Jim “Bones” Mackay reported that Tiger Woods only eats snacks during his rounds at the WGC-Mexico Championship while walking downhill. Why? Because of the elevation, he’s breathing too hard to be able to eat while walking uphill.

When Phil Mickelson plays at Pebble Beach, he marks his golf ball with a silver dollar that belonged to his grandfather, one of the original caddies at the Links when it opened back in 1919. At every other tournament, Mickelson uses a replica of the coin.

Good for Rickie Fowler! After a ruling (Rule 9.3) on the Par-4 11th hole that resulted in a triple-bogey, Fowler holds off Branden Grace to win the Phoenix Open that’s eluded him two out of the previous three years.

The police should issue an APB for Xander Schauffele because the dude just stole the Sentry Tournament of Champions from Gary Woodland!
