After a torrid run of huge tournaments with the Memorial, the US Open, then the Travelers, it may have felt like a bit of a letdown heading to Detroit Golf Club for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic this week on the PGA Tour. The field didn't help that feeling with no player in the Top 20 of the OWGR teeing it up. But coming into Sunday's finish, the drama was quite high.

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.

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.

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.

You know that big bucket of balls you just hit? Not only was it probably a waste of $13 bucks if you're trying to lower your scores, but all that punishment on your elbows can quickly turn into tendinitis. Whether it's tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) on the outer part of the joint or golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis) on the inner part, that sharp, hot pain is not going to go away without some rest followed by some very specific exercises to prevent its return.

To this day, this remains the single best thing you can do for elbow tendinitis

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.
