- Some good news to start off our Grab-Bag. Marc Leishman's wife Audrey is recovering well after spending some time in a medically induced coma. Leishman withdrew from the Masters to be with his wife, and now it appears she will be fine. Best wishes to the Leishman's as she continues to recover.
- It was a whirlwind week for Jordan Spieth, who went to New York City to engage in a media tour as the new Masters Champion. Congratulations have some in from all over the world, including Jordan's former University of Texas team mates and Texas celebrities. The best of the bunch? Probably Matthew McConaughey. Alright alright!
- A lot of people were freaking out when Tiger Woods hit a root in the final round of The Masters, but his agent spoke this week and said that his wrist is "fine". There is still no word when Tiger will return to competition, but all speculation seems to suggest The Players Championship.
- Those of you who were a fan of Monday golf to start the PGA Tour calender year will be disappointed to hear that the Hyundai Tournament Of Champions is returning to a traditional Thursday-Monday schedule. I, for one, am incredibly pleased, because I always felt like the Monday finish was foolish, especially considering the unpredictable weather in Hawaii in January that could push the event to a Tuesday or even Wednesday finish, which pushes it up against the Sony Open. The right call is being made here.
- Good news, selfie fans! The USGA is lifting their ban on cell phones, so you will be allowed to take as many pictures as you would like at the US Open...within the designated cell phone areas. Tablets are still a no-no.
- Looks like Vicky Hurst's comeback has gone from bad to worse. After struggling with injuries the last two seasons, Hurst was attempting to re-establish herself on the LPGA Tour. She has struggled to make cuts this season, and has withdrawn this week with a wrist injury. Hurst looked to be one of the best young American players on Tour, but now her Tour card is in serious jeopardy.
