2024 Dow Championship final results: Prize money payout, LPGA Tour leaderboard and how much each golfer won

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.

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.

A pairing eight months in the making led to a victory in the Dow Championship, the LPGA's two-person team event, for Ruoning Yin and Atthaya Thitikul. It was during a Callaway shoot last November that Yin asked Thitikul to play alongside her in the Midland, Mich., event. They delivered with a closing four-ball 62 for a one-stroke victory over Solheim veterans Ally Ewing and Jennifer Kupcho. Here's how Thitikul and Yin won.

Tony Hawk’s 900 isn’t a trick for the faint of heart. It features a full two-and-a-half rotation, and if you don’t have enough speed going into it and your spin is too slow, landing it is nearly impossible, especially given the fact that you’re blind to your landing zone not once, but twice during the trick. Spinning that much requires equal parts courage and skill.
