As a golfer trying to win on the PGA Tour, you've got to avoid cracking under pressure. You've also got to avoid your equipment cracking under pressure, and on Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Cam Young failed at least the second part of that equation. Following an errant drive on the 14th hole, trailing the leader Akshay Bhatia by one at the time, Young pulled a strange maneuver where he placed the head of his driver on the ground, leaned forward in a way that made it bend, and managed to crack the shaft. Watch:

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Akshay Bhatia finds himself atop a PGA Tour leaderboard for the second consecutive week. This time, that involved him finding his golf ball at the bottom of a drain. The young star found himself in a bizarre situation during Friday's second round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic when he hit a tee shot down the left side of the fairway of the par-5 17th hole at Detroit Golf Club—only to discover it had disappeared down a hole. Bhatia then called in a rules official.
