Remarkable and uncharacteristic day on the greens for Jake Knapp. Didn't make a putt outside 5 feet and lost more than 5 strokes on the greens, dead last at the RBC Heritage. He ranks 2nd on TOUR in putting this year.

That's officially Collin Morikawa's best ball-striking performance of his career. Morikawa gained 6.45 strokes on approach, his best single-round performance. Also best of anybody ever in this event.

Scottie Scheffler flew up Monday and played Shinnecock Hills for the first time. He'll be going for the career grand slam at the U.S. Open there in two weeks. What did he think about the golf course? Part of his answer... "I was a little surprised at the width of the fairways but the green complexes there are extremely difficult. That's where the greatest challenge comes from. The rough also was a really good penalty for the width. Once you start missing fairways out there, you have no chance."

Scottie Scheffler and Robert MacIntyre were put on the clock Saturday at the BMW Championship. Scheffler called it frustrating. "I didn't really feel like I did anything to put us behind on time." Scheffler said he felt gusts on 12 and 13 but couldn't step off because of it.

Englishman Harry Hall has been the 5th-best Euro golfer over the last 3 months, per Data Golf. But Hall told me he hasn't had any recent conversations with Ryder Cup leadership. He was also not fitted for a uniform, a standard practice for those on the radar to make the team.

Asked Justin Thomas what has led to the drastic improvement with the putter (from 174th to 24th). He revealed he sought Xander Schauffele's help. Xander spent 2-3 hours with JT in the offseason and helped JT refind his feels. "It was more of the questions he asked me made me realize that I'm trying basically too hard and I'm trying too many different things."

Adam Scott said conditions were “borderline unplayable” toward the end, when asked about Sam Burns being declined a casual water ruling at 15. “But we played, everyone had to deal with it.”

Lots of mud balls this week at Memorial. Most players have felt they're unavoidable. Unless you're Viktor Hovland, who was asked if he has a game plan to avoid mudballs. Predictably, the man who thinks through everything has thought through that.

This era of Justin Rose's career has been so enjoyable to watch. Runner-up at '24 Open, nearly clipped Rory at the Masters. Won a playoff event. Back in world's top-10 at age 45. Continues to grind. Has to be immensely fulfilling for him.

Incredible line from Bob MacIntyre, talking about the fan who jeered him on the 14th that led to his shushing of the crowd. "He was just shouting I missed it, he's pushed it. Pushed it right in the middle of the hole, I guess."

Fun moment from Johnny Miller and Jack Nicklaus. Miller was breaking down Jack's swing and comparing it to Scottie Scheffler's. "I've never heard my swing analyzed that way," Nicklaus said. "He was dead on. That was really good."

Count me all the way in on Adam Scott. A career that feels worthy of more than one major. And he agrees. "Another major more would really go a long way in fulfilling my own self, when it's all said and done."

An underrated part of Ben Griffin's ascension is his speed gains. He's averaging 176mph ball speed this year, up from 172 in 2024. That's a MASSIVE jump. Griffin shot 65 today at Memorial. "There's a lot of talk about the golf ball and the technology and how far it's going. And whether or not you like it or not, for me, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to hit it really far." "(On) 18, I just had sand wedge in... that's a hole I had 5-irons in, and I was coming from the rough. I wasn't hitting it as straight." "It's weird, I feel like when I'm swinging hard I'm actually like hitting it kind of straighter. It's funky. Golf's a weird sport, but here I am. I guess I'm an athlete now."

Davis Riley shot 80 in back-to-back starts at The Sentry and The Amex in January. He said he became "obsessive" in trying to turn his natural draw into a neutral swing -- and it tanked him. "It's so easy to get caught up... instead of doing the same things and enjoying the mundane of things."

Keegan Bradley responded to Rory McIlroy's comments that being a playing captain in this era would be too difficult. "He might be right. We don't know. No one knows."
