'Beef' back on golf's menu as Andrew Johnston finishes 3rd after injuries and mental-health issues

After injuries and mental-health struggles, Andrew "Beef" Johnston might be back as a force in golf after finishing third at the European Masters won by fellow Englishman Matt Wallace in a playoff. Wallace holed an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to beat Alfredo Garcia-Heredia of Spain in the first playoff hole and win his fifth European tour event. The story of the week might be the re-emergence of Johnston. He is a bearded, larger-than-life entertainer who established himself as one of the biggest characters in the sport in his breakthrough year in 2016 but has plummeted to as low as No. 2,055 in the rankings.

Matt Wallace of England has shot 8-under 62 and is without a bogey after 36 holes in taking a four-stroke lead at the European Masters. The 91st-ranked Wallace won the last of his four European tour titles six years ago. He made five birdies in six holes, including back-to-back chip-ins at Nos. 4 and 5, to close his front nine on Friday. Then he had three birdies in a row from No. 14 at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in the Alps. He is 14 under par overall. That is equal or better than three of the last six winning scores at the event.

Seeking a third victory at the European Masters, Matt Fitzpatrick has been upstaged by his younger brother in a low-scoring first round at Crans-sur-Sierre in the Alps. Alex Fitzpatrick has shot 7-under 63 to be tied for the lead with unheralded Spaniard Alfredo Garcia-Heredia at the European tour event. Alex finished tied for fifth on his debut at Crans-Montana last year. Matt won the tournament in 2017 and 2018 and is looking to become just the fourth player to win it three times. Matt Fitzpatrick shot 66 and was in a six-man group three strokes off the lead.

Golfweek reports there will be a made-for-TV match involving top players from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The manager for world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and five-time major champion Brooks Koepka confirms that Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will take on Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. Among details still to be announced were when in December the match would be held and on which course. But it will be a rare occasion of players from the PGA Tour competing against players who defected for the Saudi riches of LIV Golf in 2022. The only other times they face each other are in the four majors and the Olympics.

Justin Thomas will be missing his first American team since 2016 when the U.S. faces the International team in the Presidents Cup. Jim Furyk on Tuesday filled out the rest of his Presidents Cup roster with six captain's picks. They include Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, along with Max Homa and Brian Harman. Furyk's six picks happened to be the next 12 in the U.S. standings after the six qualifiers. International captain Mike Weir also had some tough choices for the Sept. 27-30 matches at Royal Montreal. He added three Canadians to his team. That meant leaving out Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin. Weir choked up talking about having to make that phone call to them.

Scottie Scheffler finished the year with a 68.01 actual scoring average, the lowest in PGA Tour history. Most references to scoring average is the adjusted version that has been recognized for more than 80 years. That reflects a score compared with the rest of the field that week. But there's something to be gleaned about Scheffler's dominance using the actual scoring average. It was a half-shot lower on average than anyone else. Such a margin is rare. Tiger Woods twice had an actual scoring average of a full shot or more than anyone else during his peak years in golf.

The eight victories are the most since Tiger Woods won eight times in 2006. The FedEx Cup bonus pushed his season earnings to just over $62.2 million.

That was good for a two-shot victory over Thriston Lawrence of South Africa. Rasmus Hojgaard shot a 65 to finish third.

Theegala says he thought he saw a bit of sand move in his peripheral vision. He says he'll sleep better knowing he took a penalty. But he'd sleep better if he the video evidence was clear.
