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 …

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 …

The NCAA Baseball tournament is down to the Super Regionals. Louisville, Florida State, Miami, and Virginia have advanced for the ACC.
