A bomb disposal expert is the ideal person to be a golfer's mental coach

Having a bomb disposal [expert], that's probably the best person in the world to talk to about remaining calm. [Jon] Rahm wanted to fix his temper because he used to have these outbursts on the course.

Jon Rahm credited his mental coach, Joseba Del Carmen, with helping his mental game.

It is always a golfer with an infant who wins the Masters

I would've liked to known the fact that [Jon Rahm] just had a kid. So he's got two kids now... one of which is less than a year old. Another thing I would've liked to known about before I decided who to bet on, because it's always a golfer with an infant that wins at the Masters.

The previous two winners (Scheffler and Rahm) both had infants at the time of their victories.

Tiger Woods' injuries always seem to flare up exactly when he starts playing poorly

I wouldn't say this, but some people online would say this... Tiger's injury did seem to come on like a wave as soon as he started playing bad. I wouldn't say that... but I read that and I was like, Hmm. Something to think about.

This is a cynical interpretation of events that cannot be definitively proven or disproven.

Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief

It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.

Rory himself later admitted it was a burden, supporting this view.

Now that he's won the Masters, Rory McIlroy could stack three or four more majors

This is the damn burst that now frees them up to be truly like, fuck it. I'm gonna go do like... he's got a ton of runway in front of him. He could stack three or four more of these.

This will be proven over the next several years of golf majors.

Maryland needs Florida's Clayton to sprain an ankle to win the Sweet 16 matchup

I think we need Clayton to sprain his ankle. Not badly, not bad. I'm not rooting for it and I'm not rooting for an injury like that guy's got such big balls... Maryland needs to play its best, the best be the best version of itself and I think they can win the game.

Florida defeated Maryland and advanced to the Final Four. Walter Clayton Jr. was healthy and named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, leading Florida to the national championship.
