👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
Finally, after six months and 22 days, Scottie Scheffler got to pick up his 21st PGA Tour title. Following the win, the American seemed stress-free and spoke at length about many things you and we were curious about, including his bad break, runner-up finishes, and newborn son. We have covered that, plus Gary Player’s big declaration after Bryson DeChambeau announced his return, Jordan Spieth’s explanation behind “bad decisions,” and more.
Onward…
Scheffler spoke about his bad break, the runner-up finishes, and what he told his caddie in a freewheeling conversation after his victory.

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.
New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
