FEATURED STORIES
Before He Was Scottie, He Was The Sixth Man
By Alan Shipnuck

During his senior season at Dallas’s Highland Park High, in 2014, Derek Cahn led every 4A school in Texas with 83 made 3-pointers. The day before Cahn left home to play for Texas A & M as a walk-on, he found himself in a game of H-O-R-S-E with the 6th man from his high school team, a rangy 6’3” forward who had led Highland Park in offensive rebounding. “We get to the end of the game, and I had made 19 straight 3-pointers,” says Cahn. “That’s not an exaggeration: 19 in a row. Unfortunately, so did Scottie. Then I missed and he made his 20th in a row to beat me. The guy is just a beast. I’m not sure he had ever shot the ball like that before, but he did it when he had to. He just refused to lose.” With a chuckle, Cahn adds, “I’m sure this is sounding familiar.”
Indeed it is. For all of Scottie Scheffler’s physical gifts as a golfer, his defining trait is his ruthless competitiveness.

This month’s Working Holiday adventure was to a destination I’ve been curious about for a very long time, and I assume I’m not alone. You hear the stories and see the images of these vast stretches of empty desert, with a small patch of green carved into the middle of it and the faint routing of a golf course running through.
