Phil Mickelson’s $9 million haul, Jordan Spieth’s competing wedding, and the legend of Ho-sung Choi grows
Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we’re tired of hearing people complain about THE MATCH. First, it was Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were playing for too much money. Then the money didn’t mean anything. And then it was taking away from the World Cup of Golf, which wasn’t even on at the same time! Also, last time I checked, you are allowed to watch multiple sporting events on the same day.
FacebookPinterestHarry HowSo pipe down, people. It wasn’t the prettiest golf or the best and most innovative broadcast (more on that later), but THE MATCH was still worth watching. Of course, I’m a bit biased with my obsession for anything Tiger does. I mean, I'd watch Tiger Woods go grocery shopping for $19.95 (come to think of it, does Tiger Woods do his own grocery shopping?). . . Anyway, we’ve got a healthy helping of leftovers from THE MATCH to serve up and more from an eventful Thanksgiving weekend. Let’s get cracking.

Phil Mickelson: Golf’s ultimate showman..
If you want to NEVER go hang gliding, definitely watch this video of a guy somehow avoiding death on his first ride
I, like many of you probably are, am terrified of heights. Are there actually people out there who aren't?! What a bunch of sickos. Watching “Man on Wire” is all the thrill I need, and I promise you I was 10 times as nervous as Phillippe Petit was, and I obviously already knew the outcome. Aside from checking that one off my documentary list last year, I want no part of watching anybody parkour on a roof or backflip on a cliff in the name of seeking a “thrill.”
Despite this fear, when I came across this viral video of a man's first hang gliding attempt gone horribly wrong, I had to watch. Normally I'd keep scrolling and return to whatever I was doing, but for some reason this drew me in, and it was an absolutely WILD ride. I bet it was for this guy too:

Sorry, just had to dry off my slippery hands from all the freaking sweat. What the HELL?! Sick way to kick off a vacation, by narrowly avoiding death on your first ever try at hang gliding. If my ha..
In case you wanted to know Ho-sung Choi’s blood type, the Japan Golf Tour’s website has you covered
If you were as fascinated as us with the re-emergence of Ho-sung Choi on Sunday, perhaps you wanted to learn more about the guy with the “fisherman swing” that had just won his second Japan Golf Tour event. He does have a Wikipedia page, but let's just say it's not as detailed as D.B. Cooper's legendary wiki page.
To find out more, you have to go straight to the source, the Japan Golf Tour's website, which is straight out of 1995 in every way shape and form. Finding a player profile isn't as smooth of a process as it is over on PGATour.com, but if you work a little, you will be rewarded. Choi's is not packed with information, but the info you find is stuff you didn't know you needed.

An anatomy of Jordan Spieth’s bachelor party/curling outing/wait what?
If you had money on Jordan Spieth and the SB2K besties going curling for his bachelor party as opposed to, I don't know, building an actual working airplane out of empty Natty Light cans, congratulations. You just a made a lot of it. Inspired by America's brief love affair with curling last winter, on Black Friday Spieth and the boys grabbed their brooms n' stones and hit the ice for a little celebratory ice bocce and probably had a really great time. We say probably, because the outing resulted in exactly zero social media goodies from the generally social media goodie-prone crew except for one lone photo, which appeared on Facebook as if out of a mirage on Friday:
Desperate for all the juicy details on Spieth's raucous bachelor bash, we decided to give this snapshot the ol' Anatomy Of treatment to see what we could decipher. As you'll see, our investigation dug up a lot…about a little.
