My quick turnaround analysis both on Substack and yesterday on MS Now more or less as the story broke. Grateful for reposts, mostly because the ban is too outrageous to get lost in the deluge. jamessample.substack.com/p/b…

The Missouri mess; a Virginia analogy; the unconstitutional, impracticable USPS ballot scheme; plus SCOTUS as Supreme enabler … all in [a sped up] 1:24.

The Met Open leaderboard has us thinking back to 2020, when Cole Ekert was on the bag for Luke Sample's Met Open win at Mountain Ridge! Ekert held the overnight lead (-6/65) and tees off at 8:03 a.m. and Sample sits T2 (-5/66) with his second round starting at 12:47 p.m.
