So, Lefty's having a day. He tweeted that his hotel was struck by lightning and caught fire. His clubs and clothes are in his room and he can't get to them and might miss his tee time.
He made it to the course. He'll still have next week off, though.
The Tour Championship and it's kinda goofy staggered start is underway. I haven't yet decided whether I am going to love or hate this format.

OK, it's 2020, but I didn't want to start a new thread. Jordan Spieth just posted a 29 on his back 9 in Hilton Head today. But for a triple on the 4th, he'd be running away with this tournament in the first round.
You folks cool if we just keep calling it The Masters?
The name “The Masters” must go.
The heralded golf tournament, one of the four majors, needs to go back to its original name — the Augusta National Invitational. It became the Masters in 1939.
Tiger Woods, other big-time golfers and corporate sponsorships should demand it. In the current climate, with all the sweeping changes, it’s only right and just. Best of all, in this case, it’s a simple and smooth fix.
The Masters never felt good or even sounded good when you said it.
And before we hear from the choir about tradition and history, save it.
When that history and tradition is rooted in slavery, it shouldn’t be preserved and honored.

I'll stick with The Masters. Just kick Fuzzy Zoeller out of the annual champions dinner and call it a win.
There's a lot of pretty awful racist crap that comes along with Augusta, but the name of the Masters isn't one of those things. That article is dumb.
