From a stunning comeback on the PGA Tour to a social media knockout, The Grind has the entire week in golf covered.

Then there was [the letter of recommendation](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/will-zalatoris-tom-kim-letter-dallas-national) Will Zalatoris penned for the young(er) man to help him get into Dallas National Golf Club. [the biggest blown lead in PGA Tour history](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/collin-morikawa-joins-these-players-to-blow-six-shot-lead-on-the-pga-tour) and even worse, if you count the 2021 Hero World Challenge, where he held a five-shot lead entering the final round but couldn't close out the win, the 25-year-old has already blown big leads twice. More amazing is that it had been 53(!) years since Ben Hogan had established the record. [funny story he told](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tom-kim-hilarious-childhood-story-first-interaction-with-tiger-woods) involving a 6-year-old Tom, Tiger Woods and a porta-potty. [writing last week](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-holiday-spirit-2023-golf-major-championship-predictions-masters-mix-up-the-grind) that this guy was going to have a monster season (I know, really going out on a limb). On the surface, that seems to be sound logic, but clearly, the OWGR went a bit overboard with that. As if you needed another reminder that there are people lucky enough to be paid to play golf in Hawaii during the winter. [With the win](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/jon-rahm-sentry-tournament-of-champions-dramatic-comeback), Rahm earned a tidy $2.7 million. Collin Morikawa’s putting: We will get to Morikawa’s tough Sunday in a bit, but first, the positive. And even with the birdies not falling as much on Sunday, Morikawa finished the week ranked No. Welcome to another edition of the Grind, where we want to thank the University of Georgia football team for allowing me to get a full night’s sleep on Monday.
