PGA Tour winner tells great story about elevator encounter with a golf fan who had no idea who he was

Patrick SmithJERSEY CITY, N.J. — Adam Long pulled off one of the more shocking and memorable wins of the 2018-'19 PGA Tour season in February at the Desert Classic. After rounds of 63, 71 and 63, Long found himself in the final group with fellow leaders Adam Hadwin and a guy you might have heard of: Phil Mickelson. With a majority of the crowd cheering for Phil, and a Canadian contingent of fans pulling for Hadwin, Long himself probably didn't think he could pull off the upset that Sunday in La Quinta, Calif.

Not only did he win, he did it with a stunning birdie putt on the final hole, letting out a huge, well-earned fist pump for his first tour victory. For at least the immediate week after, Long was the talk of the golf world. The 31-year-old journeyman tour pro who had missed three of his first four cuts to start his rookie season had stared down Lefty and buried him on the 72nd hole of a P..

Now, if you're a regular reader of The Loop, you know that the only person who dislikes “Field of Dreams” more than us is Nick Offerman, but we have to say, watching Aaron Judge smack homers into a corn field on a balmy summer evening in America's Breadbasket has some serious must-see TV potential.

The Baltimore Orioles should be relegated from the MLB based off this absurd Yankees stat

Icon SportswireOn Wednesday night at Camden Yards, the New York Yankees continued their utter domination of the Baltimore Orioles, winning 14-2 and extending their record to 13-2 against the O's on the season. Dating to April 4, they've won 12 straight against Baltimore, a team that has dropped seven of its last 10 and owns the second-worst record in the league behind only the Detroit Tigers, who are on a historically bad pace. It's gotten so ugly in Baltimore that the team's former star player is attempting to throw fists with the manager in the dugout:

As if the Orioles weren't broken already, the Yanks might have officially broken them in this three-game series, one in which each game was taken over by Yankee fans inside Camden Yards.
