📰 GOLF STORIES

🤝 Bryson gives the crowd what they want

Bryson DeChambeau just proved why he's golf's undisputed Content King during Tuesday's practice round at Royal Portrush. After hitting an iron off the tee to disappointed groans from the gallery, the two-time U.S. Open champion turned around and headed back to give fans what they wanted. "People go crazy for it, I don't know why," DeChambeau said before grabbing his driver. "Alright, here's the hard one." He then bombed a drive that sent the crowd into a frenzy, even though he didn't look particularly pleased with the result. It's exactly why DeChambeau will leave as the unofficial people's champion regardless of how he finishes on Sunday. ⬇️

💸 Here’s how Viktor Hovland spends his money

Viktor Hovland just revealed his most recent splurges despite earning over $66 million in career winnings, and they're hilariously on-brand for golf's most humble superstar. When asked about his spending habits at Royal Portrush, the Norwegian listed his big purchases: a nice grill "to grill some steak," a Ninja blender because "it cuts it up pretty nicely," and a buddies trip to Marbella. "I try to spend money on things that are fun, like activities," Hovland explained. Sometimes all you need is good steaks in the backyard with friends. ⬇️

🎶 The weird reason Open Championship tee times were pushed back

The Open Championship at Royal Portrush is making an unusual adjustment to Saturday's tee times because of a local marching band parade scheduled for the same evening. The R&A will move up third-round starting times by approximately 15 minutes to avoid conflicts with the Portrush Sons of Ulster parade, which expects thousands of spectators to line the town's streets starting at 8:30 p.m. R&A chief Mark Darbon called it a "slight tweak" to manage the confluence of golf fans and parade-watchers. Reports suggest the R&A offered the loyalist organization £20,000 to postpone their annual event, but the group declined, saying the offer came too late after advertising had already been distributed. The parade organizers expressed understanding about the challenges but emphasized they were always committed to holding their event regardless of the Open's presence. ⬇️
