ListenTwo weeks after wondering whether her professional golf career was over, Haylee Harford Sanchez shot a final-round 63 that put her dream of returning to the LPGA back within reach.
ListenSeven years after starting Monday Q as a passion project, a meeting outside a bathroom at the PGA Show led to the opportunity of a lifetime: hosting Big Break: Meet the Players.
Fighting Illini alumnus Tommy Kuhl has been struggling in the pro golf ranks since turning pro. He Monday qualified this year into the ISCO Championship and just Monday qualified for the Pinnacle Bank Championship on Korn Ferry Tour. He talks about dealing with anxiety, the challenges of pro golf, and the importance of building a support system to keep the game in perspective.
It’s good to see Harold Varner have a good week on LIV. I’ve always been a fan of his. I’ve said many times but his statement when he left for LIV was truthful and straightforward. He thanked the PGA Tour and said the offer to leave was too good to pass up. He also runs a foundation that has done amazing things in the Carolinas.
According to multiple people I spoke with Michael Block walked off the course in the Senior European Tour event after the 12th hole today in the final round of the PGA Seniors According to the multiple people I spoke with, the word in the locker room was he didn't say anything to his playing partners. Multiple people said it was known Block was frustrated with the course conditions. This morning he showed up to his tee time late and was given a two-stroke penalty. He shot an opening nine of 43 and after a bogey on 12, he walked in. On the leaderboard he is listed as a DQ. He was in the field on a sponsors exemption.
Ryan French and Mark Baldwin talk about Baldwin's comeback at the scorching Arizona Open -- and take social media questions: the next wave of players, whether Speith will win again, Blades Brown's choices, and LIV 2.0.
It’s been a long summer for @markbaldwin1 It’s hard to play free when the bills keep piling up. The Arizona was make or break time. Mark told me last week “I need some signs that I still can play”. Well he got them. For the 3rd yr in a row he finishes runner up at the AZ Open. And since amateur Cody Massa won he gets to split first-third place money with Jimmy Hard K and Trevor Lewis. A very important $16,000 check on the way. Super happy for a great friend. Awesome event as always run by the @SWSectionPGA

David Hansen needed a playoff to make the JV high school golf team as a senior. He couldn't break 100. He didn't play college golf. And on Monday he qualified for the KFT event at age 32. One of the most unlikely Monday Q stories I've ever covered. ⬇️ https://t.co/j5rLL4nCQP
