September 15, 2025

Happy Monday. Jon Rahm made one of the luckiest birdies ever at the BMW PGA Championship after his wayward tee shot hit a golf cart behind the gallery, preventing an out-of-bounds disaster. The LIV star then hit an aggressive second shot that landed five yards short of the water hazard and spun back to within a foot of trouble. Instead of walking away with double bogey, Rahm chipped to a foot and tapped in for birdie, proving sometimes you eat the bear. ⬇️

⛳️ Golfer’s first shot goes really wrong

A golfer's first shot with his new home practice net went spectacularly wrong when he skied the ball completely over the setup and sent it flying toward a nearby roundabout. His excited "First shot on the home practice range!" quickly turned to disaster as his wife captured the epic fail on camera, responding "That's gone down by the roundabout! Oh, god!" The shot wasn't even close to hitting the net, creating an instant classic viral golf video while hopefully not injuring any innocent bystanders. ⬇️

👀 Scottie wins again…

Scottie Scheffler went to California to prepare for the Ryder Cup and did what he always does: won another golf tournament. The World No. 1 captured his sixth victory of 2025 at the Procore Championship, overtaking teammate Ben Griffin with a final-round 67 for his first win in the Golden State. Scheffler has now won at least six times in consecutive seasons, something only Tiger Woods has accomplished since 1983. His 15th straight top-8 finish included leading the field in birdies and approach shots. ⬇️

🤔 Jon Rahm’s lengthy rules debate

Jon Rahm got into a lengthy rules debate at the BMW PGA Championship after his ball moved when he grounded his club, even using a fan's phone to get a closer look at what happened. The Spaniard argued the ball moved away from his club due to gravity, not contact, but officials still assessed a one-stroke penalty. Rahm responded by draining a 33-foot par putt to escape unscathed, proving that sometimes the best response to a bad break is clutch putting. ⬇️
