Texas time

May 22, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

We wrote this about Billy Horschel back in September 2015: Yeah, Horschel. Got lost in the shuffle at the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs last year, and that’s after he won it. Won the $10 million. Won two straight tournaments at the end of the playoffs, and he was called a symptom of the worst … [Read more...]

Arnie’s week

March 15, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

The first Arnold Palmer Invitational since the man himself died last year will be a little light on glamor but heavy in youthful talent, which is about the way it is every week. The young talent goes deep on today's PGA Tour, and when you get down to No. 51 in the World Golf Rankings (for now) you … [Read more...]

D. Johnson, your Masters favorite

March 5, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

It begins to seem like Dustin Johnson should never lose a golf tournament. When he’s striking it and creating around the greens and making putts, there’s no one as good. He can beat himself, and nearly did over a shaky few holes near the end Sunday at Club de Golf Chapultepec. We know, … [Read more...]

Spasms edition

February 15, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Tiger Woods is in the field this week at the Genesis Open ... wait, let me double-check that. "Dude, he's not playing," and this time the bureau chief couldn't be bothered even to raise an eyebrow. It was some underling, an up-and-comer, clearly, who gave me the goods ... good thing I don't pay … [Read more...]

Winners only need apply

Here at Kapalua on Maui, you got your Spieths and your Days and your DJs, and you got your guys like Canadian Mackenzie Hughes, who won the RSM Classic in a playoff. You knew that, right? You got Aaron Baddeley, who's here  because he won on the PGA Tour last season for the first time since … [Read more...]

In other news: The FedEx

September 8, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

They're building up to playing for a $10 million first prize in the FedEx Cup playoffs, and all it takes is Tiger Woods saying he "plans" to play some tournaments this fall, after the FedEx, and he absolutely owns the news cycle. The golf world, they say, has moved on from Tiger. I might have … [Read more...]

Inbee Park for President

August 20, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Kellyanne Conway, the Trump adviser, looks like what we used to call a "sharp cookie." I don't have trouble imagining her squinting behind a long-ash butt hanging out the corner of her mouth. Smart, not overly ideological, willing to sell sneaky-shitty politics and not on the cheap. There are … [Read more...]

Hot news, hot golf news, read it while it’s hot

July 31, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

What we learned in a weekend's worth of golf including two majors and a Web.com non-major that had the world's hottest player going low: Stephan Jaeger, a 27-year-old German, shot 58 Thursday in Hayward, Calif., and went on to blow out the field at the Ellie Mae Classic. His $106,000 paycheck jumped … [Read more...]

Lefty loosey-goosey on first day

July 15, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

6:45 p.m. Troon time; 10:45 a.m. GGMT Jason Day, plus-2. Jordan Spieth, level par. Dustin Johnson, level par. Rory McIlroy, minus-2. Phil Mickelson … not much in the conversation.  Until his bogey-free, course-record 63 Thursday at Royal Troon put his name on every tongue, and it could have been … [Read more...]

For crying out loud

April 6, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

 So easy for a guy of a certain age to get all snot-nosed and blubbery and he doesn't know why and he doesn't even have a cold or any known allergies, that he knows of. If there's any way to let me know if I'm about to run across a kid playing catch with his dad in the long shadows of late … [Read more...]
