The Norwegian who has quietly become a force on the PGA Tour (four top-10s and a win this year) is feeling truly at home this week at Wentworth in England. He shot 64 in the third round on Saturday and is tied for sixth, only two shots off the lead.

“This is my home tour, and it's nice to come back, and also play well enough on the PGA Tour that I can actually afford to come back here and finish off the season where you want to finish it off,“ Reitan said.

With the event just outside of London and Reitan finishing earlier in the day, he was considering making the one-hour drive to Brighton to catch his football club of choice, Arsenal, play. “I got my manager to look for Arsenal tickets, maybe, maybe not,” he said.

Well, the golfer had a far better day than the reigning title-holder Gunners, who were routed by Brighton 3-0 in their first loss of the season. Taking a nap would have been a better play.

That matters because the 2025 U.S. Open champion is definitely feeling slighted by not being picked for captain Brandt Snedeker’s American squad that will play in the Presidents Cup next week. Spaun said on Friday in England, “It’s disappointing to be left off. I wasn’t really expecting it, to be honest.”

Spaun essentially lost his spot to one of two Cup rookies in Jackson Koivun and Jacob Bridgeman, but he certainly had a case: He went 2-1-0 in the U.S. loss in last year’s Ryder Cup and his four top-10s this season included a win in the Valero Texas Open. But Snedeker looked elsewhere, and Spaun could produce the ultimate “told you so” with a win in one of Europe’s premier events.

An amazing year for Fitzpatrick got even better on Friday when he produced an incredible highlight during the second round of the BMW PGA Championship. Needing birdie on the final hole to make the cut at Wentworth, the 27-year-old Englishman holed a chip shot to thrill his home country fans. Have a look:

Talk about clutch. And making it even more impressive is the fact that Fitzpatrick also birdied 16 and 17 just to give himself a chance of playing the weekend. Just another DP Tour feather in the cap for the presumptive PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. 

Ordinary golfers would give anything to have the ability of their professional counterparts. "If only I could hit a high draw like that, I could die happy," we've all thought while glued to the TV on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

The thing that makes golf so compelling, however, is that no matter skilled/rich/famous you get, perfection always lies just out of reach. Don't believe us? Just ask four-time DP World Tour winner Robert MacIntyre, who had some choice words for himself after missing the fairway on the par-4 1st at Wentworth on Friday. Sound up.

Of course, MacIntyre is better than 99 percent of golfers on earth, and a short while later he proved it, holing out from the fairway for eagle on No. 15 and backing that up with another superbird on No. 17. Still, it goes to show that there is no such as perfection or satisfaction in this game. All any of us can do—including our self-deprecating friend Mr. MacIntyre—is to keep on keeping on.

Then again, Bob Toski is no ordinary golf professional. The Massachusetts native was the eighth of nine surviving children whose mother died when he was just 5. To help the father pay the bills, Bob worked as a shop boy at Northampton C.C. with his brothers. After turning pro in 1947, he went broke twice on winter tours before becoming a full-time member in 1950. He was just 5 feet, 7 inches—Sam Snead nicknamed him “mouse”—but had the energy and personality to succeed on tour and eventually become one of the most respected golf instructors of all time. As today marks Toski’s 100th birthday, do yourself a favor and read this 2025 Golf Digest story from Jaime Diaz about the oldest living PGA Tour winner. If you don’t come away impressed by the man, then we question just how much you really love golf.
