He was tied at the top with nine holes remaining in Michigan. He ended tied for third, four shots behind Steven Alker. Three back-nine bogeys at Warwick Hills were the culprit for the 50-year-old Block, who shot 74 to Alker’s 68. He was disappointed that he didn’t win but the consolation prize is that his performance earned him a spot in the next Champions Tour event, the Sanford International in two weeks in Sioux Falls, S.D. “I felt quick, I felt fast, I felt out of rhythm,” the Southern California club pro said. “I will do what I can to try to get better.”

it’s to clear up a ruling or explain something in greater detail. On Sunday at the Tour Championship, it was to look at video of Viktor Hovland in a bunker on the 13th hole at East Lake. In this case, Dusbabek seemed definitive on the scenario saying, “we’ve looked at this video and it does not appear to us that he has touched the sand so it would not be a penalty in this case.”

Listen to the clip below of the silence, followed by CBS Sports analyst Trevor Immelman with a, “oooh, that looks pretty close right there.” See for yourself.

who just played the final LPGA event of her career and made the cut at the FM Championship in Boston, received hugs, congratulatory texts, warm wishes, and a couple nice bottles of champagne. Both of those gifts had special meaning for the 39-year-old Swede. “I got a really, really nice bottle of, I think it was champagne, but I'm not sure. I don't drink a ton. That was from Lydia Ko the other day,” Nordqvist said. “It was a vintage of 2009 and that was my rookie year. When I got greeted off the 18th hole, I just received another of the same brand, and that was 2017, and obviously a very important year in my life because that was when I won my first major in Europe. I've had a lot of messages and a lot of support this week, so I'm very grateful.”

Nordqvist closes her career with nine LPGA titles and three majors. She will captain Europe in the Solheim Cup Sept. 11-13 at Bernardus Golf Club in the Netherlands.

The par-3 ninth hole has been shortened for Sunday's final round of the Tour Championship, but it's still no cupcake—and this was absolute perfection from the 46-year-old. Using a 6-iron from 208 yards, Rose jarred his tee shot on the fly to get back to even par on the day:

It's Rose's fourth career PGA Tour hole-in-one. And while it may cost him some money at the bar later, it's pretty good timing considering the $40 million purse up for grabs this week.

The World No. 1 started the day at East Lake three behind Victory Hovland and two behind Ryan Gerard. After scrambling to make par on the first hole, Scheffler did this on the par-3, 211-yard second hole. Yes, he damn near made it, the ball coming to rest two inches from the cup. That quickly moved him to two off the pace. Game on.

It’s a USGA championship that does get the publicity that other many of its others do, but the field is an impressive mix of players who have real-life jobs while trying to sneak in some golf and yet continue to excel at both. The USGA put together this fun video introducing several of the players and it shows just want a talented bunch makes up the 132 players competing this week.

It was on a Sunday in early August that the Southern California club pro walked off the course in the middle of the final round of the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in Scotland. Controversy ensued because it was reported that Block left the course without notifying officials—a bad look, of course—but Block later insisted to Golf Digest that he was injured and told the official who drove him in from the course. That was Block’s second mistake of the day after he was docked two strokes for being late to his tee time, because his WD was not reported to the scoring office and he was official DQ’d.

All of that to say that Block, 50, is perfectly healthy now and threatening to capture his first senior title in his fifth PGA Tour Champions start. Playing in the Ally Challenge on a sponsor exemption, Block shot 66-65 in the first two rounds and headed into Sunday at Warwick Hills in Michigan with a two-shot lead. A $330,000 win would be huge for Block’s senior career, and he’d also share the experience with his son, Ethan, who is carrying his bag. “Ethan is the level-headed human out of my family," Block said. “It's a Godsend that he's on my bag because I'm the least level-headed human being in the world.”

Folks, we don't mean to shock you out of your senses before the weekend, but a player on the PGA Tour just sprayed the hell out of his tee shot, it ended up in a pizza tent and—I hope you're sitting down—it was not Jordan Spieth. The player was Jacob Bridgeman, it happened on the 18th hole, and you can tell it wasn't Spieth because instead of playing the ball from under the counter and making a miracle par, Bridgeman took the drop and made bogey. He finished at 5 under, and sits at T-14 after 36 holes in Atlanta. You can watch the result in the tweet below, but first, I am contractually obligated to say the following: Now that's what I call a slice!
