@ForePlayPod @BarstoolTrent @K_Kisner @RiggsBarstool @FrankieBorrelli @K_Kisner I need more on this mattress. Was it wrapped in plastic each time, or are we talking a loose mattress getting lugged around the country each week? Was it the same mattress he used at home, or a special travel mattress?

@willdefries Somehow Dorn’s voice went up a few octaves in my head.

With the U.S. Amateur at Merion this week, it’s worth revisiting Chris Patton, the winner of the 1989 U.S. Am at the same site.

Patton was described in a @usga article as having “the build of a lineman and the touch of a master jeweler.”

When he wasn’t riding a tractor on his family farm in South Carolina, he was hitting golf balls across it.

Patton was a self-taught player whose family didn’t have the funds for him to travel to the biggest amateur events.

He only had enough money to play one big tournament in 1989, so he entered the U.S. Am. It was the first USGA championship for the Clemson All-American.

The next year, Patton played alongside defending champion Nick Faldo at the Masters. It had to be quite the pairing, a study in stark contrasts. The debonaire Englishman atop the golf world and the kid from small-town South Carolina with a homemade swing. Patton made the cut and finished T39 to win low-amateur honors.

Patton went on to win once on the @KornFerryTour (in 1993) but never did earn a PGA TOUR card.

He was one of the more unlikely U.S. Amateur champions, but also one of its most memorable.

Willie Nelson was such a big fan of THE LORD OF THE RINGS movies, he actually sent in an audition tape to Peter Jackson to be considered for Gandalf when he found out Jackson was making THE HOBBIT - and it's hilarious

JUST IN: Boston bars are reportedly running out of beer as Scottish World Cup fans drink the city dry — with one bar saying “We tripled St. Patrick’s Day.”

Gary Woodland (right) bombs one past Scheffler and Burns on 14 at Shinnecock. Pointed a rangefinder their way and just pulled out his phone to call them.
