Each week, GolfChannel.com takes a look back at the week in golf. Here's what's weighing on our writers' minds.On the global nature of Koepka's rise to No. 1 ...Brooks Koepka is an American superstar, and a two-time winner of his national open. But his rise to world No. 1 in, of all places, South Korea, emphasizes the circuitous, global path he took to the top.After winning the CJ Cup by four shots, Koepka was quick to remind reporters that he made his first-ever start as a pro in Switzerland back in 2012. He cracked the top 500 for the first time with a win in Spain, and he broke into the top 100 after a good week in the Netherlands.Koepka languished on the developmental Challenge Tour for a year before earning a promotion to the European Tour, and he didnt make a splash in the States until contending at the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst.Its a testament to Koepkas adaptability and raw talent that he can handle the heights of Crans-Montana as well as the slopes of Shinnecock Hills or rough of Nine Bridges. And as the scene shifts to China next week, it highlights the global nature of todays game and the fact that the best in the world can rise to the occasion on any continent. - Will Gray
On the resurgence of American women ...American women are on a nice roll again. Danielle Kangs victory Sunday at the Buick LPGA Shanghai was the third by an American over the last five events. Plus, Annie Park and Marina Alex, emerging American talents looking for their second victories this season, tied for second. So did American Brittany Altomare. Two years ago, Americans won just twice, their fewest victories in a single season in LPGA history. Overall, women from the United States have won seven times this season.The Americans are making their move with Stacy Lewis on maternity leave and with Lexi Thompson, the highest ranked American in the world, still looking for her first victory this year. Yes, the South Koreans have won nine times this season, but with four LPGA events remaining in 2018 the Americans actually have a chance to be the winningest nation in womens golf this year. With all the grief theyve received the last few years, that would be a significant feat. - Randall Mell

It's a 21 day cycle, 3 days of chemo, 18 days off. The first chemo is done and we are on day 5 of the 18 off. Yesterday we brought her home from the hospital after a 10 day stay that had so many ups and downs I finally slept last night for six hours. My mom had no side effects from the chemo, except for the mouth sores.
