U.S. Women's Open at Riviera was one of the best tournaments I've watched in years. Course immaculate. Nelly birdieing 16-17-18 on Saturday. Charley Hull's charge on Sunday. Nelly's incredible short game display all week. The putt that somehow dropped on 18. What a week.

I’ve poked fun at Jim Nantz/CBS golf crew for over-dramatic montages commentary on The Masters/general golf scene over years. But was struck with emotion enduring this tribute to a gent few in general public knew, 31-year-old Bryce Adair. Beautifully done. Deep condolences.

GOLDEN TEMPO WINS THE BELMONT STAKES IN ADDITION TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

The heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight against tyranny must never be forgotten.

Generations have enjoyed freedom thanks to those in uniform and all who helped.

On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, and always, we continue to remember and honor their legacies. 🇺🇸

Please help me honor Chief Special Warfare Operator Adam Lee Brown, DEVGRU.

Adam was a Hot Springs, Arkansas kid whose entire life was a story of getting back up, and continuing to fight.

Adam was a daredevil who broke his own bones jumping off roofs and bridges. A football player and wrestler with an oversized heart and an undersized frame. A young man who later spiraled into addiction and ended up in jail before turning his life over to his faith and his future wife, Kelley.

He enlisted in the Navy in 1998 with one goal: to become a Navy SEAL. He earned his Trident, served at SEAL Team Two from August 2002 to June 2006, and survived two events that would have ended almost any other operator’s career. He lost his right eye in a training accident, then taught himself to shoot left handed. Years later, in a freak convoy accident in Afghanistan, his dominant right hand was mangled and stripped of fingers. Instead of attending to his own injury, Adam tended to other casualties and stayed in the fight.

He became the only SEAL of his year to attempt and pass sniper school with one eye, and he shot near perfect scores doing it. He was then selected for Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU/SEAL Team 6), the first man to ever earn his place inside that unit while operating with one functional eye.

On March 17, 2010, while attached to an Omega Team conducting a raid on a Taliban commander in Komar Province, Afghanistan, Adam’s element came under heavy fire from a barricaded enemy position and surrounding high ground. Pinned down and watching his teammates take fire, Adam charged the enemy from a more advantageous position to draw the fire onto himself, allowing his team to maneuver and assault. He was mortally wounded but kept firing until he could no longer fight. He was 36 years old.

He left behind his wife Kelley and two children. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with Valor, and the Purple Heart.

His story is told in the New York Times bestseller “Fearless,” by Eric Blehm. In a letter Adam wrote to his children before that final mission, not meant to be read unless the worst happened, he said: “I’m not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this Earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.” Some warriors are remembered for what they overcame.

Adam Brown is remembered for the fact that he never stopped overcoming.

@BuzzPatterson Roll call at a soldier memorial service is really emotional

[Ryan Patnode @RyanPatnode]

@BuzzPatterson Massive. Taps is not pleasant

@JohnPetersonFW Do it now. @ForePlayPod

[John Peterson @JohnPetersonFW]

Idea I had today-

The PGA tour gives out a sponsors exemption monthly to a high ranking amateur or YouTube golfer.

Because he’s an amateur, he can’t accept prize money but instead donates his entire “check” that week to the charity of the weekly tournament (most all events have a benefit). We’ve seen some big checks hypothetically won by amateurs recently.

The amateur gains a following while the whole golf community pulls for him, the YouTube golfer gains valuable exposure and good will, and the fan and pga tour can’t lose because it’s another storyline and the money goes to a deserving place.

Is there a negative I’m missing? #growthegame

An emotional victory for 45-year-old Brandt Snedeker.

It's his first win since his mother passed away.

His caddie was there to embrace him right after he won ❤️‍🩹
