Brooks Koepka’s quarantine haircut is just as bad (if not worse) than yours
Being stuck inside due to the pandemic isn't as bad as many make it out to be (people have been through much worse), but if there is one major drawback it's the inability to go out and get a haircut. Apparently, salons and barbershops are not essential businesses, meaning they only way to cut your hair is to do the unthinkable: try doing it yourself.

Once you attempt this DIY experiment, you quickly come to realize that hairstylists are not only worth whatever price they're charging, they've probably worth more. Brooks Koepka found this out the hard way on Thursday, though he didn't try to do it by himself. He enlisted girlfriend Jena Sims, and luckily for us they both documented it on their Instagram accounts. Let's see how it went for Brooksy:

Tom Brady fires the first shot of “The Match” with dig at Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods
Well, that was quick. Less than 24 hours after The Match: Champions for Charity was officially announced, Tom Brady fired the first shot.
The six-time Super Bowl winner will team with Phil Mickelson against Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning sometime next month with all proceeds going to COVID-19 relief. And if the following is any indication, there will be plenty of shenanigans between the star-studded foursome leading up to the event.

That's some high-level dad trash-talking, especially if Tom did the photoshop job himself. And we'll assume the tiger jab refers to the Bengals? If so, Tiger and Peyton might want to respond with something about the Patriots getting caught filming the Cincinnati sideline last year. . . just a thought!
Anyway, very solid first effort. And Mickelson, never shy to stir things up, immediately added his support for his partner:

The only thing better than this kid making a hole-in-one is his mom’s reaction
The golf highlights are few are far between these days, but the European Tour stumbled upon a recent hole-in-one made by a junior golfer. And as good as the shot by young Asher Katz is, the reaction from his mom is even better.
At least, we assume it's his mom. It's hard to imagine anyone being that excited other than a mom. Heck, my mom used to scream every time I made a layup on our basketball hoop on the street. Moms, am I right? They're the best.

Anyway, here's the ace. Turn up the volume—but not too much. This is some high-level shrieking:

And rightly so. I don't care if the little dude already looks like a tour pro, an ace is an ace.
Although, it does appear like there are plenty of more great shots ahead for Asher. The 10-year-old Connecticut resident is an accomplished golfer, who won the Future Champions Golf Fall Championsh..
Did you know: The original four majors included two amateur tournaments
The coronavirus pandemic has hit a giant pause button on fans being able to watch golf on TV, and in some cases, even kept people off courses. But while we hunker down and hope for a speedy return to normalcy, we can also use this time as an opportunity to learn more about the game we love. Here’s our latest installment of “Did you know?”
The men's pro game today revolves around the four biggest events of the year: the Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the Open Championship. Fans treat the majors differently, the media treats them differently, and even players, despite claiming they're “just another week,” treat them differently. Why? Because they are. We judge careers based off these four tournaments, each of them featuring some of the best fields the sport has to offer. One victory in a major tournament can change a player's life.
