  • The LPGA's Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G Sunday finish included low rounds of 60 and 61, and an electric two hole playoff.
  • Alex was fully entrenched in the Austin East Side Mini Open again this weekend, where he judged the bar crawl mini golf holes for the second year. Check out his videos on Instagram.
