Lucas Glover. WTF? Can't he change his pants?

I'm not a golfer. Wish I was. If I was, I would consider buying these that release at 9:00am Central time.

I'm not that avid a golf fan in terms of watching it weekly on TV, or following it closely, but I nearly always check to see if former JayHawk and 2019 US Open winner Gary Woodland has made the cut, and is high on the leaderboard.

After not seeing Woodland's name among the contestants for months, I learned Tuesday night during the UK game that he had a "brain lesion" removed from his brain surgically in mid-September. Then today, I saw this:

Gary Woodland is back on the range after having brain surgery in September. You LOVE to see it!

I looked but couldn't find exactly what was removed from his brain, but I have to think, and certainly hope, it was a meningioma:

meningioma: A usually noncancerous tumor that arises from the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

In addition to usually being benign and not cancerous, meningiomas are generally located on the surface of the brain, which means they are much easier to remove, (I use the word "easier" rather loosely), than the vast majority of other brain tumors, and are sometimes not removed until they grow large enough to become a "space-occupying lesion" large enough, to cause symptoms based on the pressure they generate due to their increasing volume.

I'm eager to see Gary's name on the qualifier's list very, very soon. In fact, while looking for details about his tumor, I read that he already has a very busy schedule lined up for 2024.

Chuck Woods....
I like and admire his confidence. I don't like his arrogance and cockiness.
I like that he has some of his father's traits. I don't like that he has some of his father's traits.
I like that he and Tiger come off as being really close. I don't like that it comes off as them thriving on being younger (Tiger) and older (Charlie) than they are. Sort of like two college buddies and their need to display their man cards. I wouldn't tell anyone how to raise their child other than to tell them to try their best to raise a good person. My hope is Charlie is a good person but let's be honest, his father at times is/was not a good person. I hope it's a learn from my mistakes and weaknesses and learn from my successes and strengths relationship. Hey, none of us are without faults but our faults aren't magnified to the degree of Tiger's (and now Charlie's). Heck, look what I am doing here. Overanalyzing Charlie and Tiger Woods. That's on me, not them.
All that being said, if I live long enough, I will be interested to see what becomes of Chuckie Woods.

Nobody cares about golf, but an amateur just won the PGA Tour American Express. Hasn't happened (an amateur winning a PGA event) in like 30 or 40 years.

Imagine how that would feel.

Hey Illy, have you been watching this?

Jordan Spieth says PIF alliance not needed after SSG-PGA Tour deal

I don't know any other details, but it would be great if the PGA doesn't have to make a deal with the devil, i.e., LIV, The Saudi Public Investment Fund.

It's all very interesting. Not sure what to think of it. So many PGA Tour guys stuck their foot in their mouth bashing the PIF....now they're all having to walk back their comments.

Either way, I think the writing is on the wall that all the tough talk from the PGA Tour about "leave and you're banned" is coming to an end and they'll all unite for at least the big events each year. Having the top players split between to totally separate tours is bad for business for all involved.

You probably noticed they showed Woodland in the stands at the KU game today. Hope he's doing well.

After the KU game I switched to the Pebble Beach Pro-AM.

The last couple of groups are finishing in a light rain, and with another atmospheric river bearing down on the coast, they don'' think it's likely the final round will be played tomorrow.

According to the CBS guy on the scene:

An inch of rain expected overnight, and 2-3" more during the day.

They're going to try to tee off at 7:45.

Winds tomorrow 25-35mph, with gusts 45-60.

Totally crazy. Monday only looks slightly better and if the course takes on that much water it'll still be borderline unplayable.

Yes, cool to see Gary and Butch Harmon in the stands. What a great atmosphere for Butch to see KU in person at AFH for the first time.

This is insane!

Scottie Scheffler arrested this morning. Might be the only way someone other than him wins the PGA Championship this week.
