Stricker Strikes Again

Steve Stricker won the 2023 Senior PGA Championship in a playoff on the PGA Champions Tour, making him now 2-for-2 in Senior Majors this year. Can he continue his hot streak and win the Grand Slam later this year (by winning all 5 Men’s Senior Majors)?
Meanwhile on the PGA Tour, despite a bizarre double bogey on the 18th forcing a playoff, the Argentine Emiliano Grillo walked away with his second PGA Tour victory in Fort Worth at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Grillo also gained a few life-time fans this week after letting two kids hit range balls with him while prepping for the playoff holes. You love to see it.
Finally, College golf wrapped up their Men’s individual championships on Monday, as Florida’s Fred Biondi erased a 5-shot deficit to win the 2023 Men’s NCAA individual title. The Brazilian now has a decision to make — stay an Amateur and accept his 2024 Masters invitation by virtue of this win, or forego the Masters invite and turn professional. What would you choose?

Team play will continue Tuesday and Wednesday with match-play between the final remaining 8 schools: North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Pepperdine, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Virginia, and Arizona State.

Bizarre scenes on 18.
