Morning 9: Bird-flipper won’t appeal | Strong starts for Scott, Mickelson | The (golf) beard returns
|
By Ben Alberstadt
October 4, 2019 Good Friday morning, golf fans.
|
1. Kim won’t appeal
Golfweek staff report on the middle-finger-giving Kim…”South Korean golfer Bio Kim will not appeal the three-year ban or fine he received from the Korean Tour, according to a report by ESPN.”
2. Shriners round one leader: Nick Taylor
AP…”Nick Taylor had to scramble for par on his opening two holes Thursday, and then he couldn’t miss in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.”
3. Not knowing where the ball is going is working out well
Steve Dimeglio for Golfweek…”The 2013 Masters champion, former world No. 1 and one of the game’s best players for more than 15 years isn’t exactly sure where the ball is going these days.”
4. Vegas, babies!
Golf Channel’s Nick Menta…”Matt Wolff, Collin Morikawa and Joaquin Niemann are a combined 64 years old.”

5. Spanish Open
With round 2 underway, here’s a quick round one update from Spain…(AP report) “Kristian Krogh Johannessen of Norway shot a career-best 8-under 63 to match the course record and take a two-shot lead after the first round of the Spanish Open on Thursday.”
6. Meadow in front
AP report…”Stephanie Meadow had five straight birdies on the front nine and shot an 8-under 63 in hot and humid conditions Thursday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour’s Volunteers of America Classic.”
7. DeLaet’s back
Good to see one the coolest PGA Tour pros inside the ropes again
Golf Channel’s Nick Menta...”Making his first PGA Tour start in nearly two years, Graham DeLaet admitted he was uncomfortable.”
8. Cardi B’s next album…
Golf Digest’s Alex Myers...”During an Instagram Live chat on Wednesday, the rapper announced she’s going to name her upcoming album “Tiger Woods.” No, not in honor of the 15-time major champ, but literally after Tiger Woods. As in, at some point in the near future, kids will be able to walk into a Tower Records and buy Cardi B’s new CD, “Tiger Woods.” Wait, kids don’t buy CDs these days? And Tower Records doesn’t exist anymore?! Sigh.”
“…Anyway, here was Cardi B’s reasoning for the title…”I think I’m going to name my album Tiger Woods,” she said. “I’m going to name my album, I think, Tiger Woods, because, remember when everybody was talking sht on Tiger Woods […] and then he fcking came and won that green jacket? That’s what I’m going to name my album.”
9. Back, backing it up
Golf Digest’s Brian Wacker on Phil Mickelson’s strong start to the Shriners…”Last week, he played in the Safeway Open, a tournament he’s competed in the previous three seasons. This week it’s the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, an event he hasn’t teed it up in since 2005. That’s only the beginning.”
“Before shooting of his opening-round 65 at TPC Summerlin on Thursday, Mickelson said he also will be competing at the CJ Cup in South Korea in two weeks. He added that there’s a “good chance” he will be at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China two weeks after that. The last time Mickelson played the WGC-HSBC was two years ago. Before that, you’d have to go back to 2013 when he also played in the CIMB Classic in Malaysia the week before.”

Please make an effort to indicate WHO you are talking about. These summaries are so vague. I shouldn’t have to read to the end of the section or google “2013 Masters champ” to figure out who you are talking about.
