Mickelson’s meltdown

“Look, I don’t mean disrespect to anybody. I know it’s a two-shot penalty. At that time, I just didn’t feel like going back and forth. It’s my understanding of the rules. I’ve had multiple times where I’ve wanted to do that, I just finally did. If somebody’s offended by that, I apologize. But toughen up.” — Phil Mickelson after knowingly breaking the Rules of Golf in wild scene at Shinnicock at the U.S. Open.

Ryder Cup controversy

“The issue’s obviously with Jordan (Spieth) not wanting to play with me. I don’t have any issue with Jordan. When it comes right down to it, I don’t care if I like the person I’m paired with or if the person likes me as long as it works and it sets up the team for success. He and I know how to make each other better. We know how to get the job done. … For somebody as successful in the Ryder Cup as I am, I don’t think it’s smart to sit me twice.” — Patrick Reed after a disappointing week in Paris for Team USA and the Americans at the 2018 Ryder Cup.

The Mad Scientist is mad confusing

“How much better can I get? Oh, man, in short, layman’s terms, yes, absolutely, you can always get better. How much? I would say it depends on what I can do in the restrictions of my biomechanics. So it’s all about air, air tolerances and being able to be more sensitive — less sensitive to air. So that when you do feel like you mess up it’s not going to be that big of a mess up. I hope that makes sense.” — Bryson DeChambeau after winning the Dell Technologies Championship. No, Bryson, it doesn’t make any sense. At all.
