dbg on Golf

Phil Mickelson (65) didn’t lose the Open Championship at Royal Troon. Henrik Stenson (63) just went out and won it! One of the best final rounds I’ve ever seen.

Jordan Spieth is the latest golfer to withdraw from next month’s Olympic games in Brazil due to concerns about the Zika virus. I don’t blame him. I would do the same thing! No medal is worth getting sick for.

It’s a second straight major thud for the USGA, this time the U.S. Women’s Open, which essentially ended on a delayed two-stroke penalty assessed to Anna Nordqvist after she grounded her club in a bunker.

In a collapse nobody saw coming, Jason Day didn’t hit a green in regulation over his final six holes and lost the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational to Dustin Johnson.

Congratulations to Billy Hurley III on his 1st PGA Tour win! The Naval Academy grad made a 27-footer for birdie on the Par 5 16th hole to seal the victory at the Quicken Loans National ten months after losing his father to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
