Golf Highlights: Charley Hull’s Smoke Break, Nelly Korda in SI Swimsuit Debut, and Bryson DeChambeau’s Campus Move”

In this week’s edition of *The Grind*, we’re diving into the highlights from the golf world, setting aside any election talk to focus on some impressive performances and memorable moments. Charley Hull captured attention with her recent win at the LET’s Aramco Team Series, following her prediction that a win was “just around the corner.”

Not only did she break a two-year winless streak, but due to Saudi Arabia’s smoking laws, she celebrated without her signature cigarette—a welcome change for fans. Meanwhile, Japan’s Rio Takeda dazzled on her home turf, capturing her first LPGA Tour title in a six-hole playoff after an already remarkable season with seven LPGA of Japan wins.

On the lighter side, Bryson DeChambeau showed off his playful side by taking his U.S. Open trophy to an SMU football game, securing his reputation as golf’s “people’s champ.” The PGA Tour is set to resume with the World Wide Technology Championship, while Rory McIlroy eyes another title at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship as he dominates the Race to Dubai standings. Off the green, Nelly Korda hinted at a busy year ahead, with a feature in the next *Sports Illustrated* Swimsuit Issue.

And on the charitable front, Bubba Watson continued to inspire, celebrating a hole-in-one by buying a house for someone in need. From player milestones to charitable acts, golf’s dynamic mix of talent, heart, and humor keeps delivering in all the right ways.
