981: NLU Special Projects - Our Favorite Masters

For this edition of NLU Special Projects, KVV canvassed Team NLU with a simple question: which Masters tournament is your favorite and why? Some of the answers are predictable. Some will surprise you. All are deeply personal and reveal a unique connection to this golf tournament held each April in Augusta, Georgia.

Let's revisit one of our favorite KVV pieces from Masters week: The journey to golf's greatest destination comes at the risk of its greatest heartache — and even golf's best know it all too well. 

827: Soly Played Augusta National

814: Masters Deep Dives - '77, '80, '89, '11

: After all the scar tissue from going IN the water, he had to basically aim at the water on this one/ His drive on 18 - absolute seed and sets up an awesome second shot and birdie.

: Starting with second shot and then him playing it from the water.

It's such a sick angle and shows you just how much that front pin puts the fear of god into you. This was probably the highlight of his round - he got up and down for bogey.

: This was dirty from Akshay, I thought. 

Laying the face open and pulling this off was really impressive. I didn’t know Akshay had hands like this!

152nd Open - Royal Troon

For his debut GHIN & Tonic, Cody chats Lauren Coughlin's inspiring finish at the Evian, what Scotland means to him and shares what he's been up to this summer. 

Three Things I Learned from 48 Hours in Troon

Troon, in all its simplicity, beautifully defies everything a host city of a major sporting event is expected to be — and a few other defiance-themed observations from the start of KVV's week on site.

Royal Troon Golf Club - Soly Vs. Tron | No Laying Up Film Room

TROON — On Wednesday of the Open Championship, I walked nine holes with Bryson DeChambeau, hoping to get a little insight into his #process, and how it might conflict with the elements expected to greet him the following day.

After every shot, Bryson studies the readings on his launch monitor, and someone from his team takes a cell phone picture of the numbers. Every swing is then cataloged. Multiple shots get hit, and the process repeats. His swing coach, Dana Dahlquist, offers occasional suggestions, but for the most part, DeChambeau works through his thoughts out loud.

“How is it possible that is 1.4 right?” DeChambeau said Wednesday, watching in disgust as a drive peeled left, deep into the rough. “There is no way. No. Way.”

Maybe there is a glare on the ball that’s affecting the launch monitor, someone on his team suggested.

Maybe the temperature is messing with the readings, someone else mused.

“That wind should not affect that ball that much,” DeChambeau said, and several members of the team shrugged. DeChambeau reloaded.

The science did not support what he was feeling.

I’m not a betting man, but if that’s your vice, I would highly recommend fading DeChambeau at the Open Championship for the foreseeable future. What happened on Thursday was as predictable as the Scottish sunrise. (Which is to say: Mostly predictable.) DeChambeau, arguably the best overall player in the majors this season, looked like a glitching laptop in need of a Control + Alt + Delete reboot, particularly on the front nine. He went out in 42 and looked headed for a disastrous round before salvaging it a bit and shooting 76.

He was flummoxed by the wind change, the temperature change, and in general, the mysteries of links golf. He was even flummoxed by the English language afterward. When asked by Brendan Quinn of The Athletic if there were certain elements of links golf that were incalculable, he was quick to correct what he assumed was an error.

The Open Championship may not bring out the best in DeChambeau, but it does bring out an endlessly entertaining version of him.

“I'm going to go figure it out,” DeChambeau said. “It's something equipment-related. The golf ball is … look, I'm not at 190 ball speed, so particularly when I'm hitting driver or 3-wood, those clubs are built for around that speed, that 190 ball speed, and my 3-wood around 180, so colder, firmer conditions the golf ball is not compressing as much. So it's probably something along those lines.”

If only we could play every major championship in a simulator.

It sounds like I’m making fun of him, but his success is often predicated on never accepting that user error might have been part of the problem, and I kind of admire it. He believes if the numbers are right, the ball is going to be right. And while that goes against everything we’ve come to know about links golf, that you can remove the magic and replace it with science, that delusion might help him win a lot of majors. (Just not this one.) I want him stubbornly trying to fight the Scottish, English and Irish wind for another decade, convinced he can be the first man to defeat it.

Bryson DeChambeau in the Open Championship is a gift that I want to unwrap every year and find new ways to be surprised. He wasn’t angry this year. The two-time U.S. Open winner answered every question with a smile on his face. There will never be anything quite as entertaining as his declaration back in 2021 that his “driver sucks.” In fact, he seemed very much at peace with it all.

“That's golf, my man,” he said. “It's frustrating.”

Amen, Bryson. We can absolutely agree on that.

NLU Podcast, Episode 813: LPGA Match Play & ANWA Preview + Rachel Heck Interview

ANWA

The journey to golf's greatest destination comes at the risk of its greatest heartache — and even golf's best know it all too well. 

Jon Rahm wants you to know that he loved the PGA Tour. He has a lot of great memories from the years he spent playing there. He doesn’t have regrets, but he has … feelings. He’s not too proud to admit that. In the months leading up to the WM Phoenix Open, he would drive past the course fairly often, see the grandstands going up, and the weight of his decision to join LIV Golf would return to the forefront of his mind.

“Knowing that I wasn't going to be there was quite hard, right?” Rahm said Tuesday. “I still love the PGA TOUR, and I still hope everything [is for] the best, and I still hope that at some point I can compete there again.”

Rory McIlroy gave what had to have been the shortest press conference in the long and tortured history of Rory McIlroy press conferences on Tuesday. It felt like a less-than-subtle attempt to cut down on distractions but still fulfill his press obligations, McIlroy arrived three minutes ahead of his 12:30 press conference, answered seven questions and was done by 12:33. At past Masters, he’s been willing to open a door to his brain and let everyone look around inside, and the results have been mixed, so perhaps this strategy will offer better returns. He did, as he often does, get briefly philosophical.

“If I cast my mind back to 18-year-old Rory and I'm driving down Magnolia Lane for the first time, how would I feel and I think, it's just always trying to go back to being grateful and feeling incredibly lucky that you can be a part of this tournament and you get to compete in it every year,” McIlroy said.

“Thankfully, I've improved a bit since my first start here, and I feel like I've got all the tools to do well this week. But, again, to bring those tools out, I think one of the most important things is to enjoy it and smell the — I guess not the roses, the azaleas along the way.”

This is my fifth Masters, and every time I step on the property, I realize just how miserably addicted I am to my cell phone. There are some Masters traditions that I find a bit overwrought, but forcing people to actually be present and not have their face buried in a screen remains one of the best things about this place. The first hour you’re here, you feel minor waves of panic because you can’t resist patting your front and back pockets, looking for a phone you’re convinced you dropped or left behind somewhere. But eventually, it fades, and a bit of serenity washes over you. The urge to look up stats, or names, or take pictures of every little interaction disappears. You wonder why it’s so hard to untether yourself from online bullshit in your everyday life. A lot of cynics think this is the only sporting event where this would work, and maybe they’re right, maybe Masters tickets are so hard to get that people will agree to anything, but it sure does work here.


You can count Jordan Spieth as a fan. At least at the Masters.
“It's amazing,” Spieth said Tuesday. “But I also understand how advantageous cell phones are for the growth of our sport. So, it's nice for a week, but if it was every tournament, you know, we would -- our growth would be limited.


“But what's really cool about it is you just feel that everyone's very, very present. They're not focused on if they got the right shot that they're sending and maybe they don't even know where your ball went, right? And here the patrons are -- just like at the Open Championship, they're just highly educated, they're very involved, they're very present.
“So you end up having those kind of roars and stuff that may be similar but might not be, you know, with the phones out. It's very nice because you feel like everyone's there with you all the time.”

Group 5: Soly reacted: “Thorbjorn’s special exemption came with an asterisk - *has to play with Bryson

Group 7 and 8: Sneaky strong groups of flushers. Big Tex Sergio, Chris Kirk and my guy Foxy. And then Glover, Ben An, Harris English.

Group 9: Mickelson gives Finau varying degrees of legal advice on the pending litigation he’s embroiled in out in Utah with businessmen who funded his early career, while Sepp minds his own business.

Group 10: Oddly keyed in on this one, despite my ongoing beef with Canada. The more I watch Nick Taylor the more interested I am. Grouped with Henley and Joaco, two guys who should play well this week. This one punches up.

Group 11: Interesting/would watch. Min Woo Lee, No Hat Pat, Rick. The Unstable Compound juxtaposed with the Apollo-backed stability of Cantlay. Also, Rickie’s been playing some bad golf since his win in Detroit last year - weird arc going from contending at LACC and winning at Rocket Mortgage to complete his resurgence, to missing 4/9 cuts so far this year and no finishes better than 35th, and the issues seem to be 

. I’d say we’re at a crossroads, but then I remember he’s only 35.

Group 12: It’s like an addiction support group, but for putting: Hideki, Zalatoris, JT.

Group 13: V intense. Rahm, Fitz, Dunlap. Not a lot of chatter there.

Group 14: Scottie, Rory, Xander not being a feature group is so sick. I respect them for pairing the three of them up and then not hiding it a bit.
