Today's Top 5 Mulligans — Tue 6 Oct 2026

Austin Smotherman did the unthinkable, or at least something he called "insane" – he won a PGA Tour event. You have to wonder about the sheer nerve of it, especially since this whole shebang hinged on his 100th start being the one where he finally got it done.

Jeeno Thitikul apparently decided a three-shot lead was just a friendly suggestion, not a mandate, for the final round of the LOTTE Championship. She’d spent three days making Hoakalei Country Club look as easy as a Sunday stroll through a perfectly manicured botanical garden.

Right then, it's official. Great Britain & Ireland has wrestled the Llandudno International Trophy from the clutches of Uncle Sam. For the first time since the distant year of 2017, and only the eighth time in the entire history of this thing, GB&I finally stomped all over the United States, bagging the 32nd PGA Cup with a rather convincing 16.5-9.5 trouncing at The K Club.

Alright, buckle up, golf nerds! Suzann Pettersen, a woman whose name echoes with major championships and Solheim Cup thrashings of the Yanks, is apparently bored. After a four-year break – a period I assume involved perfecting her imaginary short game or maybe running a secret golf cartel from a volcano lair – she’s decided to trade the armchair for the fairway, and South Korea is her chosen battlefield.

So, Tom Kim, bless his perpetually enthusiastic heart, went and bagged himself a gold medal at the Asian Games. Turns out, this wasn't just about national pride or, you know, winning. It was apparently about dodging the South Korean military.
