A caddie, not the Coronavirus may have been the biggest threat to fans at TPC Sawgrass on Wednesday. As part of the Players Caddie Challenge in honor of Bruce Edwards, loopers lined up for a chance to tame the famed par 3. And one wound up hitting one of the most wayward shots ever struck on Pete Dye's signature hole.

Introducing Jeff Johnson, who caddies for Retief Goosen and can now claim to be one of the few people to miss the island green, but not lose his golf ball. That's because Johnson yanked his attempt so far left that it wound up on dry land, hitting a cart path and bouncing up into a grandstand.
Fortunately, an alert fan caught the ball and Johnson wound up signing it for him. All good fun! You know, now that no one got hurt. Anyway, check out the video:

Andruw Jones hit 434 home runs during his Major League Baseball career and made even more highlight-reel plays as a 10-time Gold Glove winning centerfielder, but I'll always remember him for how he handled routine plays. Jones would glide under a fly ball and then put as little effort as possible into catching it, often not even bothering to lift his glove up. In other words, he was one of the cockiest players I've ever seen. And now it appears his son is a chip off the old block.

Introducing Druw Jones, Andruw's 16-year-old son, who has already committed to play college baseball at Vanderbilt. Pretty impressive. Then again, Andruw hit two home runs in a World Series game when he was 19, so no pressure following in those (nimble) footsteps, Druw!
But like his pops, Druw also has plenty of pop, which was on display on Tuesday. And he's got some flair, as evidenced by this epic bat flip after hitting..

Sam GreenwoodPONTE VEDRA BEACH — Over the last seven months, only a handful of players have had a more impressive run of form than England's Tyrrell Hatton. In his last eight worldwide starts, he's finished T-18 or better seven times, including a pair of wins at the Turkish Airlines Open and last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, his first PGA Tour victory.

The most shocking part is that in the middle of this stretch, Hatton missed two and a half months following wrist surgery. At the 2017 Masters, the Englishman slipped on pine straw during the par 3 tournament, which was later canceled due to storms. For the better part of two years, he managed to play through the pain with the help of multiple steroid injections. But this past November, he and his team decided it was time to fix the issue.
Judging by his recent results (Hatton tied for sixth at the WGC-Mexico before..

NBC/Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee didn't hold back when discussing a potential PGA Tour rival.

Eric McCandlessThe Declaration of Independence, Babe Ruth's Cooperstown bust, that mini Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. That's it. That's the list of national treasures more sacred than Alex Trebrek, who, if you want to get bogged down in technicalities, is actually Canadian. Those pieces of iconography (not to mention the mountain with the presidents' faces on it and your plastic souvenir beer cup from Augusta National) must be protected at all costs, and thankfully the good folks at Sony Pictures Television are doing exactly that for Sir Alex Trebek, becoming the first major domestic sports league to ban live audiences. A source close to Jeopardy! told the Washington Post on Monday…

Sam GreenwoodPONTE VEDRA BEACH — If you've been lucky (or unlucky) enough to play a golf course designed by Pete Dye, you know it's an unsettling experience. The late, legendary architect knew how to make golfers uncomfortable, including the best players in the world. Just ask Rory McIlroy, who missed the cut in his first three appearances in the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Dye's most famous design.
Finally, in his fourth start in 2013, McIlroy made the cut and finished in a tie for eighth. But it was a few years earlier that the Northern Irishman believes he came around on Dye's devilish ways.

“So 2010 Whistling Straits was when I turned a corner. I turned up there, it was the PGA Championship, and I hated it,” said McIlroy when asked if Dye's courses were an acquired taste. “Like I really did not like it. I had to tell myself, look, you just need to like it for..
