ListenA 39-year-old part-time taxi driver without electricity or running water makes the cut in a pro event with decades-old clubs.
Ryan French and Mark Baldwin talk about Ciganda's comments and getting revenge on Kupcho; Europe winning the Solheim Cup; a former teacher getting in contention at Champions Tour; results from Korn Ferry Tour, Epson Tour and DP World Tour; and Monday Q's upcoming week at The Golf Party.
Tomorrow there could be one of the most unlikely @ChampionsTour winners ever. Monday Q Jay Jurecic is tied for the lead with Zach Johnson headed into the final round. Jurecic was a school teacher for decades in a tiny little town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He didn't play high school golf or college golf and didn't even attempt the game until he was 18. He became good relative quickly but teaching and the fact he lived in UP of Michigan aren't conducive to getting better. Yet somehow he did…and then some. In fact he would spend his summers on the Dakotas Tour playing mini-tour events. And he had a win and numerous good finishes. When he turned 50 in 2021 he resigned from teaching and started chasing the Champions Tour. But he's only qualified for 3 events in five years. Between those events he played wherever he could. The guy is a true grinder. Last season he won the Michigan Tournament of Champions, most the players were 30 years younger than him. He did it by making eagle on the last hole when his 3-wood from 260 hit the flag and be tapped I'm for eagle to tie for the lead. He then won in a playoff. Tomorrow a former teacher from a tiny town in the UP of Michigan, who didn't play high school or college golf, and in just his 4th ever Champions event will tee off tied for the lead. If that doesnt make you love Monday Qs, well I can't help you.
I was just sent a video of someone going hammer on a club pro because they couldn't get caddies (the club has very limited caddies in the fall once kids go back to school). The person was wildly out of line and I would post it but I don't want the person who shot the video to get in trouble. But I feel so bad for club pros. 95% of people are great at clubs, the 5% outweights the 95% and its not close. Give up your summers, your weekends, your holidays and get bitched at by people who will never be happy. Every club pro deserves a raise.

The 10 footer for birdie didn't even sniff the hole but I'm not telling anyone that. https://t.co/I2agEnaTTx
Today is final round of the Golf Party with hosted by @JakeTrout and Huey Lewis. An amazing event that raises a ton of money for some great causes. I don't even know what to say anymore about experiences like this. I don't know how to articulate how lucky I feel to be able to do things like this. I also know I put tweets out like this often but it's honestly for selfish reasons. It's a public way to remind myself to never take these for granted, never get used to them, never feel comfortable enough to think this is routine. I spoke with people I've never dreamed I'd be able to meet let alone share a drink with. So I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you supporting me and making this a thing. I promise it doesn't go unnoticed. Now Mark and I (two back in the “celeb”- pro division) have to go win a golf tournament this afternoon. Love u all.

I got this message from a coach of one of the schools our foundation helped last week. These mean the world to us. We want to change as many lives as we can. We are having our biggest fundraiser, an outing at Flossmoor near Chicago. Sept 28th. And quite frankly we need more people to sign up. So if you want to play a great course, help a great cause, we would love and really need your help. https://t.co/yN5lV6Maw6

Turned out pretty well. @trevorrosen and I teamed up to win. Let me know what you guys want. https://t.co/NkflEsZTxL https://t.co/aX8JxEDQ5n
