If you weren’t a Walker Jenkins fan before, you are now. No hesitation. He sees the kid is in trouble, picks him up and runs to the dugout. What a superstar. What a human. We need so many more of these people.
As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring.
Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have.
And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped.
Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

Harman: "Oh, yeah, lots of fond memories of Hoylake."
reporter: "The Butcher of Hoylake."
Harman: "Yeah, yeah, you guys coined that nickname and thought it was going to make me upset, and after the tournament we threw a 'Brian the Butcher' themed party that everyone -- I'll get you a Koozie."
reporter: "So you were pleased we did it?"
Harman: "Yes, I am. Yeah, very pleased."
