When Scottie Scheffler wins, he cries. In other words, he's done a LOT of crying this year. It's gotten to a point where it doesn't even feel special when he gets choked up anymore. Save some tears for the rest of us, Scot!. Then again, Olympic tears—gold medal tears—hit very,...

Hope Logan Spencer (Anikka Noelle) was the voice of reason on The Bold and the Beautiful until recently. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) has said many times that Hoep is fair, and he admires her morals.

Corey Pavin’s success on tour is a testament to the importance of accuracy over distance and exemplifies the old cliche, ‘Golf is a game of misses.’ Pavin, who wasn’t known for his length off the tee, made up for his shorter driving distance, 254.9-yard average, with his touch around the greens.

Rory McIlroy takes aim at LIV Golf with X-rated dig after Olympics nightmare

One of the great things about Olympic golf is there is no playing to secure a top-10 finish or the like. You either hit the podium or you don’t. That resulted in a wild final round at Le Golf National that saw those finishing in the top 10 play their final rounds in a cumulative 52 under par, with Scottie Scheffler coming out on top with a final-round 62 to grab the gold medal over a leaderboard any major championship would love to have.
