Is she banned or isn’t she? it depends on who you ask. A report said Jordon Hudson — Bill Belichick’s publicist girlfriend — is persona non grata in North Carolina’s football facility and on its practice field. UNC, however, shot that down with a press release on May 9 that read:“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities.

MYRTLE BEACH — The money and the glory isn’t at the Grand Strand this week. Or at least not as much of either is here. What’s going to be doled out on Sunday at the Truist Championship ($20 million purse) dwarfs the payday for the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic ($4 million). There’s also the juice from winning a limited-field, no-cut Signature Event as opposed to the tournaments that run parallel to them.

MYRTLE BEACH — Bill Murray was all over the place, randomly popping up the way Bill Murray does. Kurt Russell was also at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club on Wednesday. Oh, Kevin Costner played here, too. “Yeah, I saw a lot of 50-and-60-year-old ladies out there watching Kevin Costner,” Darren Nelson, the tournament director of the ONEFlight Myrtle Beach Classic, said. Yes, he did. Costner’s gallery for the pro-am was the largest on a day when folks came to see a little golf and a lot of celebrities.

JAMES ISLAND — Ashley Walters Cohen has trained for months, yet she's unsure of what to expect after stepping between the ropes. Certainly not when it’s for real. After all, it’s one thing to prep in controlled conditions, pursuing proper technique under the watchful eyes of veteran coaches. It’s an entirely different deal when the primary goal is to pummel your opponent while avoiding a pummeling yourself. “I’m nervous, I’m excited,” Walters Cohen said.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — Brian Campbell, a resident of nearby Bluffton, finally made his way to Harbour Town. It took him more than two years after arriving in the Lowcountry from Irvine, Calif., before he eventually squeezed in a round on Hilton Head’s signature course. Oh, and he proceeded to shoot a 5-under-par 66 to tie for fourth after the RBC Heritage’s first round on Thursday. No big deal, right?

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — The lighthouse is older than just about everything it surveys except the ancient trees that permeate this place. Everything, that is, other than the golf course. They were both born in 1969. Legend has it the lighthouse’s iconic, candy stripe design was still drying when the RBC Heritage debuted that year at Harbour Town Golf Links.

AUGUSTA — The roars — his roars — echoed toward Aiken. They might’ve actually reached their destination on a sunny Sunday, too. On a day with so many monumental moments — when flurries of action made each stroke seem to carry weighty consequences — history was secured on April 13. It was a twofer with Rory McIlroy finally and firmly securing a pair of giant accomplishments with one big swoop. And it’s so fitting it took him an extra hole given how long the journey has been. But what now?

AUGUSTA — It’s like that, huh? So now Rory McIlroy wants to talk. He didn’t make a beeline to the practice range or head to the parking lot, slam his trunk and hit Washington Road in a huff on April 11. McIlroy instead ambled over to Augusta National’s palatial media center to discuss his second round in this year’s Masters. McIlroy was thoughtful and confident. Oh, how things can change from one day to the next when you’re paid big bucks to hit a tiny ball for a living.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Oh, what the Højgaard boys – 24-year-old twins Nicolai and Rasmus – must talk about late into the night. They don’t know what they don’t know. Likewise for Ludvig Aberg and all the other young twentysomethings teeing it up at the Masters this week. There has been no real trauma for any of them here. It’s not a bad way to go through life. Especially if you’re professional golfers trying to make your way around Augusta National while still in the nascent stages of careers.
