Hey golf fans,

We guess most of us had seen it coming. Scottie Scheffler heading into the final round with a lead and not winning seemed like an impossible thing. Not only did he prove us right, but he did so by increasing that lead to eight shots. No one caught up to him, and you’ll get to find that out in this edition. Meanwhile, a past winner slipped from top 50 and some golfers were for a wild ride in a course far away.

The gutta-percha golf ball changed the game in the mid-1800s. Made from a rubber-like material derived from tree sap, it was cheaper and more durable than the feather-filled feathery. Golfers soon noticed something else: older, scuffed gutta-percha balls often flew better than smooth ones. Manufacturers began adding patterns and surface textures to reproduce the effect. That discovery helped pave the way for the textured, dimpled golf balls used today.
