Why Does A Leader Of The Indonesian Genocide Get To Play In So Many PGA Tour Pro-Ams?
There is a scene near the start of Joshua Oppenheimer’s award-winning 2012 documentary The Act Of Killing in which Japto Soerjosoemarno—the leader of far-right paramilitary group Pemuda Pancasila—is being interviewed on a golf course about his role in the Indonesian genocide of 1965-66.

The Real Hero Of The British Open Is Eddie Pepperell, Who Played His Final Round Hungover
Francesco Molinari of Italy won The Open Championship Sunday, following up his third-round 65 with a final-round 69 to finish two shots clear of the field and capture his first career major title. He is not the hero of the tournament. Nor is Tiger Woods the hero, even after his stirring two day char...
Tiger Woods Rages Against The Dying Of The Light Or Whatever With Third-Round 66
Tiger Woods surged up the leaderboard at The Open Championship Saturday, jumping from 29th to a briefly held share of the lead with a third-round 66. While it may not be a performance worthy of the Golf Channel’s insane promo, it was nonetheless quite bitchin’, and leaves open the possibility of Tig...
Cheatin' Phil Mickelson Becomes Self-Reporting Phil Mickelson After Stomping On A Tuft Of Grass
Noted cheater Phil Mickelson played out the final round of the clumsily named A Military Tribute at Greenbriar Sunday, well out of contention from start to finish. Perhaps it was the low-stakes atmosphere of this formality of a round that led Phil to earn back some brownie points on the par-4 sevent...

After the first round of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York, there was a four-way tie for the lead between Russell Henley, Ian Poulter, Dustin Johnson, and Scott Piercy, all of whom shot a one-under 69.

Brooks Koepka Drops In A Ridiculous 208-Yard Albatross
Brooks Koepka shot a course-record-tying 63 today in the final round of The Players, which was good enough to bring him into the top five of the leaderboard. Lots of good stuff in a 63, but the true highlight of his day was an amazing 208-yard approach shot on the par-5 16th hole. Check this shit ou...
Every Force In The Universe Conspires To Cruelly Thwart Golfer's Eagle Approach Shot
You are not going to do a whole lot of mourning for a golfer because he narrowly missed an eagle—first of all it’s golf, and second of all, you tap in for birdie a shot later and that’s about the best anyone can realistically hope for in this awful world. But this, man, this shot, from Peter Malnati...
PGA Tour Event Made Much Cooler By Crew Of Fun-Loving Gators
The Zurich Classic’s being played this weekend down in Louisiana, and the tournament features a few hundred golfers (okay) and approximately 20 alligators (great!). This little buddy was kind of interrupted by a Talor Gooch shot, and they tried to scare him off by throwing a rake towards him. He ate...
Golfer Kelly Kraft Misses Cut After Tee Shot Nails Bird Mid-Flight
I truly wish video existed of this event: Kelly Kraft narrowly missed the cut at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina Friday after his tee shot at the par-3 14th hit a bird mid-flight and dropped directly into a water hazard. Per the PGA’s website:...
Bubba Watson Sends Eagle Putt Directly Into The Bunker
Owing to the insane three-day brilliance of leader Patrick Reed, Bubba Watson’s perfectly respectable six-under headed into Sunday at the Masters put him nowhere close to contending for the lead in the final round. An early eagle certainly wouldn’t have hurt the cause! I bring that up because Watson...
Rory McIlroy Says Booze Is Making Golf Fans Too Dang Rowdy
Rory McIlroy is sitting third headed into the final round of this weekend’s Arnold Palmer Invitational in sunny Orlando. During his third-round 67 on Saturday, McIlroy was irritated once again by rowdy fan behavior, and he’s got an idea for a solution, per ESPN:...
Tiger Woods's Impressive Showing Comes Up Agonizingly Short
This weekend’s Valspar Championship wound up quite a bit more thrilling than your average pre-Masters tune-up: Tiger Woods came into Sunday near the top of the leaderboard, and spent the afternoon just off the lead, tantalizingly close to a breakthrough win for this comeback chapter of his career. T...
Tiger Woods Is In The Lead In The Third Round Of An Honest-To-God Golf Tournament
Oh man. Tiger Woods is atop the leaderboard in the third round of the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida. Woods shot a 68 on Friday, and has stayed out of trouble so far on Saturday, scattering four birdies thru 11 holes without any bogies. He jumped into a tie for the lead with this delic...
Adam Hadwin Nails Insane Sidewinding Birdie Putt
This happened today in the third round of 2018 Mexico Championship at the Club de Golf Chapultepec—Adam Hadwin, who finished the day tied for 21st place, picked out a hilariously imaginative line for his birdie putt on the par-3 third hole. Check this shit out:...
