You could say that Homer, Neb., is a blink-and-you-miss-it town, except that it isn’t even a town. It’s a village with a population of some 500 people, tucked away in the northeast corner of the state. Out of sight, out of mind. And yet legions of golfers can locate it on a map.

On Sunday afternoon, as Rory McIlroy scripted another wild chapter in his major-championship record, an avid golf fan, watching from his couch in Virginia, realized that he should do some writing of his own.

However Rory McIlroy slept on Saturday night, his early Sunday afternoon was a waking nightmare. After a third-round 66 that put him on the brink of history, two shots in the lead and a Masters win removed from the career grand slam, McIlroy had said all the right things. He would stay within himself in what was sure to be a nervy final round. He would remain inside a bubble of his own making as he played alongside Bryson DeChambeau, the man who’d torn his heart out at last year’s U.S. Open.

The start of Masters week seemed like a good time to revisit the story of the unlikely rise--and tragic fall--of the amateur golfer Jeff Thomas, who competed at Augusta in '94 and died 10 years later in a tumbledown motel near the club where he caddied. https://t.co/5BBG8mtjee
Played with the great Boo Weekley this past week at the Punta Mita Invitational, and though I didn't get a swing tip, I learned something more important: how to imitate a baby alligator. #puntamita #puntamitainvitational https://t.co/Otp8ZjT6An
