Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list, the team announced Tuesday.

Robert leads the White Sox with six home runs and is batting .285 with 17 RBIs.

In a related roster move, the White Sox recalled infielder Jake Burger from Triple-A Charlotte. He has played 21 games in the majors this season and is batting .239 with two home runs and seven RBIs.

Where is the 'normal water'? Is a pigeon allowed on the court? Will Rafael Nadal get to use his Champions League final ticket?

Where is the 'normal water'?

"It is not normal at a Grand Slam! Is that normal? Do you think it is normal?"

Stan Wawrinka's outburst may have drawn more concern from the umpire, had the former champion not been referring to his bottled water.

Contesting his first-round match against France's Corentin Moutet, the 37-year-old was not happy with the temperature of the water on offer to him.

The Swiss player complained at length to the umpire during a changeover that his water was too cold.

"You call someone. It has been three changeovers, I asked you for some water that is not freezing!" protested Wawrinka, also using some much stronger language than that.

"It is not good. You are at the French Open and you cannot get normal water! You think it is normal?"

There is some reasoning to this - the Guardian pointed out an extract from Novak Djokovic's book where he talks about only drinking warm water on court as cold water slows digestion and "diverts blood away from my muscles".

Warm water or not, Wawrinka ultimately lost 2-6 6-3 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 to Moutet.

What are the rules on pigeons?

Ugo Humbert has a question for tennis' rulemakers - can you play when there is a pigeon on the court?

The Frenchman lost his opening match in five sets but was distracted by a pigeon that took up residence at the beginning of the fourth set.

"I'd like to know what the rule is. Can we play when there is a pigeon on the court?" Humbert asked a news conference.

"I was serving, the pigeon was there, I looked at the umpire so that he would stop. I didn't dare and ask him to stop the match.

"I thought maybe he would say, 'no, the pigeon was not bothering you', but the pigeon was bothering me, close to me.

"I didn't understand why he didn't ask us to stop playing."

This is partly why Wimbledon uses Rufus the hawk during the Grand Slam - he helps chase away the birds to stop them interrupting play.

Will Nadal gets to Champions League final?

Rafael Nadal is a massive Real Madrid fan - he went to their astonishing Champions League semi-final second-leg comeback against Manchester City, which he credited for inspiring his victory over David Goffin at the Madrid Open the next day.

Real will face Liverpool in Saturday's final in Paris, which could be a problem for Nadal, who is bidding for a record-extending 14th French Open crown.

"Well, I am here to play Roland Garros more than anything else, no? But of course, I have my tickets already," he said earlier this week.

Nadal is an iconic figure at Roland Garros, where there is a statue of him in the grounds, and he has been credited by a number of players for inspiring them to take up the sport.

Moutet, who beat Wawrinka, said that he used to sleep with one of Nadal's French Open tank tops as a youngster.

"When you're a kid you need to have idols. I was a lefty, so he was my inspiration," the 23-year-old, who could meet Nadal in the third round, said.

"I even did stupid things, I was sleeping with his French Open tank top. I was a kid, not like I was 14 or 15 years old."

Who is the 'legend' who Raducanu hopes will bring her luck?

Moments after Emma Raducanu clinched a hard-fought win over Czech teenager Linda Noskova, she went to the side-line and high-fived a bloke in the front row.

But it wasn't a member of her team. So who was it? Turns out it was an old friend, of sorts, who supported her throughout the memorable run to US Open glory.

"I don't know him personally, or even his name, but he was there right from the first match in New York," laughed the British number one.

"He always sits in the front row. He gets really pumped, the guy is a legend! It's amazing to have him here, it brings back really happy memories.

"It was really special to see him and hopefully he can be at the next match too."

Will Djokovic use his birthday present?

Defending men's champion Novak Djokovic turned 35 years old in Paris and got a handy gift from the organisers.

Why was McEnroe singing about Nadal?

And finally, John McEnroe penned an ode to Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz on Eurosport's coverage.

It was a version of Green Day's Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), where McEnroe sings about the trio being "some of the best that I have ever seen".

McEnroe often posts videos of himself playing guitar and singing with his daughter, Emily.

Google it. It's worth it.

Czech eighth seed Karolina Pliskova survived a first-round scare to advance at the French Open.

She is joined in the next round by American Danielle Collins, who recovered from two breaks of serve in the second set to beat Bulgaria's Viktoriya Tomova 6-0 6-4.

Meanwhile, former champion Jelena Ostapenko beat Lucia Bronzetti 6-1 6-4.

World number two Daniil Medvedev reached the French Open second round with a comfortable win but 14th seed Denis Shapovalov made a surprise exit.

The Russian reached his first quarter-final at Roland Garros last year - having lost in the first round the four previous times.

He had been unsure of his participation after a hernia operation in April.

"I love Roland Garros, especially since last year. I hope this year I can go further," said Medvedev, who will meet Serb Laslo Djere or Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis next.

"When I went under the operation I didn't think I was going to play on clay, but I managed with the doctor and physio to get back. Physically, I feel 100 per cent."

Meanwhile, 2021 Wimbledon semi-finalist Shapovalov said he "didn't really show up" in a straight-sets defeat by Danish 19-year-old Holger Rune.

The 23-year-old Canadian, who reached the last eight at the Australian Open earlier this year, made a huge 53 unforced errors as the 2019 junior Roland Garros champion won 6-3 6-1 7-6 (7-4).

Bagnis hampered by injury in Medvedev defeat

Bagnis, 32, immediately responded after seeing his serve broken in the opening game - but that was to prove a rare glimmer of hope for him against Medvedev on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

In a dominant display, second seed Medvedev won nine successive games as he efficiently settled the first set and took a commanding 4-0 lead on his way to clinching the second.

The Russian, unable to compete under his national flag because of the war in Ukraine, saw his progress checked as Bagnis - struggling with a calf issue throughout - broke back to level the third set at 2-2.

But that only served to refocus Medvedev, who rattled through the next four games to end the contest after just one hour and 38 minutes.

Bagnis could be fined his full prize money if it is decided that his injury prevented the Argentine meeting the required professional standard.

"It was a tough first round. I tried to give my best. I didn't have it in my best condition, I had a problem last week in my leg, but I came here to Roland Garros to get ready and try to give 100 percent," Bagnis said.

"But today after the warm-up I felt it again, the problem, so it was tough because I think I couldn't play, but I wanted to continue. I wanted to finish the match, so, I tried to do it, but it was not to easy so that's the reality."

Gloucester head coach George Skivington has committed his future to the club by signing a new "long-term deal".

The former lock retired from playing because of injury in 2016 after spells at Wasps, Leicester and London Irish.

"I'm massively grateful to the club for giving me this contract. The club did take a punt on me," Skivington said.

"There were higher profile coaches that they could have gone for which would have been the easy option in terms of people's perceptions.

"My ambition is to prove them right and show them that they've hired the right guy and I'll continue to do that. We want to be a successful club year after year."

While Gloucester finished 11th in the Premiership in Skivington's first year at the helm, they have made big strides this season and are currently in fifth place, having pushed for the top four play-off spots for most of the campaign.

The success of the team's driving maul this season, to become the most formidable in the league, has typified Gloucester's improvement and is something Skivington is keen to create a culture around.

"It's probably the best area of the game for showing how tight you are as a group," he told BBC Sport previously.

Gloucester chief executive officer Lance Bradley added: "We have a long-term vision for success both on and off the field, and George has made, and continues to make, a significant contribution towards that," said

New York Rangers winger Ryan Reaves had some regrets after Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Not about the result, which was a 3-1 Rangers victory at Madison Square Garden that cut their series deficit to 2-1. But about the immediate aftermath.

Reaves was on the ice at the final buzzer when Carolina forward Max Domi gave Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren a cross-check in New York's zone, leading to the two wrestling to the ice. Meanwhile, Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo was trading words with the Rangers' bench, causing an irate coach Gerard Gallant to snap back.

"You never want to see a guy chirping your bench," Reaves said. "I wish I would have seen that. I was looking more at the Domi/Lindgren thing. It happens in playoff games. I guess guys feel a little braver because they know scrums like that aren't going to result in anything. I wish I were a little quicker to the scrum, for sure. I wish I would have grabbed him first."

Gallant memorably called it "the bulls--- at the end of the game that they initiated," and decried what he saw as a futile attempt by the Hurricanes to send a message ahead of Tuesday night's Game 4.

"The game is over," the coach said. "They're not sending any message. We've got the guy that can handle all their guys if we want to."

Did he mean Reaves, one of the NHL's last remaining enforcers?

"I never said his name," Gallant said with a laugh Monday.

Gallant coached Reaves with the Vegas Golden Knights before they both joined the Rangers. "He did his job perfectly [in Vegas]. It's not about going out there and fighting. What's he fought, twice this year?" asked Gallant. (It was three times.) "He's just an insurance blanket for you there. Our guys know we have him there."

In a brief few moments at the end of Game 3, the second-round series between the Rangers and Hurricanes became a series Reaves would love. Emotions boiled over. Penalties were earned. Trash was talked.

"I just think it's going to [happen] in the playoffs, when you play the same team over and over again," Gallant said. "It's going to happen naturally. I don't think it's a thing where guys say 'OK, now we've gotta be nasty. We've gotta start a scrum. We've gotta start eye-gouging guys.' It's never like that."

The Hurricanes deny there was "message sending" at the end of Game 3. Coach Rod Brind'Amour responded as if he were taken aback by Gallant's claim.

"He really said that?" he said, noting that players such as Martin Necas and Jesperi Kotkaniemi were on the ice when Domi mixed it up with Lindgren. "I don't know what he's talking about. We don't really have guys that send messages."

"I don't know what message we were sending," rookie forward Seth Jarvis said. "We played until the final buzzer and then stuff got out of hand."

But the Rangers are clearly looking to use the incident as a green light for more physicality in the series, which Gallant believes is to their benefit.

"I like to see our guys get a little pissed off once in a while," he said. "We play better. It helps us get more focused a little bit."

Reaves agreed. "Some of those top guys getting a little more physical," he said. "I think our team thrives on that. Some teams shy away. I think we do well with that."

Obviously, there are limitations to that physicality. While the Hurricanes have sputtered on the power play on the road, going 1-for-19 in the playoffs, the Rangers don't want to tempt fate by taking irresponsible penalties. They've benefitted from being one of the most disciplined teams in the playoffs, averaging 3.30 penalties per 60 minutes, behind only Colorado in staying out of the penalty box.

"You don't want to go get outside your game," defenseman Justin Braun said. "You don't want to be taking stupid penalties in a series that's this tight. You gotta have that physicality but you've gotta keep your head."

That said, the Rangers will remember Domi wrestling with Lindgren after the buzzer. They'll remember DeAngelo at the benches, increasing the heat he already had with his former team. The question is, will that manifest into some extra physicality coming the way of those players in Game 4?

Reaves pondered that question Monday, bobbing his head while a prolonged "ummmm" hummed through his mouth. A smile slowly crept across his face.

"I don't want to say anything stupid here," he said, drawing a laugh. "I'm sure [our] guys aren't going to shy away from finishing checks on those guys. There's going to be some added nastiness when a specific player does something."

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid is putting on a master class of postseason performance, and it's pushing the Edmonton Oilers to greater heights.

Take, for example, McDavid's play in Game 2 of Edmonton's second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Calgary Flames. The Oilers were trailing 3-1 after a disallowed goal, and McDavid had just set up a subsequent goal for Leon Draisaitl that was also called back.

Frustrating? Not for McDavid. Shortly thereafter, Edmonton's captain took control and dangled through Calgary's defense to score against Jacob Markstrom.

Edmonton's bench exploded. The Oilers were back in business. And Calgary would not score again as Edmonton went on to win 5-3 and even the best-of-seven series at 1-1.

McDavid didn't have much to say about his goal -- "I'm just happy to contribute," he said afterward -- but there was no mistaking its impact, or the one McDavid is having in these playoffs.

And if McDavid isn't going to talk about his play, there are plenty of people around him willing to pick up the slack.

"The way this guy is playing right now, it's special," Oilers interim coach Jay Woodcroft said. "He's driving our team forward. Connor is the best hockey player in the world. He's willing to pay a price to win. He's driven to win. He has an effect on everybody in our organization with that desire to take his game to the next level."

"I think he's pushing his own limits, right? And that's what special players do," forward Zach Hyman added. "He's taken his game to another level, and that's hard to do already. But he's leading our team in every aspect. He's doing it all. He's a huge reason we're here."

"Here" for the Oilers is now leading their series with Calgary 2-1 after a 4-1 blowout in Game 3 on Sunday. McDavid had three points in that game, teeing up two of Evander Kane's three goals and another by Hyman. But McDavid's dominance goes beyond the scoresheet.

He can also get inside your head.

"We've let one guy beat us a few nights now," Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk said after Sunday's loss. "Just back to the drawing board and figure out a way to stop him. Pretty much, they've got one player that plays half the game and he's playing some great hockey right now and we've got to find a way to stop that."

Given the layers to McDavid's contributions of late, it'll be like halting a freight train:

• He can effortlessly attack the offensive zone with unparalleled speed.

• He can execute under pressure to keep a play alive.

• He battles defensively to create offense.

• He's engaged physically, throwing the second-most hits (12) for Edmonton in this Battle of Alberta series, and has levied its third-most hits (33) through 10 playoff games.

The list could go on from there. McDavid has only gotten sharper since the Oilers opened their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, pounding on the brick wall that was Jonathan Quick until he could drag Edmonton through to a seven-game series win.

McDavid leads the NHL postseason field in points (23), same as he did in the regular season (123). He is a Hart Trophy finalist once again this season. But it's not those accolades that set him apart. And it's not why Woodcroft is willing to put his superstar on the ice when Edmonton is protecting a critical lead under duress, as it was late in Game 2.

"What I saw was a leader who, when the game was on the line, was prepared to be in a shooting lane," Woodcroft said. "When the goalie is pulled and we're killing a penalty, he was out there for a reason. He put his body on the line so we would win. And that type of self-sacrifice is what it takes to win this time of year."

The McDavid Effect by the numbers

One look at McDavid and he passes the eye test. His postseason stats flesh out an even greater story.

In Sunday's Game 3, McDavid became the first player in Stanley Cup playoffs history with nine multipoint contests through his first 10 games.

The outlier there was a pointless night in Game 4 against L.A. (a shutout for Quick). Since then, McDavid has recorded multiple points in six straight contests, marking the longest such streak since Evgeni Malkin achieved the same feat in 2009 (and eventually won the Conn Smythe when Pittsburgh hoisted the Cup). Only Wayne Gretzky (eight-game streak in 1983), Darryl Sittler (seven in 1977) and Tony Currie (seven in 1981) have done better.

The 23 points McDavid has accrued is tied (with Boston's Rick Middleton in 1983) for the fourth most through the first 10 playoff games, trailing only Gretzky (29 in 1983 and 25 in 1985) and Mario Lemieux (25 in 1992).

All told, McDavid has produced sparkling individual numbers, while skating alongside other top talents in Draisaitl and Kane. His figures are only one piece of the puzzle, though.

"[What] it shows," said Oilers goalie Mike Smith, "is that when your best players are playing the best hockey of their careers in the playoffs, your team has a really good chance to win."

And how.

According to Stathletes data, the Oilers have generated 34 scoring chances (11.3 per game) against the Flames when McDavid is on the ice. Without him, Edmonton has created just 17 scoring chances (5.7 per game) and allowed 42 scoring chances against (14.0 per game).

He also leads all skaters this series in expected goals per 60 minutes (5.52). Draisaitl is second, with 5.18. Kane is third, at 3.82.

Through the Oilers' first 10 playoff games, Edmonton has out-chanced opponents 102-47 with McDavid on the ice, for a staggering +55 differential. By comparison, the Oilers have 62 scoring chances without McDavid on the ice and have allowed 101 scoring chances.

As a team, Edmonton has generated 28 goals at 5-on-5 in the postseason; McDavid has been out there for 17 (or 60.7%) of them.

With McDavid in the mix, the Oilers have given up only 169 shot attempts (16.9 per game) in these playoffs, compared with 376 (37.6 per game) when McDavid is on the bench.

It's an astonishing reflection on McDavid's overall game and represents the sheer volume of ways he makes Edmonton better. He's already widely acknowledged as the NHL's best player, but McDavid hasn't stopped reinventing and tweaking and improving. It's that commitment to excellence that impresses teammates most.

"He continues every year, in every important situation, to take another step and bring his game to another level," Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said. "I think this playoffs he's been physically hitting guys, he uses his body to protect the puck and get on the forecheck. We see that as a group, and obviously he makes the plays at every chance [that are] available and creates something out of nothing in so many situations. But for our group, when he's your captain and he's doing that [other stuff], you want to follow that and you want to follow his example."

'Driven to be the best in the world'

Whenever McDavid touched the puck in Game 3, a roar would erupt at Rogers Place. Chants of "M-V-P" rained down with regularity from the thousands in jerseys bearing his name.

When McDavid laid an open-ice hit on Flames pest Tkachuk in the first period, a crescendo of cheers. When McDavid's speed drew an interference call against Calgary's Trevor Lewis, an ear-splitting whoop.

That's the power McDavid wields. No words necessary.

"Do I think it's special what Connor's doing?" Woodcroft asked. "You don't need me to tell you that."

McDavid won't provide much insight on his excellence, either. All his best talking gets done on the ice.

In that respect, what else can be said? McDavid is more than a game-changer. He's a series-breaker. And he's blown this one wide open for Edmonton as it heads into Game 4 on Tuesday (9:30 ET, ESPN) with a chance to put Calgary on the brink of elimination.

Which would be just another day at the office for McDavid.

"Every aspect of Connor in terms of the professional hockey player is business-oriented," Woodcroft said. "He is driven to be the best in the world. He is driven to find marginal gains on a day-to-day basis. During crunch time or adverse times in games, what you're seeing is somebody who is still maintaining his character. In his play, you see an elevation or willingness to do just a little bit more. And I think that type of effort and leadership is contagious. And I think it resonates with our players."

With two more wins against Edmonton's provincial rivals, he'll be doing it on an even bigger stage.

Annika Sorenstam celebrated shooting the lowest round in LPGA Tour history by cooking fish soup for dinner with her sister, Charlotta. What was in the soup? Charlotta couldn’t remember and didn’t care. The evening was a blur after Annika made history that day by carding a 59 at the 2001 Standard Register Ping at Moon Valley Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona.

Sorenstam’s record-setting round wasn't the topic of conversation that night as the 10-time major champion dined with her sister. By then, the Swede had spent a decade in partnership with Vision54, comprised of performance coaches Pia Nilson and Lynn Marriott, who helped Sorenstam learn how to separate her identity as one of the greatest golfers of all time from who she was off the golf course.

“I feel it’s very important to find balance in life. Life cannot just be competition,” Sorenstam recently told GolfChannel.com. “When you are off, be off. Take a complete break and enjoy whatever your hobbies are.”

Sorenstam says she divided her time on tour into three modes: rest, tournament and practice. When she was in rest mode, working out or cooking were two of the hobbies Sorenstam enjoyed most. Whipping up dinner was one of the ways she escaped from the game and, despite the pressure that came with playing as the No. 1 player in the world, it was a disconnect that Sorenstam says she easily made.

For others, the separation hasn’t been so simple.

Jennifer Kupcho began playing golf at age 5. By the time she won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in 2019, at 21, she’d been playing golf for nearly her entire life. She competed for Wake Forest, ascended to No. 1 in the amateur ranks, and earned LPGA Tour membership, which she took up after wrapping her college career.

At the same time, Kupcho wondered: Who am I as a person? What she had achieved on the golf course was so intertwined with her identity as a person that the frustration of hitting a duffed chip or a missed putt often resulted in an outward reaction that exposed her inner-demons. She needed an outlet from golf.

Nilsson and Mariott say players like Kupcho begin to realize that their singular role as a golfer is not sustainable as they reach their mid-20s, but by the same token, they often resist adding another role to their life because they believe it will impact their performance. Vision54 says they help players introduce a hobby to their lives through discussion and by sharing examples of other players' success. Once they’re open to taking on an additional activity, Vision54 recommends players do so gradually.

“All of us need a break from a ‘work role’ to recharge and be motivated,” Nilsson said. “It makes you better when you work. [It’s] the same for us as a coach, and anyone else, no matter [what] profession. Golf is what you do, and it’s not who you are.”

In 2020, Kupcho knew she needed to make some changes to improve her mindset as she adjusted to her first full season as a pro. The timing couldn’t have been worse.

The world was submerged in a pandemic that led the LPGA to take a three-month hiatus, forcing many players into isolation. Even when the tour returned in July 2020, few options were available due to COVID-19 protocols which limited players' activities to competing, practicing and sitting in their hotel room. How could Kupcho escape the game or her thoughts?

To fill the time, Kupcho began reading again, an activity she had abandoned upon leaving Wake Forest. She also began playing the video game "Fortnite" as a fun way to stay in touch with friends, instead of passively talking on the phone.

“Going from being a really serious golfer when I first came out on tour and getting upset over bad shots, doing those changes in 2020 helped me calm down,” Kupcho said last season.

Nilsson says in her team’s 30 years of coaching, they’ve never seen a player become successful by micro-focusing on their singular role as a golfer.

Vision54 has worked with several top-ranked players, including multiple world No. 1s, some of whom they say have no idea who they are as a person. The issue is many of the world’s best players have their identity entangled with performance, media, fans, and sponsors.

“They think if I only micro-focus for X-amount of years, that will make me most successful. After I am done playing, I can have other roles,” Nilsson said about players who have resisted enjoying other aspects of life. “They burn out, and they can become very unhealthy and feel that they are a good human as long as the performance is good. They can feel that others only like them when they play well.”

In addition to adopting a hobby, Vision54 also helps golfers adopt a role that allows them to simply be themselves. Nilsson says it's critical for players to identify who they would be if golf wasn’t an option.

“Either their golf performance tanks, or they are just not happy, healthy human beings,” Vision54 says in training documents designed for players’ support teams, which emphasize the importance of establishing that separate identity away from golf. “Who they are as a human being is always more important than their performance, and it’s the only way sustainable, great performance can happen."

When Kupcho is at home in Arizona with her new husband, Jay Monahan, she says she practices for a few hours, and then does something else to avoid spending all her time at the golf course. She watches Netflix, plays "Fornite" and has embraced her new role as a wife. These changes have made Kupcho happier away from the game, and it’s bled into her performance on the golf course. In April, she notched her first tour win and first major title at the Chevron Championship.

“It's what we've been doing our whole life,” Kupcho said about golf. “I think it's really important to just be able to separate your life. Golf is not the only thing that defines you.”

Patty Tavatanakit, a major champion and pupil of Vision54, has been masterful at making this separation.

Tavatanakit was chasing Kupcho at the Chevron Championship in April. Even during a major week, she reiterated how important it is for her to get away from the game.

“I love doing nothing. Just lay around, watch Netflix, or go hang out with friends,” Tavatanakit said during the championship. “When I'm off the golf course, I don't like to think that I'm a golfer.”

The Wednesday of the season’s first major championship, Tavatanakit says she played the pro-am and then left the golf course. She knew her limitations and what she needed and it wasn’t to spend more time practicing.

“If I need to leave the golf course, I'll leave regardless of where I am,” Tavatanakit explained. “I just didn't feel like being here. That's what works best for me, just knowing when to stop at this sport.”

Sorenstam knew when she needed to stop, too. In 2008, after 13 years and 72 wins on tour, Sorenstam retired from professional golf in order to focus on her new role as a mom.

Sorenstam decided she needed to make a clean break from her role as a golfer, and with her husband, Mike McGee, had two children, Will and Ava.

“I took my competitive fire and put it towards my foundation and inspiring the next generation of junior girls,” Sorenstam said about shifting into her role as a philanthropist after retiring from golf. “I have focused my efforts on growing the game and providing playing opportunities for girls around the world.”

As society and cultural norms have shifted, fewer players have followed Sorenstam’s path and instead maintain roles as both a full-time player and a parent. The Smuckers Child Development Center has afforded more players the opportunity to maintain both identities by providing daily childcare services at every tour stop.

“This generation wants to be able to do both, and there are more options to get support in doing it,” Nilsson said about the growing number of mothers on tour. “The childcare on tour is, as an example, so helpful for them. More women have other careers along with a family, so it’s not just happening in golf.”

Establishing an identity away from golf can be a challenge for women who have played the game as long as they can remember. Golf is what you do, and not who you are, is the mantra that Vision54 preaches to its players and one that has been adopted, with success, by major champions like Sorenstam, Kupcho and Tavatanakit. Whether it's cooking, playing video games, or simply learning when it's time to leave the golf course, these practices are essential for the women competing at the highest level to maintain a healthy balance in both golf and in life.

“I’m a different person off the golf course, and it's not related at all,” Kupcho said. “It really made me a happier person, in general.”
