Nineteen feet, four inches. That’s the distance of what was likely Tiger Woods’ last competitive stroke in Australia.
15 Dec 2019
Morri: Numbers don’t lie. But they don’t tell stories, either.
The Presidents Cup scoreboard says Internationals 10, Team USA Eight but that doesn’t scratch the surface of what has unfolded at Royal Melbourne the past three days.

Morri: “Sport does funny things to people and golf is not immune.”
The absurdity of it only becomes clear if you think about it.

Patrick Reed – golf’s Jekyll & Hyde
It’s the wrong use of the right word but polarising might be the only way to describe American Patrick Reed.
12 Dec 2019
Morri: Now for something completely different…golf
Finally, the waiting is over. Tomorrow, we get to see some golf.

MORRI: Hey Mr Sandman
The court of public opinion has delivered its verdict in the Patrick Reed bunker tampering case.

It’s golf season and the stars are in town. That’s good for the game, and important.

Morri: Give it time
You don’t have to look far on social media to find the Presidents Cup naysayers and, frankly, that’s no great surprise.
13 Nov 2019
Morri: Walk or Ride
There are a couple of debates that simmer in golf with no obvious resolution, old faithful topics that can always be drawn on by a golf writer struggling for a column idea.
