Davis Love III, the mayor of St. Simons Island, Ga.? He might as well be.

“This South Georgia island enclave as yet has no official mayor, although there is a move afoot to go all municipal. Unofficially, the moss-draped isle and its tonier twin, Sea Island, has someone who acts as an unofficial ambassador and protector of the place,” Steve Hummer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes in this examination of the city’s favorite son and what Hummer calls “his excellent year.”

“He’s so well thought of as a person by everyone and so well respected for what he’s done in the game, it’s cool to see good things come to a guy like that,” Matt Kuchar said.

The busiest player on the LPGA has to be Alison Lee, who plays a full-time schedule while attending UCLA full time.

“Exams for the fall quarter come up in early December. Before play started at Tiburon [in the CME Group Tour Championship], in fact, Lee had written a rough draft of a three-page paper for Communications 133 and emailed it to a friend in Westwood, California, who printed it out and turned it in for Lee,” Bill Fields writes in this profile of Lee at ESPNW.
