The 18: Justin Thomas wins the PGA Championship

The 18 is a look at eighteen stories from the previous week or so in the world of golf, and they will usually be on stories that I didn’t dedicate a full post towards. Expect a combination of thoughts, GIFs, images and anything else that caught my eye from the past seven days. Some will be longer thoughts, and others will be no more than a line or two.
The 18 will (hopefully) run every Tuesday. You can catch up on previous versions of The 18 right here.

Jordan Spieth is the 2017 Champion Golfer of the Year
Posted on July 24, 2017 1 Comment
I have written, tweaked and deleted this opening paragraph several times since the end of the 2017 Open Championship. Not because I thought what I wrote was bad, and not because it had mistakes that needed correcting. It just didn’t feel like any of it was good enough at capturing the magnitude of Jordan Spieth’s third major win; I felt like my words had to live up to what I had just seen unfold before my eyes. That’s what watching Spieth does to you. Trying to find the right words to continually describe his greatness has become an increasingly difficult task, especially with how it all unfolded on Sunday at Royal Birkdale. As Ben Coley said, how do you describe the indescribable?
Best winning storylines for the 2017 Open Championship
Posted on July 19, 2017 Leave a Comment
It’s a well documented fact that golf is on a run of first time major winners. Since Zach Johnson’s triumph in a playoff at the 2015 Open Championship, seven different players have taken home a major title for the first time, from long awaited winners like Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson to young thoroughbreds like Brooks Koepka, and the crazy thing is that it’s very easy to see this trend continue for the next year or so without even batting an eye.
Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and many more could win a major and it wouldn’t shock anyone. Those four players are all vying for the Open this week at Royal Birkdale, and would all provide a tremendous storyline if they were able to come out on top. That’s the point of this post: who would provide the best winning storyline if they were able to capture the Claret Jug this week? Here’s my top ten.
Note: The caveat here is that I’m only listing players that I think have a legitimate chance to win the tournament, so as much as Mark O’Meara winning would be amazing, he won’t be here.
