This German woman who made a 60-footer for $25,000(!) might be the world’s best putter
Apparently, it's Putting Contest SZN, folks. Less than three weeks after a New Jersey man made a 50-footer for a $10,000, a woman from Germany topped him for an even bigger prize.
One putt. Sixty feet. Twenty-five thousand dollars. BANG.

The incredible putt happened on Thursday at The 19th Hole, the nightly party that accompanies the World Amateur Handicap Championship, a 72-hole net stroke-play tournament in Myrtle Beach that ended Friday. Silvia Rosenberger stepped up for her lone attempt and basically buried one from Berlin. Check it out:

Wow. That thing had a nasty snap on it at the end, too. Impressive. Maybe too impressive. . . Should the tournament launch an investigation into her handicap?!
We kid, we kid. Maybe. . . But anyway, congrats to Silvia on the 50Gs. And the Hale Irwin high-five victory lap was a great touch.

Eddie Pepperell can’t stop, won’t stop roasting Bryson DeChambeau for slow play
There were plenty of vocal critics of Bryson DeChambeau's slow play after a video of the Mad Scientist taking more than two minutes to hit a 10-foot putt at Liberty National went viral. But perhaps no critic was as harsh as Eddie Pepperell, who went as far as calling DeChambeau a “single minded twit” in a reply to the video that was posted to Twitter. In case you forgot …

Understandably, DeChambeau took offense, and after a heated exchange with a fan off the 18th green at the Northern Trust, he went off to the media, telling his social media critics, “Let’s have some more balls to come and speak to my face about that.” He wasn't speaking to Pepperell directly, but it was obvious DeChambeau read all the comments, including the Englishman's.
If you thought that was going to stop Pepperell from continuing to roast DeChambeau every chance he gets, you thought wrong. On Friday, during his second round of the Omega ..
Behold the most awkward, cringeworthy high five in high-five history, brought to you by the Mets
The Mets had a nice run, so nice, in fact, that we've taken it easy on them of late. We had no other choice, because what was happening was magical. But just as soon as the Amazin's thrust themselves into the playoff race, they've fallen back out of it at a similar speed. Six straight losses have now put them five games back of the second wild card spot. It's not over, but it's pretty much over.

Thursday night's loss was the one that hurt the most, as Mets ace Jacob deGrom took the mound and was expected to stop the bleeding (as he always is). He did his best, going seven innings and striking out seven Cubs batters, but he was killed by a pair of long balls from one of the more unlikely candidates: Victor Caratini. The backup catcher started at first base on Thursday night at Citi Field, and smacked his eighth and ninth homers of the year off one of the best pitchers in baseball. The first, a solo shot, ..
