Jake Knapp's trouble was just getting started when he hit his 2nd tee shot.
ESPN+/ SHOTLINK
Whenever you’re hitting your SEVENTH shot from the tee box, it’s clear something has gone seriously wrong. But if there’s an individual hole on the PGA Tour that can make that happen — a specific tee box where players could find this fate — it’s the 6th tee at Bay Hill during the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Best evidenced by Bryson DeChambeau in 2021, the longest players on Tour can earn an incredible advantage on the 6th by carrying a tee shot 300-plus yards in the air, all the way over the lake that the 551-yard par-5 winds around. The longer the tee shots fly, the more pros can cut the corner, the more of an advantage they can get…so long as they clear the hazard.
Best evidenced by John Daly in 1998, even the longest players can implode by this singular pursuit. It was Daly who kept launching tee shots on the same line, hopeful one would cross the lake, over and over, Tin Cup style. Six water-balls later, Daly made an 18.
All of this brings us to Jake Knapp, recent winner of the Mexico Open and currently the 7th-longest player on Tour this season, averaging 310 yards off the tee. On Friday, Knapp made the 6th hole look tiny, crushing a 344-yard drive, smoothing a mid-iron in to 7 feet and making the eagle putt. Simple stuff. But Saturday’s conditions at Bay Hill were much windier. It wouldn’t be quite the same. But even in those conditions, Knapp was playing solidly, even par through five holes.
Knapp took a similar line Saturday, hoping to cut the corner once again, but his first tee ball traveled 300 yards when it needed to go about 302. His ball splashed a yard or two short of land, which just meant he would have to re-tee, getting no boost in yardage as he takes a penalty. From the same spot, he launched another drive, and while this one traveled those two extra yards, it now flew a few yards left. He knew it instantly, bailing on his swing pose, dropping his right hand off the club, staring long enough to watch a second straight splash, and just as excruciatingly short of the land.
The splash of Knapp’s first tee ball came up just shy of clearing the lake.
That’s where things get a bit confusing. For his next trick, Knapp avoided the water by missing so far right of it that, according to the PGA Tour’s Shotlink, he ended up out of bounds and forced to take another penalty stroke before putting the driver away and playing less club off the tee for his seventh stroke. At this point, Knapp hadn’t just surrendered his advantage, but he missed far enough right that he would be grinding to make a 10.
From the right rough, Knapp hacked his way back into the fairway, then left his approach shot about 60 yards short of the hole, pitched on and two-putted for a 12. A comfy dozen strokes added to his scorecard, the last of which was a bit of a grindy 4-footer to finally see his ball into the cup. Unsurprisingly, the entire ordeal solidified Knapp’s place at the bottom of the leaderboard.

All the while, Knapp’s playing partner Ludvig Aberg made the 6th look easy. He smoothed his tee ball 307 yards into the fairway, played a long iron up onto the edge of the green and casually two-putted for a birdie, eight strokes better than Knapp.
A western state university is the professional home to a music professor who has enjoyed an international career in music and operatic performance. He is admired for his many musical accomplishments, but he is envied for his skill as a crossword puzzle champion. He once said, “Will I rue a life wasted doing crosswords? Yes, but I do know the three-letter-word for regret.
The crossword puzzle is the most popular and widely available word game in the world, but it has a relatively short history – the first one published was the work of a journalist named Arthur Wynne of Liverpool, England.
The first English puzzle featuring words in a vertical-horizontal grid was printed in a child’s puzzle book and later ones appeared in various periodicals. Wynne’s first puzzle appeared on Sunday, December 21, 1913, in the New York World. The new puzzle concept met nationwide approval in the United States and within a decade the crossword was featured in almost every American newspaper and became a serious adult pastime.
The first British puzzle was in the February 1922 issue of Pearson’s Magazine. Surprisingly it took nearly eight years before Raphael Tuck and Sons published their six-card postcard set entitled, The Cross Word Craze. It is quite curious that Tuck made the corporate decision to market the crossword set only in Britain.
In the latter half of the 1920s many newspapers picked up on the pastime. There have been reports that newspaper sales increased by nearly 12% after a newspaper added a puzzle to their daily publication. Even today, puzzle fans will defend their newspaper purchases based on the version of the crossword the paper prints. Shortly after the first New York Times puzzle was published on Saturday, February 1, 1930, the crossword editor said: “Solving crosswords eliminates worries, they make you a calmer and more focused person.” He was right.
By the mid-1930s crossword puzzles had spread into a worldwide phenomenon. Puzzles materialized in a dozen other languages, among them, Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Gujarati (Gujarati is the 6th most widely spoken language in India), Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish.
Some fine examples of foreign language crosswords are the ones below. Each in the six-card set shows an Italian language puzzle that may have been the inspiration of the New York Time’s Daily Mini. They are among the very few crossword themed postcard purchases I have found.
People do crosswords for many reasons – as a challenge to keep the mind active, to relax after a busy day or while commuting to work; but how much do we really know about these brainteasers?
Do they know that early crossword puzzles had no black squares? Do they know that the world’s largest crossword is seven feet square and has 28,000 clues, the answers to which fill over 91,000 squares? (Copies are available online for $29.95.) Do they know that it is true that crosswords that are supplied to newspapers for syndication are designed to increase in difficulty throughout the week, with the easiest puzzle on Monday and the most difficult on Saturday? Do they know that a New York Times Sunday crossword, which is included in The NYT Magazine is an American cultural icon and typically is not the week’s most difficult?
The crossword craze has continued through the years and is now an online routine for millions. There is a puzzle at the New York Times website called the Daily Mini. Statistical reports calculated using online access to that page exceed seven million hits daily. Another fun fact from the early years is the number of shirts and dresses that were sold with designs that mimicked crossword grids. And, today in specialty gift shops (usually in airports), you can buy toilet rolls printed with crosswords waiting to be solved.
In the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth and at least five Prime Ministers (Churchill among them) were renowned crossword puzzle enthusiasts. In America, FDR was known to scold anyone who “fooled” with the crossword puzzle in his morning newspaper.
One more crossword fact: late in 1941 after readers of London’s Daily Telegraph finished the crossword they would send postcards to the newspaper office with the date, their name, address, and the length of time it took them to solve the puzzle. The Daily’s editors were impressed with the speeds of many and decided to hold a competition. Twenty-five competitors were invited to the newsroom to compete in a timed-test.
There were some participants who finished the puzzle in less than the expected 12 minutes. The first to finish took 6 minutes, 3 seconds, but he was disqualified for misspelling a word, the second-place finisher took 7 minutes, 57 seconds – he was awarded a cigarette lighter.
When the contest and the results were announced an “official” in the War Office at Bletchley Park contacted the winners with an invitation to apply to work as cryptographers. Two of them did and were hired. There is no record as to what success they had.

Bravo, Ray, for a piece that’s nicely presented–though it makes me shamefully envious! I have but 10 crossword-puzzle cards–2 of which are of the type you refer to as Italian, 7 of which are from a grouping that you don’t mention–namely, non-chrome, continental-size French cards signed Barberousse. If you’re not familiar with these cards, I’d be happy to send you scans if you can tell me how to do so.

I enjoyed this article as I like cryptic crosswords and have picked up one or two ‘crossword’ postcards over recent years.
