Masters 2019: Tiger Woods almost has ankle taken out by slipping security guard, makes ridiculous birdie
After holing the only birdie of the day at the par-4 11th on Friday at the Masters, Tiger Woods followed with a perfect tee shot at No. 12, setting up another good look at birdie. That's when the horn sounded and play was stopped due to lightning in the area, robbing Woods of a ton of momentum and sucking the energy from the property. When he returned, Woods missed the short birdie putt, then made par at the par-5 13th, which is playing as the easiest hole on the course this week.

Things took a turn for the worse at the 14th, where Woods snipe-hooked a tee shot so far left that bogey looked imminent. When he arrived at his ball, he saw there was a lane to the green, and struck a heroic punch shot that had he and all the patrons surrounding him running to see where it ended up. The ensuing chaos caused a security guard to attempt to block the patrons from getting near Woods, and the security guard slipp..
Masters 2019: The routine Jason Day goes through to get his back ready to play golf is officially insane

After getting treatment for his bad back on the course—he aggravated the L4-L5 discs that were injured about a month ago when he bent over to kiss his daughter before teeing off—Day somehow scraped his way around Augusta National Golf Club, posting a two-under 70 on Thursday. Yet after the round, his agent left the chances of him playing Friday as only 60-40.
The 60 won, and then Day shot a 67 to grab a share of the 36-hole lead at seven-under 137. Pretty impressive stuff, huh?
What makes the whole thing exponentially more impressive is what Day had to do in the morning to get himself into shape to pla..

Magic golf ball defies gravity, has entire internet debating whether or not it’s a hoax
The going theory in some corners of the irrationally paranoid internet is that we are not living in the reality that we think we are, but instead an elaborate simulation of said reality. There's all sorts of “evidence” used to “corroborate” this “hypothesis”—which just so happens to be exactly the plot of a certain Keanu Reeves sci-fi thriller)—but none compelling than this video of a seemingly magic range ball that went more viral than Bryson DeChambeau analyzing pin composite density on Friday afternoon. Buckle those eyeballs up, folks. This is gonna be a bumpy ride.
Uploaded by Reddit user Bryce Stanley, the video showcases both a nightmare-inducing range fail and a glitch in the gravity engine of Sims 2049, where we all live, work, and play on daily a basis. The first reaction is awe and then second is, of course, disbelief. The ball seems just a bit too static at the point of non-impact. Surely there would have to be some sort of movement if this now very-viral clip were anyt..
