Notre Dame has a proud history in athletics. As we reflect on the 55-year anniversary of the Observer, virtually every sport could merit its own list of historical top 10 moments. From national championships to drought-breaking wins, to heroic individual performances, Notre Dame has left a shamrock-shaped stamp on the history of collegiate sports. So

Here at The Observer, there is one accomplishment, one milestone, one crown every writer and editor dreams of having the good fortune (and fortitude) to place upon their heads — the Golden Sombrero. Awarded to those among us who have written for not just News — and not just Scene! — but Sports and Viewpoint

It’s a bit weird to be thinking about sports now, isn’t it? I never thought I’d be typing that sentence but this is what it has come to. Sports have taken a back seat. In my eyes, throughout human history two things have remained consistent: sports and art. I think of the ancient gladiators and

It’s hard for me to believe that the semester is already coming to a close, and it’s even harder for me to believe that the turn of the decade is suddenly upon us. It’s customary for us to reminisce at significant milestones like the one rapidly approaching, observing who we were 10 years ago, and

Golf is not boring. It was the Saturday of the Masters last April. Patrick Reed was in the lead with Rory McIlroy making aggressive strides to close in. As I sat watching the broadcast from Augusta in my dorm room, my roommate laid down to take a nap. I offered to mute the TV in

The Irish have worked this entire season to put their skills on the line at the ACC Championship. The Irish were tied for second at 17-under after two rounds and ended tied for sixth with North Carolina after a 2-under par final round. The team was 19-under-par for the tournament, carding the second lowest full

Patrick Reed’s Masters victory Sunday was bad for the sport of the golf. Perhaps I should rephrase that. This narrative that “Patrick Reed is an emblem of American golf and, although you may not like him, his Masters win is good for the game so deal with it,” is misguided. This is not to say

I am not a hardcore golf fan. I loved golf in the era of Tiger Woods’ dominance. The early 2000s stretch of Woods against the world was incredible. My interest in golf has waned somewhat since then, as a lack of similarly dominant stars in the sport make it less interesting. The PGA needs its

Looking to build on their historic start at the Notre Dame Kickoff Invitational, the Irish will travel to San Francisco to compete in the Olympic Club Intercollegiate on Monday and Tuesday. The Irish started the season off by making a statement last weekend, winning their invitational by 23 strokes over Valparaiso and Detroit. Notre Dame

Golf is inherently a boring spectator sport. It’s simply hard to watch for extended periods of time. Over the summer, however, I decided to at least try and pay attention to all the relevant golf tournaments, despite routinely confusing a bogey and a birdie. With the help of The Observer sports department, past and present,
