“For every winner, there are 155 losers. In three of the four majors, that is the result.
Twenty years ago at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, Chad Campbell was one of those 155, but this loss was a little more difficult for the Texan to shake.
The 29-year-old had a front row seat to one of the most amazing shots in major championship history as Shaun Micheel hit a 175-yard 7-iron from the left rough that resulted in an all-time walk-off shot. The ball rolled to within inches of the cup.”

“An albatross is rare in any week at a professional golf event. After all, making a 2 on a par 5 happens far less frequently than holes-in-one, with only 48 of them in the LPGA Tour's 73-year history.
Yet Superstition Mountain Golf Club in Gold Canyon, Ariz., has celebrated two this week at the Drive On Championship, with major winner Yuka Saso holing out on the par-5 second for a deuce during the second round on Friday. She joined PGA of America pro Roy Smith, who made his albatross as a participant in the tournament’s pro-am on Wednesday.”

“You see her influence right away, starting with Dinah’s Place, the pavilion surrounding the 18th green at the Club at Carlton Woods. The players’ lounge is also called the 1972 Club. And the ice cream in player dining is a distinct nod to the soft-serve machine that was always a hit in the old Mission Hills clubhouse. Those touches, connecting the past to the present and the present to the future, came together this week at the Chevron Championship because of a committed sponsor, an enthusiastic town, and the impassioned leadership of a past champion and former world No.1 – Stacy Lewis.”

“Stacy Lewis admits it’s a little bit strange being at the LPGA’s first major championship of 2023. After a half-century in Palm Springs, the Chevron Championship (formerly known as the ANA and the Dinah Shore) has relocated to the Woodlands, just outside of Houston. That means a new golf course. It means new traditions. But for Lewis it means a blast from the past, too: sleeping at home.”

“Making it to the top of the game can be very expensive. Tournament entries, travel, accommodation, food, caddies and plenty more outgoings mean that the sport loses plenty of talent simply because a number of Pros just can't afford to keep going.
Epson Tour (the tour below the LPGA) player Hannah Gregg, who has over 165,000 followers across Instagram and Twitter, put it very frank when talking about the finances on the satellite and mini tours where a $1,000 check was up for grabs but the event cost $600 to enter.”

“When Jill McGill first toured the new Colorado Golf Hall of Fame Museum at The Broadmoor on Friday, one of her first thoughts — besides just how impressive it is — regarded her kids and how they viewed their mom’s golf career.
“To see the history they have (compiled) all the way from Babe Zaharias, it’s astounding,” said McGill, who was inducted into the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame in 2009 — and who last year became the first American to win the U.S. Senior Women’s Open. “To look at the (museum’s) timeline and all of the different people who are displayed or represented, and to be part of that, I don’t know if I really appreciated it prior. But now going through what I have and having kids, you realize, ‘Wow, there really is history.’ And selfishly looking at it, I’m like, ‘Wow, this is amazing.’ My kids will know that I actually did something besides pick up dog poop and pack lunches.”"
