Golf’s resident impressionist does his best Tiger Woods in new Bridgestone commercial
Even if you don't know him by name, you definitely remember Conor Sketches—AKA Conor Moore—who took Golf Twitter™ by storm last year with his incredible tour pro impressions ahead of both the Masters and Open Championship. We've seen Conor's deadpan DJ and prickly Poulter, but so far he's played his Tiger card close to his chest. Once you cross the Big Cat, you don't come back, after all. On Thursday, however, we finally got a look at the Magnum to Conor's Blue Steel, and needless to say, it was worth the wait.

FacebookPinterestPretty good stuff all round from Conor, even if he doesn't have the real estate to really stretch out and make the character his own. He nails the signature Tiger collar adjustment that we all do whether we realize it or not, as well as iconic nose-tug-and-sniff maneuver. His delivery is also solid, drilling down on Tiger's trademark “really” pronunciation while ..
U.S. Amateur runner-up Devon Bling finds ingenious way to replicate the speedy greens he’ll soon see at Augusta National
There are 28 days and counting until the first round of the Masters. For the amateurs competing in the year’s first men’s major, that means it’s time to start getting their games in gear so that they’re ready for the challenging conditions they’ll face at Augusta National the first full week in April.
Viktor Hovland, the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, has been trying to do just that by playing in a handful of PGA Tour events. After teeing it up at the Mayakoba Golf Classic last November, the 20-year-old Oklahoma State sophomore by way of Norway played in the Farmers Insurance Open in late January, where he missed the cut, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, where he made the cut and finished tied for 40th.
Then there’s Devon Bling, the man Hovland defeated in the final last August at Pebble Beach. The 19-year-old sophomore at UCLA hasn’t been out on the pro circuit, instead playing exclusively for the Bruins since the spring college season began in late January. Bling has ma..
Plane turns around after woman forgets baby at airport in real-life ‘Home Alone’ reenactment
SOPA ImagesOn the Waterfront, Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Home Alone. In the pantheon of classic cinema that drive at heart of the American condition, Chris Columbus's John Hughes-penned Christmas classic about a middle-class, middle-west suburban white kid forgotten by his stretched-too-thin parents is certainly at or near the top. But while Home Alone is both a certified essential and a valuable reminder for children everywhere that their parents will one day leave them waiting after soccer practice for hours in the dark (literally and metaphorically), it is somewhat less amusing when it plays out in real life, as it did this weekend when Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight SV832 was forced to make an emergency U-turn shortly after take off because a passenger onboard realized they had forgot their baby at the gate. We warn you, this footage might be disturbing for some viewers.
According to Gulf News, the Kuala Lumpur-bound flight, radioed air traffic controllers shortly after ..
