Course management? He doesn’t subscribe to that.
Golf Twitter told me I needed to check out this Hosung Choi fellow, so I tuned into the Korea Open, and the first thing I saw was Choi hitting a fairway wood out of rough with his feet in a bunker. Clearly something special is happening here. pic.twitter.com/ofErAsDH1e
