Love: 'This is very, very sweet'

Posted Aug 24, 2015
Davis Love III walked down the hill of Sedgefield’s 18th fairway, driver still in hand, using the long club as a walking stick. He’s 51 years old and his surgically repaired foot hurts. “My doctor said, ‘Look, it’s going to hurt, and you just keep doing what you’re doing, keep working on it and I promise you there’s nothing wrong with it,’?” Love said. “… That gave me the confidence to go back to the range and work on my game.” (Greensboro News & Record)
