RIP Peter Alliss. His commentary of the final hole of the 1999 Open with Van de Velde was a masterclass in how to broadcast a major moment

Amazing shot by Morikawa. Sensational start since to his professional career after a stellar amateur career. It's too early to call him the next big star of golf, but few players are putting in the unrelenting excellence week after week. Well deserved win #PGAChamp

Making par 4s look like par 3s.

@Collin_Morikawa is so smooth.

Congrats Daniel Berger. Speaking to Golf Digest in 2018 he said: "My dad said very minute I wasn't practicing, there was a kid in China or South America who was. I took that to heart. I wore out clubs and grips. I'd hit balls until I literally was limp and couldn't swing anymore"

The largest 36-hole deficit overcome to win the Masters in the last 50 years is 6 shots, done on 5 occasions. That would leave just 7 players: Reed, Leishman, Stenson, McIlroy, Spieth, DJ, JT. I'm hesitant to limit the number of contenders to just that list.
