Winner’s Bag: Collin Morikawa, Workday Charity Open

The general framework had been outlined for a Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson prime-time match, although the inner workings continue to be a work in progress. Luckily for the two Hall of Famers, the reigning Masters champ is here to help. Patrick Reed, playing in this week’s Scottish Open at Gullane, was asked about the much-hyped (and still speculative) battle, and Captain America echoed a sentiment fans and media have on the reported $10 million payout: Woods and Mickelson should front the payout.

Koepka’s play has done plenty of talking this season with a win at the PGA Championship and runner-up at the Masters. The 29-year-old has also done plenty of talking behind the mic, taking slow play and Golf Channel commentator Brandel Chamblee to task on multiple occassions. On Tuesday at Pebble Beach, Koepka continued to hold nothing back, calling out FOX Sports and his fellow players, with a between-the-lines slight at Chamblee tossed in for good measure: Regarding FOX Sports, which left Koepka—the No.

Brooks Koepka has improved his chances of taking over as No. 1 golfer in the world, shooting a bogey-free 5-under 67 Saturday for a four-stroke lead after three rounds of the CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. Ian Poulter, who shot 68 Saturday, was tied for second place with second-round leader Scott Piercy, who had a 72. The 28-year-old Koepka, who trailed by one stroke after two rounds, will move to the top of the world rankings if he wins the tournament and former No. 1 Justin Thomas, the defending champion here, does not finish any better than second.
