Jeremy McDonald

What the sharps are saying…

(+650) Co-founder. Three-time Champion. Counselor-at-law. Jeremy continues to prove that the Random Cup isn't won with range balls alone.

This year, the range balls were even scarcer — by necessity. J-Mac has spent the offseason crisscrossing the country as the Cup's tireless ambassador, promoting the Championship coast to coast and working the kind of behind-the-scenes deals that will shape the tournament's growth for years to come. Golf, for once, took a back seat to the business of the game. He has logged just enough competitive rounds this season to keep his Random Cup card current — the bare minimum, and not one swing more.

Which leaves the field with an unsettling question: what version of Jeremy shows up at Pinehurst? Nobody knows — possibly including Jeremy. He could arrive rusty and overextended, or he could do what he's always done: lean on experience, patience, and a mental game as sharp as his legal briefs, and quietly materialize in the final group before anyone noticed him climbing. With most players you study the form. With J-Mac, there is no form to study. That's exactly what makes him dangerous.

If he can avoid another late-night debate over tournament formats, don't be surprised if he works his way right back to where he's so often been... exactly where nobody expected.
