Playing for his late friend, Hughes turns his season around

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Whenever Mackenzie Hughes looked down at the initials on his golf ball, he remembered how lucky he is to play golf for living. The “DM� on his ball was for his friend, Daniel Meggs, who passed away last week after a battle with colon cancer. Meggs was just 29 years old and died weeks before his wife was due to give birth to their first child, a son. Meggs played golf at Wake Forest. His battle with cancer made headlines last year after Tiger Woods sent him an inspirational video message from the Masters. Hughes’ eyes began to water as he closed Sunday’s press conference by talking about his friend. Related: Final leaderboard | Slow and steady, Im withstands pressure “I just want to tell Daniel, who’s up in a better place now, and his family, that I’m really thinking about them,� Hughes said. “Daniel was an incredible human being. I always play for myself, but I looked down at my ball every now and then and just reminded myself that it’s a blessing to be able to have another round of golf, to continue playing this great game and I know what he wouldn’t give for another chance to play a round of golf or to be with his family.� Hughes almost became the first player since Brandt Snedeker at the 2016 Farmers Insurance Open to win after making the cut on the number. He shot consecutive 66s on the weekend after shooting 3-over-par on the first 36 holes. He finished one shot behind winner Sungjae Im. Hughes’ 66 matched the low score in Sunday’s final round of The Honda Classic. Hughes briefly tied the lead after holing a 54-foot birdie putt on 17, but Im regained a one-shot lead by making an 8-foot putt of his own. Hughes had a chance to go for the 18th green in two, but badly hooked his fairway wood into the grandstands and could only make par. Hughes’ weekend total of 132 was three shots lower than anyone else in the field. Hughes, winner of the 2016 RSM Classic, had struggled this season, missing 9 of 11 cuts. He’d earned just 10 FedExCup points before this week. His college coach at Kent State, Herb Page, texted Hughes on Friday night saying, “The hard part is over.� “It kind of loosened me up a little bit and I said, ‘Let’s just go out there and play golf and see what happens,’� Hughes said. He turned around his season while playing for his late friend.

Round 2 Featured Group bets available at Genesis Scottish OpenRound 2 Featured Group bets available at Genesis Scottish Open

The golf betting community got a real taste of how weather can affect events throughout the United Kingdom during an interesting first round of the Genesis Scottish Open in North Berwick, Scotland. The wind picked up during the afternoon at The Renaissance Club, leading to much higher scores for half of the field as the morning wave posted a scoring average of 70.39, compared to 73.60 for the afternoon. This was frustrating for some players but also for many in the golf betting community. Of the 38 rounds under par Thursday, 32 came in the morning wave. Cameron Tringale took advantage of the scoring conditions early and fired a 9-under 61 to take a three-shot lead into the second round. But the beauty of golf betting is one doesn’t need to wait long for a new opportunity to right any wrongs, weather induced or not. Instead of waiting until the tournament ends on Sunday, there are a few betting opportunities at the BetMGM online sportsbook for Friday’s second round. One of those is 3-ball betting, i.e., which golfer within a threesome will have the lowest score for the round. As all three in any given wager face the same conditions, you can rest assured no unforeseen advantage can be gained by one player over the other. Here’s a look at 3-ball betting within the featured groups that you can also watch, and cheer on your choices, here. Matt Fitzpatrick (+165) / Collin Morikawa (+175) / Will Zalatoris (+190) – 3:05 a.m. ET Playing in the wilder winds Fitzpatrick (+1) lost ground in Strokes Gained: Approach, which is unusual for him, in the opening round. The U.S. Open champ is 22nd this year on the PGA TOUR for that metric. Interestingly his second-round scoring average is his worst this season at 70.21. The other three are all sub-70. The 25-year-old Morikawa (+1) gained two strokes against the field putting Thursday, which goes against his norm. He entered the week 86th on the PGA TOUR in Strokes Gained: Putting. He’s 97th in second-round scoring, with a scoring average of 70.5. Zalatoris (+1) was 1-under over his last five holes Thursday, so he will look to carry that into the second round. He has excelled in second rounds this season; his 69.5 scoring average ranks 19th on TOUR. Justin Thomas (+130) / Hideki Matsuyama (+190) / Tommy Fleetwood (+220) – 3:15 a.m. ET Thomas (+3) lost just over two strokes to the field on the greens Thursday, which is unusual for the PGA Championship winner. For the year, Thomas has the best scoring average in second rounds on the PGA TOUR (67.67). Matsuyama (+3) struggled with his putting in round one, losing 1.4 strokes to the field. This is somewhat normal for him this year; he’s 126th in Strokes Gained: Putting. One thing to note with Fleetwood (+3) is he’s had some issues in second rounds this year. His 70.54 scoring average ranks 103rd. Jon Rahm (+125) / Scottie Scheffler (+165) / Viktor Hovland (+275) – 8:15 a.m. ET Rahm’s (-2) success Thursday was aided by his putter. He gained just over 3.5 strokes against the field. He ranks 60th this season in Strokes Gained: Putting, but his 69.31 second round scoring average ranks ninth. It was a tough day for Scheffler (+3) on Thursday as the No. 1 ranked player in the world did not take advantage of the better scoring conditions. His scoring average of 69 is fifth on TOUR in second rounds. Like Scheffler, Hovland (+4) didn’t take advantage of playing in the morning wave. He lost just under three strokes putting, which is unusual considering he’s ranked 28th this season in Strokes Gained: Putting. Cameron Smith (+160) / Jordan Spieth (+170) / Tyrrell Hatton (+200) – 8:25 a.m. ET Smith (-2) got off to a good start despite losing strokes to the field in Strokes Gained: Approach. This isn’t the norm for him; he’s second in that category this year on TOUR. Spieth (-2) ranked sixth in the field in Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green. This doesn’t come as a major surprise, considering he’s ranked 23rd this year on TOUR. Second rounds have been kind to Hatton (-2) this year. He enters the week with a 69.42 second round scoring average, 14th on the PGA TOUR. He shot under par Thursday while losing strokes to the field in Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green. * Visit BetMGM.com for terms and conditions. 21+ years of age or older to wager.

Jon Rahm now No. 1 on FedExCup after win in desertJon Rahm now No. 1 on FedExCup after win in desert

LA QUINTA, Calif. - Jon Rahm has been a near-unstoppable force in recent months. His victory at The American Express is his fourth win in five official starts worldwide, including the Sentry Tournament of Champions two weeks ago, a dramatic rally from six strokes back with seven holes to play on Maui. This week, Rahm needed no such heroics. He shared the 54-hole lead with TOUR rookie Davis Thompson and carded a final-round, 4-under 68 at PGA West's Stadium Course to edge Thompson for a one-stroke victory at 27 under. Rahm's ultimate edge came via a 9-foot birdie at the par-5 16th hole Sunday; Thompson made par, and both players parred out. The victory propels Rahm to the No. 1 spot on the season-long FedExCup standings, 500 points accrued for his victory in the Coachella Valley. "You're seeing now, let's say, the fruits of all the labor I've put in," Rahm said Sunday evening at The American Express. "I felt like I was swinging really well last year; the results were just not happening. And they're coming in a bunch right now." Rahm began the week at No. 4 on the FedExCup, trailing Seamus Power, Max Homa and Tom Kim respectively. Kim moves to No. 2 following a T6 finish at The American Express, followed by Power, Homa and Brian Harman to round out the top five. Kim was on-hand to provide congratulations to Rahm following a closing par for a one-stroke win in the California desert. Rahm leads the FedExCup having made just three official TOUR starts in 2022-23. He finished T4 at THE CJ CUP in South Carolina in October, followed by back-to-back victories this month in Hawaii and California. He also won the Spanish Open and DP World Tour Championship last fall as part of this torrid stretch. Rahm has yet to win a FedExCup, but it's not for a lack of close calls. Three times, he has finished top-five on the TOUR's season-long race, highlighted by a runner-up showing in 2021. Suffice to say, he's quickly becoming a favorite for this year's season-long crown.
