Monday Scramble: Spieth banks, Gomez rallies and beards rule

Fabian Gomez rallies for a stunning victory, Brandt Snedeker comes up just short for the second week in a row, Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson both make headlines without hitting a shot and golfer facial hair comes under scrutiny. All that and more in this week's Aloha edition of Monday Scramble:

Consistency is overrated.

Perhaps taking a page from the book of all-or-nothing countryman Angel Cabrera, Gomez came out of nowhere Sunday to contend at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Seven birdies in a row during the final round can create that type of unexpected opportunity.

Months removed from his maiden PGA Tour victory - and with little form in the interim to suggest a return to the winner's circle was imminent - Gomez made the most of his chance.
