The 2022 season is underway and we are pumped to see more of the action. Everyone was still talking about Cameron Smith’s record-breaking win at the Tournament of champions last week. He managed to hold of the World No. 1 while also posting the lowest score in PGA Tour history. Not everyone had such a great week though. There were some embarrassing misses and talks of biggest professional regrets.
See what happened in golf this week…
Early Walk-in Putt Goes Horribly Wrong
One of the most boss moves there is has to be the early walk-in putt. To walk toward the cup before the ball has rolled in shows the ultimate display of confidence.

However, this time things don’t go as planned…
Lefty’s 3 Biggest Professional Regrets
Phil Mickelson has enjoyed a long and successful career so far. He and Tiger Woods rose in the ranks together since the 1990’s. Mickelson even took home the PGA Championship win last year at age 50.

That’s what happened to one golfer and there was some back and forth between the ruling on this one. What do you think?
Long Drive Champ Makes First Start in Pro Tournament
For any golfer who finally gets their chance to play in a pro tournament, there is a huge sense of pride in just being able to start. Kyle Berkshire is known for his gigantic bombs and has been dominating long drive competitions for quite some time. He’s even given fellow big bomber, Bryson DeChambeau a run for his money.
