Recently, I had a nightmare round. It was a tournament of minimal significance, but enough to have me embarrassed by how poorly it was going. Even in the throes of it, I started formulating an explanation in my head about how everything could unravel so quickly. This is when I realized a lot of it Read more…
LOS ANGELES — The focus will on Nelly Korda on Sunday afternoon in the final round of the 81st U.S. Women’s Open. It should be. She is the No. 1 player in the world. An American trying to win her national championship for the first time. And she can become the first U.S. woman since Read more…

One of the most unique architectural features at Riviera C.C. is the bunker that sits in the middle of the green on the par-3 sixth hole.

DUBLIN, Ohio — All credit to Ryan Gerard for a standout effort Friday in the second round of the Memorial Tournament, carding a three-under 69 in increasingly breezy conditions at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Welcome back to The Feed, where summer is here and even writing about silly YouTube videos on a Friday feels like carrying the Earth on your shoulders (shoutout, Atlas).
