PGA Championship 2018: Dustin Johnson has a very Dustin Johnson answer for not wearing shorts at Bellerive

Stuart Franklin(Photo by Stuart Franklin/Getty Images)ST. LOUIS—Dustin Johnson is not one for exposition. Which is perfectly fine, because his brevity never ceases to deliver.
For the second straight year, the PGA of America allowed the PGA Championship field to don shorts during the tournament's practice rounds. Given temperatures were in the mid 90s on Monday (with a real feel in the 100s), most of the field took advantage of the relaxed dress code.
One notable that did not, however, was World No. 1 Dustin Johnson. Many chalked this up to the fact that DJ doesn't look like he's sweated a single day in his life. But, speaking to the media on Tuesday at Bellerive, Johnson had a slightly less complicated answer for rocking pants in the Missouri heat.
“Yeah, I definitely forgot to pack them,” Johnson said.
Oh. That would do it.
“I mean, today I was playing, I was going to play really early this morning so it wasn't going to be too hot so I just wore pants,” Johnson co..

Golf-themed New Jersey bar takes a lickin’, keeps on tickin’

Something tells us The Original Mulligan's Restaurant & Grill, located just off Squankum Road in beautiful Farmingdale, New Jersey, isn't the swankiest establishment on earth. It probably smells funky, has sticky floors, and serves the burgers well done just to be safe. But what ol' Mulligan's lacks in charm, it more than make up for with grit. Don't believe us? Well on Sunday, the popular local dive was hit by a freakin' car and it didn't miss a beat, staying open despite the Volkswagen wedged in its entrance.
Talk about grinding for par, amirite? The Squankum Fire Company (great band name, guys) responded to the scene of the accident a little after 3pm, finding the driver uninjured and the building as structurally sound as it was before the accident, which is to say good enough. Mulligan's reopened, minus one vestibule, in time for patrons to watch JT clinch at Firestone over some wings and Springsteen. God bless America and seat belts, amen.

Little League ump shows child who’s boss with absurd strike calls

Nobody likes a showy ump, but sometimes that big, Shakespearean punch-out really helps bring a game of baseball to life. Nothing, however, and we mean NOTHING, is worse than a showy ump who takes out the sometimes paralyzing lack of control he finds in his own life on helpless children in the middle of a Little League World Series game, perhaps the last pure celebration of youth we have on this forsaken rock in the sky, in case you were wondering. Unfortunately, that's exactly what this career ex-husband and substitute vice-principal did during a Southeast Regional qualifier between Alabama and Georgia on Monday night:

You could hard boil an egg in my blood right now. The pitch comes in and it's high and tight. Eight times out of 10 that's a walk but the groveling millennial brat deigns to take his base and that triggers Mr. Hard Ass. He then thinks about it for a full one M.I.S.S.I.S.S.I.P.P.I. before deciding to dis..
