YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS
------------------------------------------------------------
Take a bow. Brandt Snedeker began Round 1 of the Wyndham Championship at 1 over through 3. He finished with an 11-under 59, becoming just the ninth man in PGA Tour history to break 60. He also had some eerily foretelling comments (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/16/brandt-snedeker-shoots-59-at-wyndham-championship/) 24 hours earlier.
Double bogey. One U.S. Amateur participant began his week by failing to recognize Jack Nicklaus. At Pebble Beach, of all places. And the situation didn't improve (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/15/the-forecaddie-u-s-amateur-competitor-doesnt-recognize-jack-nicklaus-then-nearly-drills-him-with-ball/) from there.
Back in action. Lexi Thompson returned from a prolonged break this week at the Indy Women In Tech Championship. The 23-year-old also explained why she made the unusual decision (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/15/lexi-thompson-explains-extended-break-from-golf-im-not-just-a-robot-out-here/) to take a month off mid-season and miss the Women's British Open.
Silence is golden. For those of you who don't want to be remembered as the Steve Bartman of golf while following Tiger Woods around, consider this a final reminder (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/14/cell-phone-goes-off-as-tiger-woods-prepares-to-hit-drive-sunday-at-pga/) - chances are there's a little switch on the side of your phone that will put it on silent mode. USE IT.

LASTING IMAGE
------------------------------------------------------------
Pumped up. Yes, Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship, but the above image will fester in the memory bank for quite a while after Tiger Woods made a major statement (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/12/tiger-woods-just-misses-pga-win-but-more-major-thrills-are-coming-soon/) with a final-round 64.

** SOCIAL MEDIA HERO OF THE WEEK
------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas Pieters. Social Media Hero and also Millennial of the Year after snapping a pic of a ball mark on his cell phone (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/11/thomas-pieters-uses-phone-during-pga-championship-to-take-photo-of-partners-pitch-mark/) . Impressive since he was, you know, in the middle of his round at a major championship.

** A MATTER OF DEBATE
------------------------------------------------------------
Paris potential. With eight automatic qualifiers set and four captain's picks remaining, Jim Furyk has some tough choices to make in the coming weeks. Are Tiger and Phil locks? Can we count on young guns like Finau and DeChambeau? What about noted Tuesday money game bulldog Kevin Kisner? Let the debate begin (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/13/bryson-dechambeau-xander-schauffele-among-possible-captains-picks-for-u-s-ryder-cup-team/) .
Cart blanche? The USGA sets its own rules and they are to be followed. We get that. But a U.S. Amateur match play contender is going home thanks to a weird rule (https://golfweek.com/2018/08/16/akshay-bhatias-u-s-amateur-ends-after-rules-violation-and-it-wasnt-right/) about golf carts and it just doesn't seem right.
