👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
Last week, we had our back-to-back under-25 champion on the PGA Tour. But there are some quirky facts about this new first-time winner that you might not have known, including the ones we will talk about today. Meanwhile, there’s a 456-file that details John Daly’s strange but wild years on the PGA Tour, starting from 1991. Oh, and we have a confession about Augusta National.
Let’s tee it up…
The Daily Nine just leveled up.
Now it's 18 holes across two levels. Complete front nine, and then unlock the back nine. Expect more bunkers, trickier winds, and plenty of surprises.

If You Had One Shot at Playing a Bucket-List Course, Would You Choose Augusta National or The Old Course?
Mike Hill at the 1998 GTE Classic.
On August 4, 2025, three-time PGA Tour winner Mike Hill passed away at the age of 86. A winner of 18 titles on the PGA Tour Champions, Hill spent four years in the U.S. Air Force after high school and took a great liking to golf, just like his older brother, Dave Hill. Mike played his last tournament in 2007, but continued playing and teaching at his family’s Michigan golf course.
