Brooks Koepka moves on from the Masters, a WAG’s messy victory chug, and a Tiger Woods license plate in need of an update

Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we admit, it was tough to get excited to watch golf the week after that Masters. So kudos to Jim Nantz, Nick Faldo and the rest of the CBS crew for carrying on with their jobs. And a big tip of the cap to those who contended at Augusta National and teed it up at Harbour Town. I don’t know how they found the motivation (Well, at least for 63 holes). Brooks Koepka, on the other hand, took a page out of Dustin Johnson’s book (Well, old book since DJ was collapsing on the back nine at Hilton Head) and moved on from a close call in a major by taking his lady to a tropical paradise:

Solid strategy. But there are no in-season off weeks at The Grind—except for a honeymoon to St. Lucia where the wife and I posed for slightly less risqué pics—so we’re ready to bare discuss it all. Let’s do it.

Pirates shortstop Cole Tucker steals everyone’s girlfriend with majestic head-first slide into second base

Unless you're a diehard Pittsburgh Pirates fan, or an ardent follower of all things minor league baseball, you've probably never heard of Cole Tucker. The 22-year-old shortstop was first called up to the big-league roster this past Saturday, and all he did was homer for his first career hit in just his third major league at-bat. The two-run shot eventually won the Buccos the game over the San Francisco Giants. Not a bad way to start a career, some would say.

If that wasn't enough to capture the hearts of Pirates fans, Tucker outdid himself on Monday night at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
