\"Hittin Welcome back to Hittin’ the Links<\/em>! The American team was victorious at the Presidents Cup this weekend, routing the International team to the tune of 19-11. Jordan Spieth had an interesting rules snafu, as we’ll dig into. <\/p>\n

We’ll also hear from Tiger Woods, check in with the European and LPGA Tours, and summarize the Web.com Tour Championship. All that plus a deep dive into the personal life of Arnold Palmer. <\/p>\n

Let’s hit the links.
\n
\nHole #1: U.S. Routs Internationals in Presidents Cup<\/strong>
\nThe American team was decisively victorious at this year’s Presidents Cup, winning 19-11. That score makes it seem even closer than it was. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #2: Spieth Loses Hole on Odd Rule Violation<\/strong>
\nJordan Spieth lost a hole Saturday in bizarre fashion. He swatted a missed put by Louis Oosthuizen away to concede the putt rather than letting it come to a complete stop, in violation of Rule 1-2, proving that even the best in the world sometimes screw up the simple ones. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #3: Woods: ‘I don’t know what my future holds’<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods caused quite a stir at the beginning of the week, stressing in a press conference that he was still very early in the rehab process after his April back surgery. Summed up well: “There’s no rush.” [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #4: Paul Dunne Bests McIlroy at British Masters<\/strong>
\nPaul Dunne carded a final-round 61 to hold off a late-charging Rory McIlroy and win his first professional event at Close House Golf Club. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #5: Arnold Palmer, As Told By His Daughter Peg<\/strong>
\nIf you’re going to visit one of these links, make it this one. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #6: Brooke Henderson Wins New Zealand Women’s Open<\/strong>
\nDespite constant rain and a Monday finish, Henderson’s five-shot win made her the only LPGA golfer to win multiple times in both 2016 and 2017. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #7: Jonathan Byrd Wins Web.com Tour Championship<\/strong>
\n39-year-old Jonathan Byrd won the Web.com Tour Championship by three shots, earning his PGA Tour card for the first time since 2015. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #8: Matt Harmon Narrowly Misses Out on PGA Tour Card<\/strong>
\nWith just two holes to play in the Web.com Tour Championship, Matt Harmon was in position to earn his PGA Tour card. Missed 3-footers for birdie on 17 and par on 18 dropped him out of the top 25, relegating him back to the Web.com Tour. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #9: Weekly Woods Wrap-up<\/strong>
\nIf you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to play a competitive round with Tiger Woods, reading these profiles is your best way to find out. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
