Golfers on the St. Louis crowd: Spieth: "This has been some of the most fun golf as far as playing in front of fans that I can remember experiencing." Koepka: "There's been quite a few fans this week. It's a good sporting town." Quick: Someone alert Stan Kroenke! #PGAChamp

Spieth to some fans behind the green: “If everybody could do me a huge favor and not video this shot. Thank you. Sometimes it’s cool to actually watch.”

So, the Fox Squirrel on Pinehurst No. 2 clearly saw his shadow today, which means... ...Well, it means nothing. It's always a beautiful day in Pinehurst, and it's time for golf. #GroundhogDay

Technical fouls are usually interesting. But we bet you haven't seen many cooler techs than this solo putback dunk from @NUMensBball's @gavin_skelly. 😅 (And no, the dunk didn't count.)

Gavin Skelly Unique Technical Foul vs. Minnesota.

Northwestern's Gavin Skelly gets the technical foul for hanging on the rim to collect his missed dunk against Minnesota.

Did some more prep for @slso recording of the #Korngold violin concert with @GilShaham and DRob this week. Goosebumps already. I am so in love with this work. I predict a sensational outcome.
