How to use highlight in a sentence?

  1. Nick Faldo:

    That sent a message to me, there are certain holes not the obvious ones you've got to really gut it out at times. It's not the highlight holes. It's the seventh and eighth that are just as important as holing the one on 10 or what you do on 18. It's gutting out putts or shots that would miss the highlight reel.

  2. Patrick Warren:

    The trolls would create and highlight the most divisive threads in the conversation around these hashtags, with an aim of dragging the conversation in that more divisive direction.

  3. Earl Woods:

    I tried to hang in there and I tried to come back and play the great game of golf again, ive been lucky enough to have the opportunity to do it again, and ... the amazing Masters experience that I just had a few weeks ago is probably the highlight of what Ive accomplished so far in my life on the golf course.

  4. Robert MacIntyre:

    Highlight of the week has to be holing a 15-20-footer on 18 there. The hair is standing on the back of your neck when that putt went in, unfortunately that putt wasn't to win the Open but it's put me in good position for the future.

  5. Bakari Sellers:

    I want to highlight the disrespect to this family, i want to highlight the broken system of justice we have in this country. As we're going through this process, we told the families they would have their attorneys in there as some comfort… We went back and forth and I just want to say I've never been talked to like I was talked to in there.
