Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we promise not to talk about the election. In fact, the only vote we’ll discuss is the one that took place in my younger daughter’s preschool class: pizza vs. ice cream. And ice cream won. And she was really happy about it. And also about getting a sticker for voting.

The ice cream lobby will be really happy as well. Anyway, who thinks we should talk about golf now? OK, the ayes have it.

 The six-hole playoff win over Marina Alex gave her a maiden LPGA Tour title, but that doesn’t nearly tell the story of this precocious Japanese star. The 21-year-old Takeda had already won on the LPGA of Japan SEVEN times in 2024. So the winning, especially in her home country at the Toto Japan Classic, is becoming old hat:

Charley Hull: And we’re also buying the power of positive thinking. On the eve of the LET’s Aramco Team Series event, Hull said, “I feel like a win is just around the corner.” Three days later, she ended a two-year winless drought. Talk about manifesting something.

And, because of Saudi Arabia’s strict smoking laws, she hoisted the trophy without lifting a single cigarette to her mouth! Go Charley! For once we were inundated with videos of her hitting darts instead of smoking them. So Charley—and the kids—won. You love to see it. Or, not see it in this case.

And I love the “Maintenance Shed”-labeled bathroom. Although, if I’m nitpicking, I could do without the gym down there. That’s just taking up valuable real estate. Kidding. Sort of.

However, kudos to Kristoffer Reitan. Not only for winning his first Challenge Tour event when he needed it most, but to have the wherewithal to tell his significant other to not celebrate an opponent’s miss. That’s class.
