Oh boy. Are you ready for this? I don't think you are.
Alan Shipnuck wrote a terrific profile of Kevin Na for Sports Illustrated recently. Na is a fascinating character who has struggled for most of his career with the psychological part of golf much more so than the physical part.
You should definitely read the entire piece, but I'm going to spoil the ending. It's a happy ending. Na is more comfortable in his own head these days. One example of this is that he approached Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship last season. Na wanted Woods to sign a hat for a friend named Young Nam. Nam lives in Korea and is someone Woods knows of.
Their exchange was pretty unbelievable.
"Is Nam still getting a lot of ass?" Na recalls Woods asking.
Na replied that the hat was for Nam's latest girlfriend.
That was an acceptable answer for Woods: "If it will help him get laid, I'll do it." The two cracked up, leaving the hundreds of fans surrounding the green to wonder what was so funny.
So there you go. I don't even know what to say other than that's the least surprising story I've heard this year.
