Rory McIlroy's former Ryder Cup teammate offers unsurprising verdict: "I'm not having a moan"

For Hatton, one putt would have won, two would have forced a playoff and anything worse handed Rahm his long-awaited first LIV win.

In bizarre sequence, pro follows terrible break with ace

During a recent round, I realized something quite frustrating: my ball-striking is pretty terrible right now. Sure, about 60 percent of the time I can strike it pretty well, giving me a nice, high draw that lands softly near the putting surface. But if that’s not happening, I’m usually mishitting my shots off the toe or topping them, which is partly due to a bad setup and swing sequence, where my weight and club path are out of whack.

This easy impact drill will help you groove solid shots

Your approach shot landed just shy of the green. The lie is good, but you definitely have some cabbage to navigate between you and the apron. Sure, you can putt this one, but your putter may not have enough loft to get the ball moving smoothly across the long grass. And you’ll probably end up making a “jabby” stroke because of it, removing any sense of distance control.

As long as golf has been played, the omnipresent tips telling you to “keep your eye on the ball” or “keep your head still” do serve a purpose. Both help you develop a relative center, and to a degree, that helps you rotate in a consistent way.

Although this refreshing drink went viral on TikTok last summer, it's been around a lot longer. Yes, you may have noticed, the drink is called lemonade, but it's made with limes. Brazilian lemonade is thought to have originated in Brazil by a street vendor. According to All Recipes, in Brazil, the drink is called limonada Suíça, which translates to Swiss lemonade. The beverage isn't Swiss, but the Swiss company, Nestlé, began selling condensed milk in Brazil in the 1900s, which could be where the drink got its name.
