Judd Jirovsky will finish his senior year like he did his freshman year — as state champion. He will also have one runner-up finish on his resume from last year. #iahsgolf
"There's no one else I'd rather lose to."
Waukee Northwest's Logan Vogt held off older sister Avery Vogt in the 400 at tonight's state qualifying track meet. They clearly enjoy competing with, and against, one another. Both will run the 400 at state.

Life is like a guitar. @ericchurch offers a brillianct commencement address (and guitar lesson) at his alma mater, UNC, that belongs in the pantheon of addresses of this sort with those of Steve Jobs (Stanford) and David Foster Wallace (Kenyon College).
I am so excited for Judd.
From a town of 2,700 people. One nine hole golf course.
Never played the big junior events. No AJGA.
But the kid has incredible talent and work ethic.
And he’s on to Stanford.
The golfer we made this putter for competed at State this week in Iowa.
He got the putter a few days ago. He switched to it for the second round (borderline psycho move).
He had 7 birdies and 24 putts. Rolled the rock. He was jazzed up.
Stories like this fire us up.
He finished 2nd. Kid is a unicorn - shot 63-68 his freshman year to win State by a million.

The greatest sports commercial ever made.
Rory grew up idolizing Tiger. Both fairly and unfairly, he has been compared to him.
Over the last decade, the weight of underachievement has only grown.
To have 4 majors so young and then no more is simply stunning.
Today he can finally join a club that only Tiger has joined in the last 50 years. The Grand Slam club. With Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tiger Woods.
The smallest of clubs.
With a win today, Rory can rightly take seat at the table next to Tiger. His career becomes one of the greatest of all time.
Today Rory can complete a journey started long ago. And we all get to bear witness.
Go Rory.
