🏌️ Ben Griffin won his second PGA Tour event of the year at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial and followed that with a 7-under 65 in the first round of the Memorial Tournament, a score not many people could fathom at Muirfield Village. Has Griffin found out how good he is?
🏌️ Turns out Xander Schauffele outed Scottie Scheffler for having his driver tested non-conforming at the PGA Championship. And seemingly not in a bad way. “It was more about, like, this guy just used his backup and absolutely rinsed the field again.” Sideswipe or salute?
🏌️ Speaking of driver testing on the PGA Tour: Test everybody or nobody?
🏌️ The par-3 eighth hole at Oakmont Country Club can be stretched to 300 yards for the U.S. Open. Good idea or goofy?
🏌️ And the par-3 ninth at Erin Hills is only 146 yards for the U.S. Women’s Open. Nelly Korda called the green “diabolical.” Which is the better test: long par-3s or short ones?
🏌️ Does Korda need to win this U.S. Women’s Open or does women’s golf need her to win it more?
🏌️ Barbara Nicklaus was the honoree at the Memorial Tournament in a heartwarming ceremony. Is there any doubt she is the first lady of golf?
🏌️ Angel Cabrera won the Senior PGA Championship for his second straight victory and second consecutive senior major. Has Cabrera found his freedom?
🏌️ If “zero torque” putters are so revolutionary, why aren’t the best putters among the professional players using them? Or is it just the worst ones?
