PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Hello, friends, and welcome to today’s edition of the Rogers Report! It was a very fun and very windy moving day here at TPC Sawgrass. I hung around the first tee for a bit and watched the final groups tee off, then found myself bouncing back and forth among groups on the second nine. It was a big day for broadcast cameo appearances, and I’m so honored that No Laying Up considers me one of the best drivers of all time.

There’s a 99-percent chance whoever tweeted that didn’t notice me in the photo, but I’m going to run with the possibility that they were talking about Rory McIlroy, NLU’s Tron Carter and me.

54-hole leader J.J. Spaun

I have to admit that I don’t know a whole lot about J.J. Spaun, but I really liked what he had to say in his post-round presser on Saturday evening when asked about his career goals at the Players.

“I didn’t have, like, the pedigree of a junior golfer growing up. I wasn’t raised or groomed to be a professional golfer. I walked-on to a California state school. I didn’t really — I guess I kind of blossomed as I took on this journey, whether it was like junior golf, then high school golf, then college. I didn’t know what my ceiling was, I guess you could say. I still guess I don’t know what it is. But if you were to say before I turned pro, hey, you’re going to win a PGA Tour event and you’re going to play nine, 10 years out there, you’re going to make some good money and you’re going to have fun doing it, that would be a great accomplishment in my terms. But yeah, who knows. The sky’s the limit.”

Incredible perspective! I suddenly found myself wanting to learn more about Spaun, so I took the liberty of doing a deep dive on his Instagram page to learn a little bit more about him.

We’ll go through some of Spaun’s notable posts in chronological order, starting with this inspirational paragraph he either wrote or saw somewhere on the internet and decided to share.

I’m not sure if Spaun wrote this paragraph himself or simply reshared it to his followers, but I think this post aligns pretty well with what he had to say in his press conference on Saturday evening. Spaun is all about enjoying the journey and being thankful for what he’s got.

Next up we have something that all golfers hope for (non-major win edition): a letter from Arnold Palmer himself, which Spaun received after winning the 2016 News Sentinel Open on what’s now the Korn Ferry Tour.

And now for the grand finale. The coolest thing I scrolled across during my deep-dive of JJ Spaun was his skateboarding content.

Will he be the first professional golfer in history to ollie on site if he wins on Sunday? Probably not, but I’d love to see it.

The most relatable moment of the day

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Every time Billy Horschel does an interview, I like him even more. From his “Dirty Bird” dance to dressing like Tiger for an arrival look, he has brought so much fun to TGL this season. And on the course, he’s always up to something.

So it’s no surprise that he was a content gem on moving day at the Players during his mid-round interview. Check it out.
