This Jordan Spieth-Michael Greller conversation, and the resulting shot, was peak Jordan Spieth-Michael Greller
The phrase "I just don't see it Jordan" should be on Michael Greller's tombstone some day. "Here lies Michael Greller, loving father, husband, legendary caddie, man who kept telling Jordan Spieth he just didn't see it." The thing is, even when Greller is probably right, Spieth often proves him and...

Two decades after Annika played Colonial, LPGA pros ponder taking on the men again
A few months ago, Lauren Stephenson quietly took a shot at a dream she has had since seeing Brittany Lincicome compete at the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship in 2018. The 24-year-old South Carolina native, still searching for her first LPGA win in four years on tour, wrote a letter to tournament director Steve Wilmot at the RBC Heritage requesting a sponsor’s exemption into the PGA Tour event she attended in her youth at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island.

Justin Thomas’ stunning triple bogey, Jordan Spieth’s impressive putting stat, and a crazy tale of two nines for a two-time PGA Tour winner
Justin Thomas’ attitude was commendable after winning the PGA Championship in dramatic—and draining—fashion. No one would have faulted the 29-year-old for taking a week off following his playoff win at Southern Hills. Instead, Thomas kept his commitment to play in the Charles Schwab Challenge, referencing the words of his alma mater’s football coach, Nick Saban, who doesn’t dwell on won titles for too long.

Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims spotted sitting courtside at Game 5 of Celtics-Heat on Wednesday
The only thing Brooks Koepka loves more than winning majors (and tormenting Bryson DeChambeau) is the NBA. We have seen him courtside at NBA games countless times following his rise to golf prominence. He and wife Jena Sims were in attendance at one of the rowdiest evenings in Staples Center history. He was once dwarfed by Giannis and even virtually appeared inside the bubble. Kopeka’s latest appearance might be his greatest, however, because, well, just look at that shirt.

Scottie Scheffler's uncharacteristic missed cut a week ago in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills, among his favorite courses, was just that—an uncharacteristic missed cut. No need to go back to the proverbial drawing board. No need to dig it out of the dirt (though that mantra seemed to work for Will Zalatoris after missing the cut at the Byron Nelson before getting into a playoff at the PGA).
