Video Flashback: The Turtle Dive!

/

I saw a turtle sauntering across the 16th fairway yesterday and couldn't help but think of one of my favorite Players moments.

For my new friends from Minnesota and Dallas dining at the always outstanding Palm Valley Fish Camp, here for their first Players, here's my original turtle dive post with NBC's stellar Dan Hicks-anchored play by play, circa 2011, or the YouTube video of Sky's coverage with Jean Van de Velde.

Either way, it never gets old...

Adam On Moving The Putter A Millimeter Away, Putting On The Green Jacket Every Day

/

Jim Tucker focuses on Adam Scott's new morning routine at home of waking up and putting on the green jacket.

Bob Harig on Scott's first press conference since the Masters, where the Masters champ budged a bit on anchoring in the future. A few millimeters to be exact.

In the interest of context, Scott's anchoring remarks in their entirety:

Q.  Are you going to be relieved in any way when the USGA and R&A make their final decision on anchoring maybe just to get the debate out of the way?  And if they do ban it and the TOUR goes along with it, do you have a backup plan for three years down the road to working a conventional putting method into your practice?

ADAM SCOTT:  I think, yeah, I think I'll be relieved when it's all over and we can all get beyond it.  I may or may not like the outcome of that, but I think we've all spent enough energy on it now, doing what they're doing.

No, I don't really have a backup plan.  I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and deal with it then.  I don't think there will be anything much for me to change.  If I have to separate the putter a millimeter from my chest, then I'll do that.

Q.  Will three years be enough time to prepare?

ADAM SCOTT:  Yeah, tomorrow is enough time for me.  I don't see myself putting any different looks‑wise.  My hand will be slightly off my chest, probably.

Good Luck: Garrigus Intends To Try A First Tee Joke On Vijay

/

Stephanie Wei quotes the likes of Matt Every, Jason Day, Justin Rose, David Lynn and Robert Garrigus on Vijay's situation and lawsuit and they aren't overly supportive of Singh.

Including first and second round Singh playing partner Garrigus kind of supported Singh by saying that the PGA Tour has"created a situation where one guy gets busted for recreational drugs and then one guy doesn’t get busted  for performance-enhancing drugs, which is messed up."

That probably won't make Vijay laugh--what does--but Garrigus is still going to try to deliver some humor to Thursday's 2 pm ET proceedings.

He’s focused on trying to win a golf tournament, but Garrigus, who is friendly and gregarious, said he’ll probably make a joke out of it with Singh on the first tee on Thursday to keep things light.

“I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of security guards with our group (the next two days),” he said.

That's Our Vijay: Files Suit Against PGA Tour!

/

He's becoming the gift that keeps on giving!

USA Today with the first details of Vijay Singh's suit against the tour over his deer antler spray doping policy violation, which earned a "no comment" from the tour.

The Tour, the lawsuit says, could have known by conducting some basic testing and research, the product that Singh sprayed contained no active biological ingredient and could not possibly have provided any performance enhancement.

"The PGA Tour has now finally admitted that the use of deer antler spray is not prohibited," the suit claims. "Rather than performing its duties to golfers first, and then determining whether there had been any violation of the Anti-Doping Program, the PGA Tour rushed to judgment and accused one of the world's hardest working and most dedicated golfers of violating the rules of the game."
