Golfer Jim Furyk had the best drive of his career Monday, without using a club. Furyk, in Fort Worth, Texas, preparing to play in the Crowne Plaza Invitational, stopped off to thank Scott and Michelle Marlow for a “We (heart symbol) Furyk” banner on display at their home near the Colonial Country Club since before last year’s event. Furyk said he saw the banner every day last year, but couldn’t stop by, as he was involved in a playoff. “So I kind of waved from the car as we drove by and thought I’d stop by and say hello this year,” he said. Furyk knocked on the door and told the family babysitter, “I’m Jim. I’m the man on the sign.” Michelle Marlow said, “I ran into the foyer and started jumping up and down saying, ‘Jim Furyk! Jim Furyk!’ ” Furyk resisted the temptation to say, “Just playing through.” Los Angeles Times/Getty Images
