Today's Top 5 Mulligans — Mon 5 Oct 2026

Young Tom Kim, the guy who made us all yell "Go Tom!" at the Presidents Cup and is now busy becoming a PGA Tour staple, has pulled off something most ambitious dudes only dream of: getting out of a really annoying national chore.

Alright, golf nuts, gather 'round. It turns out Phil Mickelson isn't just battling the greens and the occasional shank anymore. He’s reportedly traded his driver for a different kind of club – one that’s helping him sort through some serious personal baggage, including addiction and family trauma.

Austin Smotherman has, by virtue of a rather decisive performance, found himself in the winner’s circle at the Bank of Utah Championship. He conducted himself with the sort of calm control you might expect from a philosopher carefully placing the last piece of a grand argument, not some poor sod wrestling with a dimpled ball.

Now, I'm not saying Yuta Suguira's 58 at the Patriot Golf Club was *easy*, but it was the kind of round that makes you question every life choice that led you to a double-bogey on a par-3. The 25-year-old Japanese phenom just waltzed around the Korn Ferry Tour, dropped a 12-under-par masterpiece, and basically rewrote the definition of "good day."

The Zionsville Eagles have once again shown us how you build a dynasty, one utterly dominant performance at a time. They didn't just win the Indiana state championship; they practically lapped the field, securing their third consecutive title with a level of control that would make Julius Caesar nod in approval.
