Just a guess, but nothing could bring Keith Mitchell down on Monday morning after picking up his first PGA Tour title at the Honda Classic the previous evening. Moms, however, are a different story. And we're assuming Mrs. Mitchell, who was on hand for her son's breakthrough win on Sunday, wasn't thrilled with how it was treated by the local Palm Beach Post.

Ouch. It doesn't get much more disrespectful than that. Except, that it kind of did. Here's the opening to the story, written by Brian Biggane:
The PGA Tour and Honda Classic officials had the makings of several great finishes Sunday.
— A playoff between local residents Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler.
— Vijay Singh becoming the oldest winner in Tour history.
— Even Ryan Palmer posting a ..

Ordinarily the post-round brew is a peaceful tonic, even if you just posted triple digits. It's a time to relax, recap, and rejoice in the camaraderie of man and/or woman. Sometimes, however, the beer turns sour, as it did for these fine, upstanding gentleman who turned a relaxing 19th-hole hangout into WWE Raw following allegations of the most serious clubhouse nature. Honestly we don't have much more context than what we've already provided, but it's two grown men beating the crap out of each other in a golf-y context, so we think you'll forgive us.

It probably goes without saying, but the fella in the gray trunks and flips flops defeats Mr. Boat Shoes by TKO, beginning his Heavyweight Asshat belt defense with a vicious head butt before putting his opponent through a window (expect a bill). He then quickly ends the bout by raining blows upon the very mug that moments ago was calling him a thief and..

The calendar has turned to March, a month that boasts golf's fifth major. And we're not referring to the Players Championship.

In Keith Mitchell, another example of how golf sets itself apart from other sports

For a man whose last two decades have pretty much been one long weekend, this one was still better than most for the artist still known as Kid Rock. Fresh off a team victory at the Celebrity Cup two weeks ago, the former presumptive Senator's golf game has been riding high, culminating on Sunday with a magical milestone in any golfer's life: His first-ever hole-in-one. But because he's Kid Rock and not Jhon Doe at Joe Schmo CC, he just so happened to hit said hole-in-one while playing with one Jack Nicklaus. Maybe you've heard of him.

Rock—who Jack refers to as Bob Ritchie, as opposed to his given birth name—carded his inaugural ace on the 175-yard par 3 second at The Bear's Club. The celebratory video, narrated by Gary Nicklaus, also delivered some fascinating anecdotes, including the fact Kid Rock is..

From Keith Mitchel's stone-cold performance to the USGA and Justin Thomas trading jabs, here's what you missed in golf this weekend.

Sam GreenwoodOn Saturday at the Honda Classic, Keith Mitchell, who would eventually go on to grab his first career victory with a birdie at the 72nd hole, played in the final group alongside Sungjae Im. That coupled with the fact that Rickie Fowler and Vijay Singh—arguably the two biggest names at the top of the leader board along with Brooks Koepka—had finished their rounds earlier in the day earned Mitchell a lot of screen time on NBC, as his third-round 70 kept him in the mix heading into Sunday.

Because of that, many golf fans who may have not even heard of Mitchell before were also introduced to his caddie Pete Persolja, whose appearance alone instantly grabs your attention. But there was another reason fans on social media were intrigued by his presence, and it was because he was using a compass as he and Mitchell navigated “The Bear Trap.” Here's a Twitter photo (with Persolja's head missing) of him ho..
