It was only a matter of time for Jason Day. He’s been one of the most consistent major championship players over the last 5 years. Day finally got his first major out dueling 2-Time Major Winner Jordan Spieth. I can see him winning 4-8 majors over the course of his career. He’s contended at every …

Let’s give Zach Johnson his due. Coming into the final round of the British Open, the story was Jordan Spieth’s pursuit of the Grand Slam, or amateur Paul Dunne making a run at the major. Maybe Sergio Garcia or Jason Day were going to win their 1st major. Zach Johnson came into Monday a …

One word comes to my mind when I think this year’s Virginia Cavalier baseball team – RESILIENT. Shortly after the 1st inning ended yesterday in the series deciding UVA/Vanderbilt game I tweeted this out.

When I said Jordan Spieth was going to win a U.S. Open , I didn’t know he’d win this week. I did him have right behind Rory Mcilory as my pre-tournament favorite. Even after making a double bogey on the 17th hole, Speith came back with a brilliantly played 18th that he ended up birdieing. What’s …
