Making mistakes is an inherent part of golf: attempting to hit a hero shot instead of punching out, misreading putts, even white belts, for pity’s sake. However, the biggest danger facing modern golfers is Twitter.
Phil Mickelson wants to keep his PGA Tour membership – he made that clear in a carefully worded statement released Tuesday – but Dustin Johnson is grabbing his bag of cash and speeding away from Ponte Vedra Beach.
Na, 38, who is among 13 PGA Tour members listed in the field for next week’s inaugural LIV Golf Invitational event in London, announced on social media Saturday that he has quit the tour on which he has competed for 19 years.
Much has happened to the former US Open champ, good and bad, on and off the course, in the past decade. To put it lightly, this win was very long time coming.
It was a tense exchange, with both caddies listening intently as Johnson insisted that the putt was so short, it never crossed his mind that it wouldn’t be conceded.
