PGA Tour caddie posts funny photo regarding rooming with his boss — and the replies were even better

Webb Simpson is a past U.S. Open champ who earned $3.2 million last season on the PGA Tour, which means his caddie, Paul Tesori, pulled in a pretty penny himself. But that's not keeping the two co-workers and friends from sharing a room on the road at the Sony Open. Hey, hotels in Hawaii are expensive.
Tesori posted this funny photo of the duo's digs for the week:

Good luck this week, guys. We hope neither of you snores.

Winning 8 times in a year? Optimism high at start of year

HONOLULU (AP) Hawaii brings out the highest level of optimism because it hosts the opening events of the new year, even if the season started three months ago.

Sergio Garcia won at Kapalua in 2002 and talked about winning the money list on both sides of the Atlantic, a bold plan that went awry when he finished 12th on the PGA Tour money list. Justin Thomas, Tiger Woods and David Duval are the only Kapalua champions who won multiple times on the PGA Tour the rest of the year.

So the idea that someone could have an eight-win season – done three times by Tiger Woods, once by Vijay Singh in the last 40 years – doesn’t seem as unlikely now as it might be at the end of the year.

Article continues below …

”I definitely think I can,” said Dustin Johnson, who has won eight times in the last 30 months and will never say he can’t do anything. ”There’s a lot of really good players out here on tour, and for me to do that, I’m going to have to play some really good golf. But I’m definitely ..

Dustin Johnson’s legendary drive, Rickie Fowler’s Hawaiian shirt, and the makings of an unofficial PGA Tour WAGs swimsuit calendar

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we had our own Dustin Johnson moment last week. Just not one of which to be proud. While venturing to the basement for some toilet paper, I slipped and fell down the stairs. But unlike DJ last year, I made it into work the next day. Of course, also unlike DJ, I wasn’t in Hawaii this past week making millions while hitting awe-inspiring golf shots. Folks, beware of this man dominating the golf world in 2018:

Puppy Bowl players are now on…Tinder?

We're about three weeks away from the biggest girlfriend sporting event of the year—Puppy Bowl XIV—and as the big game approaches, star players from both Team Ruff and Team Fluff have taken to an unlikely platform to blow off some steam: Tinder. But don't worry, this isn't as creepy as it seems. The dogs aren't there to date (first of all, they're dogs, and second of all, gross). They're there to find a forever home.
Part of a partnership with the ASPCA, the Puppy Bowl has always been more than something to distract you while scarfing down all the guac before your bandwagon Pats-fan friends arrive. Predicated on adoption, each dog who takes the field on Super Bowl Puppy Bowl Sunday is placed in a new home following the game, and this year, Animal Planet and the ASPCA have invented a whole new way to scout your draft pick. Here's a look at some of the good doggos you'll find on Tinder starting January 22nd:

Augusta National to hold green jackets during lawsuit

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) A federal judge says Augusta National Golf Club will hold three green jackets and other Masters memorabilia while a lawsuit over an online auction plays out.

The Augusta Chronicle reports that U.S. District Court Chief Judge J. Randal Hall on Friday granted the club’s request to hold the items. A lawsuit filed by Augusta National Inc., which owns the club and tournament, asks a judge to stop Florida-based Green Jacket Auctions Inc. from selling the famed green jackets in an online auction.

The club contends the items are either stolen or fakes prohibited by the club’s trademark. An attorney for Green Jacket Auction says the company acquired the items from third-party owners.

Europe not underestimating Asia ahead of EurAsia Cup

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Thomas Bjorn dismissed any suggestions that his Europe-led contingent will steamroll to another landslide victory over Team Asia at the EurAsia Cup which begins on Friday at the Glenmarie Golf & Country Club in Kuala Lumpur.

Europe strolled to an 18 +-5 + victory over their Asian counterparts in 2016, but Bjorn is aware of his opponents’ prowess this time as he prepares to captain the Westerners.

”We’re very well aware that Asia has never fielded a stronger team than they do this time, and golf is a strange game,” Bjorn said.

”Whatever it says on the paper very rarely comes on top. So, those 12 players in that room are very well aware that they have to go out and play golf this week. This is not going to come to them easy, and they are up for it.”

The Dane, who will also captain Europe at the Ryder Cup in France later this year, will have a stellar cast at his disposal.

Spider-Man—AKA Tom Holland—actually has a damn good swing

If you can't keep up with the Spider-Man movie saga at this point, we don't blame you. First there was the Tobey Maguire trilogy, then a pair of Andrew Garfield reboots no one asked for, and finally a 2015 deal which saw the Sony-owned character merge into Marvel's Cinematic Universe (home of the Avengers & Foes) with little-known UK actor Tom Holland taking on the role of Peter Parker. This summer, Holland made his full-length debut as Spidey in Spider-Man: Homecoming—a John Hughes-ian coming-of-age comedy wedged into the skeleton of a pyrotechnic superhero flick that was way better than it had any right to be—and while he acquitted himself well on-screen, it's not his acting chops we're here to drool over. It's actually his swing.

According to Holland, the video—which he posted on Instagram on Sunday night—was shot during some downtime on the set of Homecoming and, to be honest, we're pretty impressed. Good balance, nice tem..
