another ball on the green . (Schenk, btw, is +9 in the *other* tournament, tied for 45th.)

Vik out here talking the ear off his coach, Grant Waite. Trying to sort his driver after a couple of loose swings late in 3rd rd

man, this is a wild thing to verbalize

The Rory Enigma Tour continues at Oakmont. A few words on his Thursday

Insane bottleneck crossing I-76 here at Oakmont! Twenty minutes to traverse 100 yards. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the slog compressed into about 20 sec

rory hit these two shots at the 4th a *combined* 96 feet

oakmont’s range might be in better condition than the course 💯
