"New York didn't really like me," Wyndham Clark said as he sealed his second U.S. Open in front of a crowd that didn't want him. Then, you heard the roars from his friends and family and found out why ~they~ love him. www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

nytimes.com
The Masters turned at Amen Corner. It was Rory McIlroy’s happy accident
The most important shot of McIlroy's title defense was not supposed to go the way it did.

Cameron Young is unflappable. It’s why he’s tied for the Masters lead
Young, 28, is a father to three young children and the Players champion. Both facts help explain how he was able to shoot a 65 Saturday.
