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

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

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...]
Young guns
The Champions Tour got a goose of energy in this Covidially challenged season when Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson grew into their old-man pants. Els rolled in a 40-footer on 18 to win the SAS Championship in North Carolina this past Sunday for his second victory in 10 Champions starts in 2020, … [Read more...]
