What happened in golf in the last 24 hours. Every story has its video; tap to play it here.
BMW PGA Championship, Wentworth, England, final round
Left off the U.S. Presidents Cup team, J.J. Spaun birdied four of his last five holes for a 67 and won by two at 17 under, ahead of Manuel Elvira, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Aaron Rai. I played with a huge chip on my shoulder, he said.

Biltmore Championship Asheville, final round, The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, N.C.
Jacob Bridgeman, 26, from Inman, S.C., an hour down the road, made eight birdies and an eagle for a career low 61 and won by two at 26 under, in front of his parents. Ben James also shot 61 for second. Neal Shipley, the 54 hole leader, shot 69 and tied third.

Gabby Golf Girl, Random Golfer Series, Palm Beach National, West Palm Beach
She walked the range at Palm Beach National looking for the best player she could find, picked a guy in full Vineyard Vines, gave him the whole pitch, and he said: it's Wiley, do you remember me? She had already played him on the channel. Her most embarrassing episode, she says.

Biltmore Championship Asheville, final round
J.T. Poston stood over a 25 footer on his last hole for the Tour's rarest number and missed. A career low 60 anyway, on a rain softened course where the winner shot 61 and the runner up shot 61.

Creator of the day
The forgotten tee height trick a golfing legend taught him, which he then ignored for two years. Simple driver set up: where the ball sits on the tee changes strike, launch and spin. A UK coach who keeps lessons short and free. Worth a follow.
Is your game even ready to break 90? Matt's check yourself test before you chase the number.
Spaun won the BMW PGA, then did not hold back about being left off the Presidents Cup team. A Short.
Adam Scott letting the clubs do the talking at Wentworth, where he finished two back. A Short from inside the ropes.
The real secret to lower scores, in a Short. Golf's a little bit like, he starts, and the rest is the video.
Zach Johnson shot 65 at a foggy Pebble Beach to win the Pure Insurance Championship by two, his second straight week and his sixth win in 15 starts as a PGA Tour Champions rookie. Henrik Stenson, Steven Alker and Rory Sabbatini tied second.
Sandy Scott, 28, tore ligaments in his wrist in 2020, had two surgeries and did not play for 17 months. On Sunday he shot 65 in Columbus, Ohio, won his first Korn Ferry Tour title by one and clinched a PGA Tour card.
Manuel Elvira holed a 9 footer for eagle at 17 to tie the lead, laid up from 254 yards at the last and made double. Rory McIlroy drove into a bunker at 18 and missed an 8 footer. Wish I had some of those putts back, he said.
Ben James birdied three of his last four holes for a 61 of his own and finished second, two behind Bridgeman, whose first win was the Genesis in February, holding off Rory McIlroy. He is the sixth player to win twice on Tour this year.
The same stories as a nine-slide post, first thing, seven days a week.
