The news of unrest within Lucas Glover's family served as reminder that golfers are subject to the same challenges as everyone else.

Carol Mann, a two-time major champion who won 38 LPGA Tour titles, has died. She was 77.

The LPGA Tour issued a statement Monday that Mann had died Sunday at her home in The Woodlands, Texas. LPGA Tour officials said a family member notified them of Mann’s death.

Her major titles were the 1964 Women’s Western Open Invitational and the 1965 U.S. Women’s Open. She won 10 tournaments in 1968.

Mann also served as LPGA president from 1973-76. She was an analyst for men’s and women’s golf on ABC, ESPN and NBC.

Mann was inducted into the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame and the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1977.

LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan says Mann has been ”part of the fabric of the LPGA for more than 55 years, with a Hall of Fame career both on and off the golf course.”

Mann grew up in Baltimore and Chicago. She took up golf at 9, attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and joined the LPGA Tour in 1961.

If you thought Kyrie's flat-earth truthing or Jordan Clarkson's belief that dinosaurs were once pets to a race of giant humans were bad, just wait, because Miami guard, hair wizard, and NBA prospect Lonnie Walker IV just issued his “hold my beer” proclamation:
Flat, round, dinosaurs, giants, whatever. It doesn't matter, because the planet earth and the lives that occupy it are all an illusion.

Before we brand Lonnie Another Dumb Jock™, however, it's worth noting that some of the most celebrated minds currently inhabiting “earth” have echoed the same sentiment, sounding off on their suspicions that this may not be reality at all, but an indistinguishably accurate simulation of reality—like The Sims, only with better graphics. There's even a reddit thread dedicated to the theory, and that's how you know something is real.
But before we get sucked too far down this wormhole and wake up with Hugo W..

Florida Mid-Amateur Championship ends after golfer claims he was assaulted by opponent's caddie during weather delay

How much money every golfer earned while playing in this week's 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson at Trinity Forest in Dallas

DALLAS (AP) Aaron Wise cruised to his first PGA Tour victory Sunday, shattering the AT&T Byron Nelson record at 23 under on a new course in a race to finish before nightfall after a four-hour rain delay.

The 21-year-old rookie shot a 6-under 65 to beat Marc Leishman by three strokes as both became the first to finish the Nelson at 20 under or better in the first year at Trinity Forest. The treeless links-style layout was defenseless with softer fairways and greens and no wind once the morning storms passed.

The Nelson celebrated its 50th anniversary with a return to Dallas after 35 years at the TPC Four Seasons in suburban Irving. Rory Sabbatini set the previous record on that par-70 layout at 19-under 261 in 2009.

DALLAS (AP) Aaron Wise had to kick his mom out of his hotel room because she was too chatty during a four-hour rain delay before his best shot at a first PGA Tour victory.

The 21-year-old rookie’s caddie had to snap him back into the moment when Wise worried if he would get to finish the AT&T Byron Nelson as daylight faded with a comfortable lead over the final holes.

Wise didn’t have to wait an extra 12 hours to celebrate, and mom got a twilight hug after a tap-in and another wave to the thinned-out crowd on the 18th green at the new Trinity Forest course.

Pulling away at the turn after the long delay to start the final round Sunday, Wise shattered the tournament record at 23 under with a closing 6-under 65 to beat Marc Leishman by three strokes as both became the first to finish the Nelson at 20 under or better.

”I did a great job of staying focused on the present today,” said Wise, who won once each on the Web.com and Canadian tours. ”That was a big ..

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) Ariya Jutanugarn arrived at Kingsmill Championship with no expectations, and it was a strategy that paid off handsomely.

The 22-year-old Thai star birdied the second hole of a playoff Sunday to win the LPGA Tour event for the second time in three years.

”I’m going to say I didn’t expect anything this week because I think I have been playing … very good like the last few tournaments and I’m still not winning the tournaments,” she said. ”So show up this week, I just tell myself I’m not going to expect anything. I’m going to really focus on the things under my control and make sure I’m going to have good commitment every shot.”

”When I’m thinking about winning, I never win,” Jutanugarn said. She became the 12th winner in as many events on the tour this season.

Jutanugarn and Hataoka both birdied the first extra hole, with Chun droppi..
