One's a more memorable moment, the other a more significant accomplishment.

St. Andrews has a pretty tempting job opening if you love golf and working outdoors, but you better apply quick

As sport turns to Scotland for the Open Championship, a look at the troubled times that have hit the home of golf.

We continue to be impressed by the swing of little Tommy Morrissey, who is now 7 years old. The talented young golfer was born without part of his right arm, so he swings the golf club—with amazing grace—with just his left arm. We've seen Morrissey hit the ceremonial first tee shot at a PGA Tour event, imitate the swings of Arnold Palmer, Rickie Fowler and others with incredible ease and hang out with his PGA Tour buddies on a semi-consistent basis.
So we weren't entirely surprised when we heard that Morrissey nearly recorded a hole-in-one on Pinehurst's par-3 course, The Cradle, over the weekend. Morrissey's smooth swing has been impressing for quite some time now. But to record an ace, would be, well, a special moment, for sure.
Here's video of the near ace, which ended up hitting the pin and ended up six inches from the pin, Pinehurst says:

We're told Morrissey would've recorded the 71st ace at The Cradle since it opened in..

Less than 12 hours after earning the second-biggest paycheck of his PGA Tour career, Harold Varner was out mowing his parents' lawn in North Carolina. Talk about a man of his word.

Varner, the 54-hole leader at the Greenbrier who was looking for his first PGA Tour win, shot a disappointing two-over-par 72 on Sunday to drop to T-5, but still earned $247,470. Before that final round, Varner had this to say:
“I hate to harp on it, but it's all about perspective,” said Varner, who wound up seven shots behind winner Kevin Na. “If I shoot 90 tomorrow, I'm gonna able to go home, and my mom is going to give me a kiss and be like, 'you're still a winner.' And I'm gonna be mad, but that's just how it is. And if I win, she's gonna humble me and be like, 'you're not better than me.' And I thoroughly enjoy that.
“I'm gonna mow my parents' grass on Monday . . …

Neilson BarnardA modern therapist would have a field day with Evel Knievel—a man willing to shatter his own bones by performing stunts he knew had a 100% chance of failure all to entertain a bunch of bloodthirsty strangers transfixed by your seemingly imminent death. Travis Pastrana—motocross phenom turned rally champion turned NASCAR driver turned walking, talking deathwish—has a little bit of that in him; a dangerous combination of showmanship, adrenaline addiction, and god-given skill that prompts him to do things like jump out of an airplane sans parachute and, as part of History Channel's Evel Live!, recreate three of Evel's most iconic (read: disastrous) leaps live on national TV basic cable.
The mission? Jump 52 cars, 16 buses, and the Caesars Palace Fountain in searing 110-degree Las Vegas heat on a 340-pound Indian Motorcycle while wearing a star-spangled cape and costume boots. Simple right? Well, Pastrana made it look like it on Sunday night, going three-for-three,..

Mark CunninghamYou may or may not have seen that Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano, former Yankee and formerly my favorite baseball player, issued a late apology to his team and the city of Seattle for the positive Furosemide test that resulted in an 80-game suspension. The apology was just OK—he “accepted responsibility,” but only insofar as saying that he should be accountable for everything that enters his body. Beyond that, he employed the same script used by almost every athlete who gets caught, which is that the drug was “was prescribed to him in the Dominican Republic for the treatment of a medical issue.”
Furosemide can be used to mask performance-enhancing drugs, so it's up to everyone to decide what they really believe. But it is worth noting that Yankees GM Brian Cashman and former first baseman Mark Teixeira both implied that Cano's suspension didn't surprise them–partly because of Cano's connection to Biogenesis.
So, in my book, he's probably g..

Sei Young Kim put on a display of ridiculous golf at the Thornberry Creek Classic to establish a new 72-hole scoring record.

ONEIDA, Wis. (AP) Sei Young Kim became the first player in LPGA Tour history to go lower than 30 under in a performance so dominant in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic that she now has the tour scoring records all to herself.

Kim closed with a 7-under 65 on Sunday for a nine-shot victory, finishing at 31-under 257 to break by four shots to par the record Kim had shared with Annika Sorenstam. Kim won the 2016 Founders Cup at 27 under, while Sorenstam won the 2001 Standard Register Ping at 27 under, the tournament Sorenstam shot 59.

Kim also set the 72-hole scoring record at 257, finishing with three straight pars to break the mark by one shot.

The only blemish for Kim all week at Thornberry Creek at Oneida was a double bogey in the second round Friday. She had 31 birdies and one eagle, another record for most sub-par holes in a tournament. Kim hit 67 out of 72 greens in regulation.

Kim tied another Sorenstam record when she was 24 under through 54 holes. The South Korea reached 28 ..

ONEIDA, Wis. (AP) Sei Young Kim watched her 12-foot birdie putt break toward the hole and disappear into the cup, putting her in territory no one had ever been on the LPGA Tour.

She reached 30-under par in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic.

And she wasn’t finished.

Kim added yet another birdie, closed with a 7-under 65 and wound up her historic week Sunday in Wisconsin at 31 under for a nine-shot victory.

”I never thought I’d shoot 31 under,” Kim said. ”I really feel incredible.”

She was every bit of that in a week so dominant that she now has two LPGA scoring records all to herself.

Kim’s 31 under broke the record she had shared with Annika Sorenstam. Kim won the 2016 Founders Cup at 27 under, while Sorenstam won the 2001 Standard Register Ping at 27 under, the tournament where the Swede shot 59.

”After the Founders Cup, I got new goals,” she said. ”I wish I could break up the (tour) record. It’s really unbelievable.”

Kim also set the 72-hole scoring record at 257, finishing w..
