Justin Thomas leaps to the next level, Adam Scott's putter catches fire, Tiger Woods undergoes another back procedure, John Peterson does his best "Happy Gilmore" impression and more in this week's travel-weary edition of the Monday Scramble:

That’s been the lazy parallel drawn by TV commentators and fans over the past few years who didn’t know that Thomas is the son of a longtime PGA professional, or that he made his first PGA Tour cut at age 16, or that he was the 2012 college Player of the Year (over that Spieth fella) or that he was the best rookie in 2015, no matter how the final vote shook out.
