"Round two. Deja vu.” - @keenbean1295 as he narrated D3 golfer Niel Phillips making TWO holes-in-one at the Chick-Fil-A Invitational in Rome, Georgia on Monday.
Yes, Niel began his round in the morning with a hole-in-one on the par-3 eighth hole and then proceeded to begin his afternoon round on the same hole, only to ace it again!!
Holy Hot Sauce indeed.
The lead story is fishing??
SCOTTIE CAN'T STOP WINNING
This week, the Texas Lone Stars Angling Club took down the 2025 Zane Grey Championship in a newly formed, 14-team saltwater fishing league.
Golf is played on grass, tho, right??
Yes.
And this is a story about something happening in water?
Yes.
Oh I see, they must've also played in some pro-am tournament or something before?
No! Be patient, I'm getting to the point.
The golf connection here is actually the owner of said Angling Club. Scottie. Scheffler.
Yes, the man got so used to winning at golf that he decided to start simultaneously winning in completely different sports.
And what's crazier is that this saltwater fishing league was apparently pitched around as the "cool" thing to buy into for current and former athletes because he's not the only high profile owner.
According to GOLF.com, other angling club owners include NFLers Randy Moss and Raheem Mostert as well as LIV players Talor Gooch and Harold Varner.
But Scottie isn't done there as he ALSO owns the Texas Ranchers, one of the leading clubs in Major League Pickleball.
This dude...
Absolute iconic professor performance from ASU
A TALE OF TWO EMAILS
The super viral golf story this week was a local one from our own backyard at Bad Birdie.
Arizona State golfer Boston Bracken sent the email above to his professor to let him know about the team's upcoming travel schedule—beginning with a tournament in Utah.
Seemed harmless enough and classic athlete communication. "Hey, there. It's me, athlete. FYI I will be missing a @#^& ton of class. I will do my best. No promises. See you whenever. k thx byeeeeee!"
And then, they shared the response.
Iconic.
Welcome to the World (Team), Lydia
LYDIA FEELING LIKE A TELETUBBY
In South Korea this week, the LPGA hosts the International Crown tournament featuring a unique format of 8 four-person teams from around the world playing a World Cup style event.
The original tournament was back in 2014 but the catch for those who wanted to compete was that each team would require four players from the same country in the LPGA. Which meant that Lydia Ko (from New Zealand) or Brooke Henderson (from Canada) never could fill a full team.
Until now...
The inaugural World Team consists of the top-ranked player from each of the following four regions, not from a country already qualified: Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa/Oceania.
The result? An absolutely stacked roster; Charley Hull (England), Brooke Henderson (Canada), Wei-Ling Tsu (Tawian) and Lydia Ko (New Zealand).
The color for said team? PURPLE! Leading to Lydia going on record claiming she looked like a Teletubby versus her normal Adam Scott-like neutral palette.
The format includes the first three days of four-ball competition with the top two countries from each Pool advancing to Sunday. From there, two semifinal matches are played Sunday morning consisting of two singles matches and one foursomes match. And the winners conclude with a match on Sunday afternoon (2 singles and 1 foursome).
I do love team golf and the field is historically quite even so should make for some solid match play over the weekend.
