ATLANTA -- By unofficial count it was a simple two-fist-bump beginning at the first tee Thursday. And a simple cool handshake on the 18th green. No secret fraternal shakes or bro-hugs. Not so much as a playful locker room-style towel snap.

ATLANTA -- Kyle Stanley is not exactly sure what he was doing one year ago.

Being just 24 has its advantages, beyond even all the usual ones we'd repossess if only we could.

Say, for example, you're Justin Thomas and you're having a tough time of it on the golf course. Granted, that's a full-eclipse kind of rarity lately. Then, and only then, are you allowed to consider how absurd it all is that you have collected this...Read more

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Phil Mickelson pounded a drive onto the 18th fairway at Conway Farms and then had almost enough time before his second shot to fly home for one of his kids' graduations.

Henrik Stenson might not know you personally, but he still knows you.

He knows you change into soft spikes in the parking lot, pay your green fee and then maybe, at most, spend 10 seconds stretching your upper body by grabbing a rail of the golf cart.

"All the guys who run straight to the first tee box, you'll want to make sure to give ...Read more

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Of course, any major would have been terrific, but Justin Thomas winning the PGA Championship added extra luster.
