Korda to lead Team USA golf for Paris Games

Nelly Korda will lead Team USA in the golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the United States Golf Association (USGA) announced on Tuesday.

Korda, the world’s No. 2-ranked player, is a major champion and has won four times on the LPGA Tour this season. She will be joined on the team by Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda, and Mina Harigae.

The USGA also announced that Davis Love III will captain the men’s team in Paris. Love, a two-time major champion, has been a successful captain in the past, leading the Americans to victory in the 2016 Ryder Cup.

Rory, Rickie, Phil and a trophy fumble. Remembering Valhalla, 10 years later

At Valhalla, the 2010 PGA Championship turned into a dramatic clash of titans. Rory McIlroy, fresh off a dominating win at Congressional, was poised to claim another major. But it was Rickie Fowler who stole the early spotlight, grabbing a seven-shot second-round lead. In the final round, Phil Mickelson’s charge fell just short, leaving the door open for McIlroy and Fowler. The tournament came down to the final two holes, with McIlroy ultimately hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy. However, the celebration took an unexpected turn when McIlroy fumbled the trophy on the 18th green.

**From the archives: A Q&A with Peter Oosterhuis, the hardest-working man in golf broadcasting**

Peter Oosterhuis, the longtime CBS golf analyst who passed away at 75, was known for his in-depth knowledge of the game and his ability to connect with viewers. In a 2017 interview with Golf Digest, Oosterhuis discussed his work ethic and how he prepared for his broadcasts.

“To be honest, I spend a lot of time watching golf,” Oosterhuis said. “I watch the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the LPGA Tour, as well as the Korn Ferry Tour and the Symetra Tour, and I read everything I can get my hands on about golf. I also talk to a lot of players, caddies, and coaches to get their insights on the game.”

Oosterhuis said that he also spends a lot of time preparing for his broadcasts. “I like to have a good understanding of the course we’re playing and the players in the field,” he said. “I want to be able to give viewers information and insights that they can’t get anywhere else.”

The Ryder Cup is behind schedule in more ways than one | Tuesday Takes

Despite a valiant effort, the United States fell one point short of securing the Ryder Cup trophy on home soil. As the dust settles on Whistling Straits, it’s clear that Team USA has plenty of work to do if they want to reclaim the Cup in Italy next year.

Team USA struggled with consistency throughout the week, particularly in their putting. The Americans also found themselves outmatched in the foursomes and four-ball formats, where they were unable to generate enough momentum to overcome a strong European team.

While the outcome was disappointing, there were some bright spots for the United States. Collin Morikawa and Dustin Johnson both had impressive performances, and Scottie Scheffler showed signs of his growing talent. If Team USA can build on these performances and address their weaknesses, they have the potential to be a force to be reckoned with in 2023.
