What a fabulous piece of work. I watched his final holes, and he was really solid. I didn't realize he was barely 20. Can you imagine that? Fabulous reporting and writing and making a fun sports story. Who needs SI?

Geez. If you shot 7 under par for four straight rounds, you would still lose to this kid by a stroke.

Yes, the golf ball and equipment have made the game easier to hit for distance, but talent like this is spectacular.

It's also great to see that tournament, which has taken a beating over the years in terms of sponsorship, field and media perception outside of Southern California, get a great storyline and intriguing champion.

I always enjoyed that tournament but it was much better after it went to 72 holes, fewer courses, and fewer ams.
