Golf is taking over more of the sports conversation right now.
From Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler to players like Collin Morikawa and Cam Young, the sport keeps building momentum. Andrew Novak says the consistency of big events, growing interest since COVID, and even YouTube golf have all helped bring in a bigger audience.

"I don't know how my ball ended up where it did, but I had nothing."
@AndrewNovakgolf's ninth hole @RBC_Heritage was complicated after his tee shot ended up next to a tree near the green. With few options, he chose to use his putter and move it up the cart path so he could chip it onto the green from there.
"I played it the way that I thought gave me the best chance of making par and at least taking a big number out of there."
After making his bogey, he went on to shoot a 31 on the back nine to finish the day 12-under in a tie for sixth.
This week has special meaning for Novak, as he grew up in the area and has many family and friends along for the week.
"This feels like home to me. This is the kind of golf course that I feel like I've played many times growing up."
He'll begin the final round five shots back of leader Matt Fitzpatrick, trying to add a second PGA TOUR title to his trophy case.
