World No. 3 Stacy Lewis went several extra miles this week for one of her biggest fans she met last fall.

LPGA player Kang wins two cars with an ace in consecutive tournaments
November 1, 2014 by
It’s been a good eight days for Danielle Kang. The 22-year-old LPGA player has not only made an ace in back-to-back tournaments, but she’s also won a car for each ace she’s made. The second ace came on Friday in the second round of the LPGA Taiwan Championship. Kang used a 7-iron from 158 yards […]
Kevin Sutherland becomes the first Champions Tour player to ever shoot 59
August 17, 2014 by
The Champions Tour is named “champions” for a reason. So many legends turn 50 and take their talents to a completely different tour, going up against huge names in golf that can still really, really golf their ball. But unlike the PGA Tour, nobody had ever broke 60 until Saturday on the Champions Tour. While […]
A mini tour player just made a hole-in-one in a playoff to qualify for his first PGA Tour event
May 14, 2014 by
Monday qualifying on the PGA Tour is normally reserved for the “what if” story. What if I had made just one birdie? What if I hadn’t choked on the final hole? What if I had finally got that break I need?! On Tuesday at the The Lakes at Castle Hills, it was anything but a […]

April 26, 2014 by
If there is one thing that golf gives us that no other sport can, it’s nature. The beautiful, undeniable, amazing outdoors that can, at times, scare us half to death. That is what would happen to most of us if we came up to an alligator as close as John Peterson did on Friday at […]

Sure, baseball and football and basketball and hockey retire numbers and jerseys, but there isn’t a yearning to actually see the old guys play against the young guys. At least not like there is in the game of golf. We love the […]

November 7, 2013 by
Sports writers toss around the cliche, “you don’t see this everyday” a lot, but in the case of Jason Kokrak at the McGladrey Classic Pro-Am, we’ve seen this on the PGA Tour only once … ever. Kokrak, a 28-year-old from Ontario, Canada, was playing in the pro-am at a PGA Tour stop on Wednesday when […]

The major season in golf might be over, and the interest in the sports world might be on the NFL and Johnny Manziel, but a veteran on the PGA Tour did something on Friday that should bring all the eyeballs back to golf. Jim Furyk posted the sixth round of 59 in the history of […]
