I have always been partial to the U.S. Open. I believe it to be the greatest golf tournament on the planet. I love when the USGA sets up gruelingly long courses with sinewy, Usain Bolt fast greens. You’ll never hear me complain about a guy winning the tournament with...

It was a day later, in an empty golf cart barn where I cried. I’ll never forget that. After two days of being glued to the television watching images of towers falling in a city I’d never visited and hearing stories of loss about people I’d never met, I sat down in a...

For most people who aren’t able to watch golf during the week due to work, it probably feels like the Barclays is over before it even begins. It’s 4 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon and I can already read the recount of how Dustin Johnson outdueled Matt Kuchar to win the...
