@fried_egg_golf Still trying to understand the path the ball took to that spot in the bunker. If there was ever a time for the shot tracer…

Here's what Rory McIlroy was looking at with his approach shot on 18. Image courtesy of our very own, Cameron Hurdus.

@jamierkennedy Awesome insights. Thanks for sharing!

Observations from Sunday at Augusta... 1. Wow. Just watched every shot of Rory's back nine in person. The slow walk, the steel, just incredible poise throughout. Maybe experience does matter after all. 2. The shot on 12 will live on for a long time. Wind was up, changed on him, he backed off then committed. Controlled swing, perfect flight and the best shot of the day. That two won him the tournament. Credit also to Harry in that moment for reading the wind right. He didn't just back away, he stepped forward when Rory backed off and was clear in his direction. 3. Last year with the lead, he started with a double. This year, tied, he actively changed his approach. Had hit driver in 13 straight rounds, but hit 3-wood, iron over the pin, easy par. Slipped up later but felt like a key start. Especially after his Saturday round. 4. Amen corner on Sunday is an amazing place. The red mist of the pine straw dust in the air, the echo of the cheers, the way the holes wrap around. The sun and shadows coming through the trees. Special. 5. It's amazing how easily you can see the action. I had no access or special pass and walked the last 10 holes with the final group and saw every single shot, pretty easily. The flow of the course is really easy to navigate. 6. Felt for the kid in front of me on 13 that sneezed and caused Rory to back off his second shot. Glad for him Rory hit the back edge. 7. The communal confusion and commentary of the leaderboard and scores is hilarious. Everyone looking around, whispering about birdies, bogeys, ball positions etc. Honestly makes the crowd feel more connected. 8. The silence as Rory addressed his putt on 16 was stark. Other than the drone, 5-10k people all hushing at once and locked in on one shot and one player. 9. Rory is the greatest European golfer ever. I'm sorry to Seve (and Faldo if you are so inclined) but it's true. Tied Faldo with 6 majors and, honestly, he's not done (Augusta, Pebble and St Andrews next year 👀).

@KylePorterNS @OGIO Cameron Young is my pick because he was a dog at the Ryder Cup and then stepped up to the tee on the 18th at the PLAYERS and took the championship. Just seems like this is the time.

@griffin_beers2 Thank you for the coverage of OU hoops. You do a great job. I take it there was no presser tonight?

Year 3 was a wild ride. Thanks for following, excited and thankful to be trying to make this job happen. See y’all in portal season Oakland twitter

@nealruhl The combination of thinking outside the box and not caring what people think, but then also being willing to give honest insights into the rationale, Kampe is 1 of 1. Oakland is so very lucky.

@nealruhl You are spot on, Neal. But what makes it ever more special is he is always an open book to explain why he does certain things the way he does. Like the no rebounders when his team shoots free throws. It befuddles people, but there is a logic to it.

I really don’t see any other coaches, anywhere in the nation that use fouls, media timeouts, & four wide receiver inbound plays the way @KampeOU does every game.. he’s one of the greatest coaches in the history of college basketball.. he sees things your favorite coach does not.. it’s really dumb that no power five Schools have ever hired him.. but I’m really glad they didn’t… he’s a Hall of Famer.. I’ll fight anyone that says differently.. tell me I’m wrong 🤷‍♂️

@OaklandMBB Coach, Sergei’s #91 was retired last night and said he wish he’d never have left the Wings. In this age of the portal, have you ever had a former player express that privately to you? #WhyLeaveOU?

Come out and meet our boy, Khoi❕❕ Khoi Thurmon will join head coach Greg Kampe and Neal Ruhl for the Greg Kampe Radio Show tonight at 6pm at Patti Finnegan’s! #UnleashTheGrizz

@OaklandMBB #AskKampe Noticed this year’s LCA game was not an OU home game (our intros, PA announcer, band, etc) as in the past. Was that change brought on by LCA, MSU, or other?

The Greg Kampe Show from 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧🇦🇺🐨🦘 Buru Naivalurua will join Greg Kampe and Neal Ruhl tonight at 6 p.m. from Patti Finnegan's! #UnleashTheGrizz

@ncaatapes Kay Felder, Oakland University

@ncaatapes Dejuan Blair… Sam Young… might need to do Levance Fields now to complete the Pitt trip.

@ncaatapes Reggie Hamilton from Oakland, please. Reggie and Dame battled for nation’s leading scorer in 2011-12 season. Reggie took the crown with tremendous efficiency on one of highest usage rates in the country.

@OaklandMBB #AskKampe is the upcoming UNI game part of a home and home series where we would see them at the O next year?

Tonight‼️ Come out to Patti Finnegan's at 6 pm ET to see Michael Houge and Greg Kampe or listen on the Audacy app or The Bet 1270AM! #UnleashTheGrizz

@OaklandMBB #AskKampe What’s the one arena you haven’t coached in that you want to and have a shot at scheduling someday? And what’s the one golf course you haven’t played and have a shot at playing someday?

𝗜𝗚. Come watch Isaac Garrett and Greg Kampe at Patti Finnegan's or listen on The Bet 1270AM at 6 pm tonight! #UnleashTheGrizz

@OaklandMBB #AskKampe How did the MTE at Montana come together? Will we continue to see OU playing in MTEs in the future?
