• Debate over trees simmers at Aronimink (globalgolfpost.com) — Golf fans in Newtown Square are seeing Aronimink’s dramatically thinned tree lines tested on a global stage as the PGA Championship comes to town. Players like Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are debating whether the course, now closer to Donald Ross’s mostly treeless vision, still provides a complete challenge, while broader arguments over technology and golf-ball rollback swirl around the tournament.
