Lost in the tumult of Tom Watson's 2009 The Open is that a 16 year old played with him the first 2 rounds, and finished t13, beating Rory by six. It's been a long & winding road since for Matteo Manassero but he's still just 32, and currently tied for the lead #rbccanadianopen

A worthy and popular champion, as opposed to the woman she beat in #FrenchOpen. Sabalenka did not find grace in defeat. 70 unforced errors on the court and one after: "I think she won the match not because she played incredible, just because I made all those mistakes."

Alcaraz has a lot of Rafa's ganas in him. Saves three match points, wins the fourth in a tiebreak and now Sinner will find out if he has the legs for a fifth set. #FrenchOpen

Rory, who would you like to play with at Oakmont? #USOpen 7:40 a.m. / 1:25 p.m. - Shane Lowry, Ireland; Justin Rose, England; Rory McIlroy, Northern Ireland

Oakmont is just such an unforgiving test. George Duangmanee was an honorable mention All-American at Virginia, has made the cut at a PGA Tour event, beat several Tour pros to get into this #USOpen field, and just shot 86-89, 35 over par. 🤕

Middle East exploding, Putin ignores US peace calls, Minnesota Democrat & her husband assassinated, mass #NoKingsProtest loom, soldiers in the streets, oil futures surging, inflation inevitable, judiciary under siege, but the president is throwing himself a birthday tank parade.

He's not wrong in that a shot that lands near the pin should be considered a good one, but at Oakmont, it's a crapshoot. Often ends up bouncing over the green into thick spinach, and birdie opportunities become 20 footers for par. That said, it's the same for everyone. #USOpen

Influential Philadelphia socialite Elizabeth Willing Powel asked Benjamin Franklin as he emerged on the final day of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarch?" “A republic," Franklin replied. "If you can keep it.”

In 2012, I had 20 pounds on Adam Scott to win The Open at 40/1. I mentioned it to him early in the week. After a heartbreaking press conference, he came over to me. "Hey, Rob, sorry about your bet, mate". That is who he is. You cannot cheer enough for him tomorrow. #USOpen

It's the Open because it's meritocratic. Anyone can win, even a kid weaned on a 9 hole par 3 muni, who had to walk-on at San Diego State, who had to put up his own cash to play the mini tours, and who was never sure he was quite good enough until he showed himself he was #USOpen

How different #Iran narrative would have been if the UK/US did not depose its first elected leader in 1953 (for nationalizing oil). Mosaddegh was replaced by the puppet shah, so despised that Iranians preferred the feral mullahs in 1979, exchanging one corrupt mafia for another.

Eugenio Chacarra is the first #LIVGolf winner to tee it up in a #PGATour event at #ScottishOpen "On LIV, nothing changes, there is only money. It doesn’t matter if you finish 30th or first ... I’m not a guy who wants more money." Easier to say when you took the money.

Asked by The Sklar Brothers on Jim Rome if Scheffler is Tiger-level dominant? In his 144 #PGATour starts, Scottie has 16 wins; historically amazing. (Jack won 16 in 101 starts). Tiger? First 144 starts: 46 wins. Forty-six! 🤯 To compare any golfer to Tiger Woods, not a fair fight.

"Tiger wouldn't dominate today". As if peak Tiger couldn't handle Cantlay? Rory? Rahm? Scottie obviously would get his licks in but here's who finished 2nd most to TW: Els (5), Phil, Vijay, Furyk, DL3 (4). 200+ combined wins worldwide. Add Monty, DD, Retief ... Hall of Famers

Secretariat with a Swoosh. Charles Howell was the Next Big Thing. Estimates he lost 75 straight times at Isleworth to Tiger. "Getting beat by him so many times, you're just waiting for it. It's kind of like a whipped dog; you know it's coming." The pros know best how great he was

One solution to slow play in golf! How drunk do you need to be to slow play then shoot your mouth off to ex-NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky? Gotta love Tarnasky's BANG! 😂
