You can't make this up. CBS Philly just broke into Canadian Open coverage with an update on the bridge collapse (which is understandable!) and moved the golf coverage to ... The CW

The PGA Tour is returning to Philly!
Came back earlier this week from my now-seemingly annual pilgrimage to Dornoch and Scotland and I’m continually blown away by amazing (and affordable) the golf is over there.
Here’s a 🧵 of the trip:
While he was waiting for this playoff to begin, and after perhaps one of the most difficult moments of his career, Emiliano Grillo invited a couple of young fans to hit balls with HIS clubs on the first tee at Colonial.
Nothing but class
A man walked into to Memphis golf shop Friday with two putters.
“I need to get this putter cut down to the same length as this one.”
When the sales rep told him they were too close for anyone to notice, he replied with three words.
"Well, Rory does."
I've never seen a pro (much less a rookie without any wins) have a passive-aggressive argument with another pro about who is away on the PGA Tour.
But Alejandro Tosti just did that to Tony Finau.
From Happy Valley to the High Desert.
Happy to announce I'll be joining the NewsChannel 21 team at
@KTVZ
in Bend, Oregon as an MMJ.
Thank you to everyone who helped prepare me for the first step in my professional career. Excited to get started in July.
PGA updated Round 2 tee times to start at 8:35 a.m., a delay of 1 hr and 20 mins.
Scottie Scheffler's time is now 10:08. No word if he even has a remote chance of making that
Matt Fitzpatrick on Spieth’s putt on the first playoff hole:
"I think in the playoff, I felt every putt he hit was going to go in. But I'll be honest, I just feel like that all the time ... Everyone calls it, they play 'Spee-eat.'"
Solo third could be life-changing for Alex Fitzpatrick. He'd get special temporary status for the rest of the year* on the PGA Tour with a shot at earning a card for 2024. He's T4 now.
*Including the fall
Thanks for making it through this. Morale of the story is most of these course can be played for less than 100 GBP. Trips to the highlands are just as epic as playing the open rota courses and way worth the journey.
Tiger Woods has made the cut at the

.
Only four golfers remain playing the second round currently OUTSIDE the projected cut of +1.
Even if all four somehow got to E, +1 would move to T65 and still be good enough to make the cut

While it wasn’t the ending I hoped for, I’m extremely thankful for everything I’ve done and everyone I’ve met in my four years.
They say dress for the job you want, so this shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Kind of a surreal moment because tomorrow I start as an assistant editor at Golf Magazine/

Rory on getting back to No. 1:
"I've worked so hard over the last 12 months to get myself back to this place. I feel like I'm enjoying the game as much as I ever have. I absolutely love the game of golf"
Ask Brady Calkins how he felt after making it to his first U.S. Open.
The 27-year-old said he'd been trying to make the open since he turned pro at 19.
As an avid son in many father-son tournaments through the years, the PNC holds a special place in my heart. Watching Will and Charlie this week is what makes the tournament so great. Not for their play, but for everything else
How awesome is it for Tom Kim, the future of the International team, and Adam Scott, the vet of the International team, to be the leaders of this rally?
Incredible stat from

"There's going to be some guys going to the courthouse to change their names."
I don't believe what I just saw. Cantlay tries to punch-out, fails. Takes an unplayable and then tries a hero shot when the win is off the table! Hits a bush in front of him and then finds the water
There it is, 33. Sungjae makes birdie on 15 for his 33rd of the week, setting a new all-time PGA Tour 72-hole birdie record.
He's 24 under, still two back.
With his 32nd birdie of the week, Sungjae Im has just tied the record for most birdies in a 72-hole event in PGA Tour history.
He's at 23 under, two back, with four holes to play.
SURPRISE
For the past few months I’ve been training with

U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson's captain's picks are Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth and... Justin Thomas.
You hear the "These guys are good" thing all the time, but this is incredible.
All 29 players hit the green on the second hole today. 10 of them made birdie. None made bogey
Keith Pelley on Golf Channel: "We play in many countries where you could question some of the things that happen... This is not about human rights for us. Our membership has played in all kinds of countries and we don't mix sports and politics."
