It's cool to watch the early guys out at the U.S. Open on Saturday, like a couple lean young kids who made the cut on the number (plus-4) and had the Grey Goatee Research geeks scrambling (in a manner of speaking). Watch and appreciate. Wilco Nienaber averaged 350-plus off the tee in the first … [Read more...]
Matsuyama gets it done
Xander Schauffele made a distressing triple at 16 after a run of birdies and a Matsuyma bogey had him knocking. Boris closed with a birdie, good enough for solo second. So syllables aside, and Hideki Matsuyama has a cluster, he's the Masters champion. It's history enough that Matsuyama is the … [Read more...]
Sunday with Boris at the Masters
If he's not Boris, he oughta be. Some people call him Will, but what parents named Zalatoris would call their kid Will? That's just weird. Matsu-rhymes- with-Katsu is pretty dominant, but the kid Boris playing his first Masters is the story. Nobody else is pushing Hideki Matsuyama, and he won't … [Read more...]
Georgia, oh Georgia
Headlines you will never read: CBS joins Georgia boycott, cancels Masters affiliation Prominent tour players join Georgia boycott, skip Masters Georgia legislature votes to feed the hungry and clothe the naked Gov. Kemp signs 'Matthew 25:36 Act' into law, says, 'Of course I support my … [Read more...]

News of the day
We never knew the label, size or ring gauge of the product (allegedly) enjoyed by Big Bubba Clinton in infamous ways back in the pre-impeachment White House of the ‘90s, nor did we know the club selection on that night in 2009 when a then-spouse (allegedly) took a swing at Tiger Woods’ cheatin’ head … [Read more...]
Unforced edition
In the court of public opinion, Patrick Reed is like a case thrown out by a judge who never sees the evidence because there isn't any. He's like not wearing a mask in a pandemic because it diminishes his freedom, never mind that it might save lives -- an error, unforced and unnecessary, and … [Read more...]
Never in April
AUGUSTA – It’s the best light in the imaginable universe, right now, near twilight, this sharp-shadowed clear-eyed November in Georgia. I’m not seeing it in person, nor are you, and even knowing what we know about all they do to be television-ready for the most famous golf tournament in the … [Read more...]
Slothism
I vowed when I went to bed Tuesday and it looked bleak for our side that I would cut off all my friends who gloated when the jerk won and I would disengage from all politics and work hard for good in my community and be kinder to all living things and healthier in mind and body and, of course, drink … [Read more...]
Finales
Today, members of the sporting press will aim their popguns at the thousand new bunkers (it would seem) and resist distraction from grand new sightlines at the remodeled Sand Point Country Club in Seattle. The re-do was undertaken by David McLay Kidd, whose portfolio of golf architecture (Bandon … [Read more...]
