The common question among those following LPGA right now isn't really, “Who's going to win the BMW Ladies Championship?” Rather, it’s: “Are we getting yet another different winner this week?” Fair question, but a tough one to answer.

Sei Young Kim carded a 69 in the third round, building a four-stroke lead in South Korea. If Kim wins, she will become another different winner on the LPGA this season. But it will not be easy. Yealimi Noh, Nasa Hataoka, Somi Lee, and Celine Boutier are closing in on Kim after firing rounds of 67, 69, 67, and 69, respectively. Right now, six players are within four shots of the leader.

We also noticed two unlikely stars.

First, Lucy Li. The 23-year-old American (68-70-70) made a hole-in-one on the par-3 13th on Thursday and won a BMW i7. Check out the brilliant moment and the fitting reaction here.

The other one is also an American. Brooke Matthews. The former Arkansas Razorback teed off with a sizzling 7-under 65 on Thursday. Friday, she did one better: 8-under 64. Although she cooled off with a 74 on Saturday, Matthews is at T4 heading to the final round.

You might not have heard the name. She turned pro just three years ago, lost her card, regained it this season, and made just one top-10 so far. That came at the LOTTE Championship earlier this month. At her alma mater, though, she was a star — six wins, and the NCAA’s lowest 54-hole record-holder. That's a standout resume.

She has struggled in the top tier of women’s professional golf, but you know how it is in golf. Sometimes, one breakthrough win is all you need to start a new chapter. For Brooke, this week might turn out to be it.

Plenty is happening outside the LPGA world. Plenty of drama, that is. From a Florida courtroom to the Delhi Golf Club, here are the top three newsworthy moments from Friday:

Jack Nicklaus's defamation case: Yes, everything about Jack Nicklaus's defamation case is gobsmacking. One, it is against his former allies for allegedly spreading false rumors and harming his reputation. Second, the trial itself. You might expect it to be heated. Instead, the opposition attorney is singing paeans about him in court. Can you guess why? No, not a homage. The reason is brilliantly cunning, as you will find out here.

Will Zalatoris is back: Early in 2025, Will Zalatoris underwent his second back surgery for herniated discs. It forced him into a seven-month sabbatical. But, as of now, the Wake Forest alum has committed to play in the Nedbank Challenge in December. Good for him, and good for us too, because get ready to witness more such you-must-see-it-to-believe-it shots like this one below:

Ground reports from Delhi: Tommy Fleetwood shot a bogey-free 8-under 64 on Friday to take the lead in India, making eight birdies in the process. Maybe he took some inspiration from his kid, Frankie. See for yourself the seven-year-old’s swing. Meanwhile, Shane Lowry shot a 3-under 69 to tie with Brian Harman (68-65) for a share of second place. Rory McIlroy carded two straight 69s, putting him tied for 22nd, while Viktor Hovland fired 67 yesterday, becoming the first player this week to hit all the fairways at Delhi Golf Club. Impressive.

By now, you know enough about the backlash former PGA Tour pro Colt Knost is facing. All because he wanted to regain his amateur status. Now, Knost might not have a PGA Tour title under his belt. But hey, he is the owner of the luckiest putts of the past decade, as you can see here. Nevertheless, the bigger question is, can he regain his status? Yes, here is how:

So, Colt Knost is not wrong to apply for his amateur status, and might get it back. If he does, he won’t surely be the first one. Here are five others who regained their amateur status.

Viktor Hovland is a man of simple pleasures. The ever-smiling 28-year-old started his India trip with some deep questions about the 15th-century architecture sprinkled in and around the course. But that was only a sign of what’s to come—Hovland in full Indian traditional attire. It was the DPWT Diwali party, and Hovland had a blast. Sparkly attire. Sparkling smile. This dapper look would give Tom Cruise a run for his money.

We should’ve come to expect this. Hovland has a curious mind. He reads books that Ivy League seniors only open before finals. And a day before this Diwali celebration, the famed Indian tuk-tuks caught the attention of our man. Of course, he decided to take a ride and make a short vlog. We present you the most hilarious video you will watch all week.

Hovland keeps on giving.
