if you listened closely, the reigning US Open champ Matt Fitzpatrick seems to be holding onto a little bitterness toward his previous two European Ryder Cup captains.
If you follow the local press, there’s a sense of genuine anticipation for the LIV Golf League’s debut in Australia this week at The Grange Golf Club in Adelaide.
Right after making the cut at Augusta National earlier this month, Tiger Woods cut his Masters weekend short. Now it appears the rest of his major championship season will suffer the same fate.
We’ve all had a chance to shoot a personal best and fumbled the bag on the 18th hole, usually in the form of an in-the-pocket “double” as so not to inflate the handicap.
The last sporting event on earth you’d expect there to be heckling at, outside of the Masters (which literally doesn’t allow it), is the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town, which just so happens to fall directly after Augusta National on the schedule.
Jordan Spieth had his typical flair for the dramatic late Sunday at the RBC Heritage, but ultimately it was Matt Fitzpatrick who prevailed on the third playoff hole after hitting a 9-iron to a foot for a kick-in birdie on the par-4 18th hole at Harbour Town Golf Links.
Not for the ace he made at the par-3 seventh at Harbour Town Golf Links on Friday at the RBC Heritage, although that was nice. But for the masterclass in self-trolling he delivered on social media after jarring a 6-iron from 191 yards in the second round.
If it wasn’t clear that Jon Rahm takes his job seriously after a bogey-free seven-under-par 64 at the RBC Heritage, then the rather awkward exchange he had with a reporter in his post-round interview took care of that.
Playing golf with buddies while Masters coverage blares out of a speaker sounds like a great day for the average golfer. But not necessarily for Rickie Fowler, a former Masters runner-up.
