Yeah, Henderson's quite the golfer, good for her for winning the event this weekend. Oh and congrats to Brooks Koepka for winning the US open.

I read the other day that the next 3 major tournaments will all feature a player trying to complete their career grand slam - Spieth at the PGA, Rory at the Masters, and Phil at the US Open.

All trying to join the club of just five players that have accomplished the feat - Nicklaus, Woods, Hogan, Player, and Sarazen.

We gotta give Graham a little more love than that! He almost aced a par 3 leaving a tap in for birdie, he then lipped out what would have been an ace on a PAR 4 (and made the eagle putt for a 2), and he followed that up by getting a eagle on the par 5 15th.

So in three holes, he went -5 and just missed on TWO hole-in-ones . It was one of the best three hole stretches ever seen. Here's a couple highlights...

He then birdied the brutal 512 yard, par 4 16th hole. That hole probable played closer to an average of 5 than 4 this week.

It certainly doesn't have the tradition of the Ryder's Cup, but the President's Cup starts today and Adam Hadwin is on the International team.

Also, the Americans rolled over the International team in the Presidents Cup, I'm sure the two dozen or so people that watched it on tv were not entertained.
