ANDY BUCHANAN(Photo credit should read ANDY BUCHANAN/AFP/Getty Images)The PGA Tour pros, they're just like us! Okay, maybe not when it comes to driving distance, accuracy, approach prowess, short game, or just a general sense of how to get around a golf course. But when it comes to reverence to Tiger Woods, we're on the same plane.
At least that's the case with Shubhankar Sharma. The 22-year-old went from unknown entity (462nd in the world) into the top 100 earlier this season with wins at the Joburg Open and Maybank Championship, and made a spirited run at the WGC-Mexico Championship. Performances that signaled Sharma, who hails from India, as a fledgling star, earning a special invite to the Masters in the process.
Despite this newfound fame, Big Sharms has maintained his humility. That's the only interpretation for this tweet, where Sharma, in thanking the R&A for his Open experience at Carnoustie, admits he's yet to meet a certain 42-year-old, 14-time major..

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk says it was fun to watch Tiger Woods contend at the British Open and briefly take the lead in the final round. Whether that means Woods is a lock for the U.S. team is still to be determined.

One of those claret jug purists, left unquenched by the rest of the golf calendar? Well, if today feels like December 26, find the nearest couch, get yourself in a comfortable position, and inject this promo for the 2019 Open directly into your veins.
For next year's championship visits Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, the first time since 1951 the tournament leaves Great Britain. For those unacquainted, Portrush is a celestial convergence of land and sea, and boasts some of the best putting surfaces on the globe. Ranked as the seventh-best course in Golf Digest's World 100, Portrush…well, don't take our word for it. Peep the video below, which will have you on the first flight to Northern Ireland:

This sounds blasphemous, as we never, ever thought anyt..

SEC fans are a special breed, a fact we've provided endless evidence of on this here dadgum site. Whether it's a bride altering her LSU-loving husband groom's cake of his dreams, a Georgia fan acting as a human alarm clock in his neighborhood or a Mississippi State baseball fan duping a news channel, it's clear these people are just better at sports-fanning than the rest of us. Now, we can add this LSU bride to that list.
In a viral video tweeted by Louisiana news channel WAFB, a groom is seen cutting his Alabama Crimson Tide-themed cake, and talking some nice smack in the process. As he should be, because his Tide have not only won 20 national championships in the last 10 years (give or take), but they've also steamrolled LSU to the tune of seven straight wins, making a once proud rivalry embarrassingly lopsided in less than a decade. So, as an LSU fan, you've got to take your victories wherever and however you can get them. For this bride, that meant cre..

For all the game promises, it often delivers disappointment.

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (AP) Troy Merritt briefly wondered about trying another line of work as time passed following his initial PGA Tour victory more than three years ago.

Apparently you're not supposed to smile in your driver's license photo. Why? We have no idea. Probably because there's no reason to look happy when handing it to Officer Nutcrusher for doing 57 in a 50 on your way home from work on a Friday afternoon. For anyone who hasn't already found the DMV experience so debasing they may literally never smile again, however, one Cleveland location came up with a creative, if cold-blooded, solution. Check it out:

Look up “savage” in the dictionary. It's just a screengrab of this tweet. It's no secret that the Believeland faithful took LeBron's South Beach fling harder than his recent La La Landing, but this is still sadistic to an almost criminal degree.
Now we don't know who posted this and probably never will. Are they a long-distance Lakers fan? Have they adopted the Browns' laugh-to-keep-from-crying sense of humor? Do they just want to watch the wo..

On Sunday, we, we as in golf fans and media, thought the internet was burning to the ground over Tiger Woods taking the lead at the Open Championship. While that was cute, it was merely child's play in comparison to the metaphorical rioting in the streets that was occurring on Twitter over an occurrence at a different sporting event. That occurrence being a monster in a Cubs jersey STEALING a foul ball from a child at Wrigley Field. Have a watch and decide for yourself if this man deserves 25 to life:

Now, we can understand why people would immediately jump to conclusions if this was the only video and only thing you saw from this situation. And when the MLB's Cut4 Twitter account, which is one of the better accounts you'll see on Twitter, tweets it out with that description, chances are people will pile on without any other information available to them. This man is a villain, he is Satan on earth, he must be stopped a..
