It's been a full year since we first told you about 92-year-old gymnast Johanna Quaas, the small-in-stature but larger-than-life gymnast from Germany. At an age when getting dressed or loading up into a car can be tiring, Quaas is still doing cartwheels, headstands, and working the parallel bars better than most people in their 30s. She's the oldest competitive gymnast [...]
If tragedy strikes in the great state of Texas, it's fair to say that J.J. Watt steps up as quickly as emergency responders. Over the weekend, the Houston Texans star announced he would cover the cost of the funeral services for all 10 victims (eight students and two teachers) of the mass shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas. [...]
Think the pressure is only on PGA TOUR pros at the first tee box? Think again. The starters who announce the golfers' names and hometowns carry a certain load up there, too. David Watson, along with a handful of fellow red pant-wearing members of the Salesmansip Club of Dallas, shoulders some of that responsibility at the AT&T Byron Nelson each [...]
Sometimes, perfection takes time. Ben Bender first picked up a golf club at 28 years old. Sixty-five years later, he drained his very first hole-in-one, and then eloquently closed the chapter on his playing days. The 93-year-old, who has hip bursitis, pulled out his 5-wood and saw the ball fall into the cup on the third hole at Green Valley [...]
A PGA TOUR pro has a caddie to watch his back out there on the golf course. But who do the spectators have? At the 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson, they have Rodney Fuller and Leslie Lewis, the dynamic duo that head the tournament's First Aid Committee. When not dedicating hundreds of hours to recruiting, planning and organizing the Byron Nelson's [...]
Day one of the 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson brought out the crowds, the curiosity seekers and the heat, as PGA TOUR players battled it out at the tournament’s new home, Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas. The course brought out the best in a lot of players—including a mind-blowing, 10-under 61 from Marc Leishman. With a first-round leaderboard that [...]
Jake Olson may be blind, but he proves time and time again that anything is possible. The 21-year-old long snapper for USC hit the headlines again on Thursday after he got behind the wheel and drove a race car around Charlotte Motor Speedway. With the help of former NASCAR driver Todd Bodine, Olson went for a spin around the 1.5-mile [...]
"Stepping up to the first tee box, we have LaWanna Viers, out of the Air Force, and service dog Corey, out of a high-kill shelter in North Carolina." Those weren't the exact words from the starter at the 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson in Dallas, Texas, but the military veteran and her service canine certainly did receive a warm welcome at [...]
You ask most golfers about the best thing to come out of a big PGA TOUR win and they talk about the impact on their careers, their confidence or the pressure of keeping the upward trajectory going. You ask Billy Horschel about the best thing that came out of winning the AT&T Byron Nelson last year, and you get a [...]
If you’re a golf lover, chances are you log some TV time watching the pros compete. You know Amen Corner, The Bear Trap, The Green Mile—and the perils of the more classic courses on the PGA TOUR. But, now that the AT&T Byron Nelson has moved from the well-manicured, tree-lined Four Seasons Resort and Club in Las Colinas to the [...]
