Charlie Reiter Wins California Amateur Championship

It's been some kind of 30 days for Charlie Reiter of Palm Desert, California.

On June 6, he nearly medaled at the U.S. Open Final Qualifying event at The Olympic Club. The University of San Diego golfer, who went down in the finals of the California Amateur in 2020, avenged that loss with a 5-and-4 victory over Kevin Huff (El Dorado Hills, Calif.) at Big Canyon Country Club. Two years after losing to Joey Vrzich at Torrey Pines, he is the California Amateur Champion.

"Finishing second, that wasn't going to happen again," Reiter said when asked about the 2020 outcome. "We got off to a quick start and I kept it going. It was awesome."

Carl Yuan Wins 1st Event on The Korn Ferry Tour!

BROUSSARD, Louisiana – After four runner-up finishes, and after delaying a chance to earn a PGA TOUR card in order to represent China at the Olympic Men’s Golf Competition last year in Tokyo, Carl Yuan defeated Peter Uihlein on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff for a breakthrough victory at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open presented by MISTRAS.

Yuan fired a 6-under 65, one of seven scores of 65 or better Sunday, and matched Uihlein at 14-under par for the week. Yuan birdied the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th, hitting a wedge 12 feet past the hole and draining the putt. Uihlein hit a wedge 6 feet short of the hole but missed his playoff-extending birdie putt.

“I knew like I had to make mine,” Yuan said. “My coach and I worked on a couple things last two weeks just having the confidence over a putt. No matter a 3‑footer or a 40‑footer, I have the same confidence of making it. And I have practiced (a) putt like this hundreds of times when I practice. Definitely dream about having a putt to win a tournament like this, playoff or (on) No. 18.”

The victory also marked an early (or perfectly timed in his native China) birthday present, as Yuan turns 25 years old Monday.

LPGA Pro Mel Reid and Her Path to Self-Belief

One week before she left for Royal Troon in August, Reid spoke with sports psychologist Howard Falco for the first time. She immediately felt comfortable with Falco, and opened up deep-rooted wounds she’d been reluctant to address.

Understanding her self-worth was at the heart of it.

“I think that has been a big issue for me,” she said, “whether I deserve stuff.”

So many events that have built up over time, Reid says, come pouring out now with Falco. They talk before and after every round. She needs someone to push her like that. Those who are close can already tell a difference in her mannerisms and state of mind.

Mel Reid Discusses her Victory and Our Work on Mental Strength

Reid credits the turnaround in fortunes to Howard Falco, her mental strength coach. Shortly before the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Troon in August she asked her agent if there were any psychologists with whom she could work, as she was “sick and tired of playing shit”.

A shortlist of names was returned and Reid was drawn to Falco, a self-empowerment expert from Chicago. They speak on the phone on Wednesdays — the day before a tournament — and then after each round. When they spoke on Sunday, Reid thanked Falco for changing her life. “He’s on to me, which I need because I get very complacent,” Reid says. “He doesn’t let me take anything [for granted].”

Joey Yellen plays in first collegiate game and almost pulls off ASU miracle win

Arizona State offensive coordinator Rob Likens believes in miracles and that freshman quarterback Joey Yellen almost pulled one off Saturday.

“Playing in his first college game, other than one penalty-ended snap two weeks ago, Yellen nearly brought ASU back from a 28-7 deficit at Sun Devil Stadium. Even though he hurt his shoulder taking a sack on ASU's third offensive play and "couldn't hardly throw the football," Likens said. "He just toughed it out the rest of the game. 

"It was an unbelievable performance. I can't say enough about it."
