Twitter Exchange of the Day
James Hahn attempted to stand up for Si Woo Kim when he thought ESPN was ignoring him. Turned out Kim was not being ignored, but there’s still some confusion.
Nice article, but you forgot Si Woo Kim. Rookie, Wyndham Champ, currently 18th in FedEx Cup. https://t.co/ftE4PH49jr
— James Hahn (@JamesHahnPGA) September 7, 2016
he made 8 starts in 2013. 7 MCs and a WD after one round in Puerto Rico. It's definitely a weird rule.

Did you ask the Tour? 7 events in 2013 does not qualify for full rookie year. Cut off is 8 as stated in article. https://t.co/tBET8t5DyM

just relaying Tour's decision. They haven't counted him as a rookie all season & official media guide says rookie year = 2013.
— Will Gray (@WillGrayGC) September 7, 2016
According to your rookie definition, Si Woo Kim is a rookie this year. Did not play 10 events in 2013 to qualify. https://t.co/2jUJqT7kTQ

Roberto Castro had a funny thought this morning.
A groggy morning NPR drive can quickly turn into a max volume Jack White drive with the right cup of coffee.

Versatile
A group of Tour caddies and some players (Bill Haas, Bubba Watson) put together a basketball game at the Indiana gym where the movie Hoosiers was filmed.
Great evening at the Gym as several @PGATOUR caddies enjoyed playing hoops. @BHaasGolf drained a few jumpers as well pic.twitter.com/1OE76aXXCB
