Happy Wednesday. Royal Liverpool Golf Club detonated a WWII artillery shell discovered beneath the 13-time Open Championship venue, releasing wild video of the controlled explosion beside one of Hoylake's famed greens. During WWII, coastal links courses were converted to military sites with radar systems, barbed wire, and live mines to defend against Nazi invasion. In 1944, controlled explosions removed mines leaving the course in tatters, but this shell evaded detection for 80 years. No one was hurt and damage was minimal. This isn't Gil Hanse's links "restoration"—it's proof links golf remains the best golf. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

⛳️ Q School finalist cried leaving his house

Marcelo Rozo admitted he "cried before leaving my house this morning" ahead of Q-School's final round, telling himself to "see the emotions, recognize them, hug them and then just move on." The 36-year-old Colombian journeyman wrote "PGA Tour member '26" on his shower door that morning, then fired 69 to clinch one of five tour cards after a decade chasing the dream. "It was the biggest round of my golfing career, but I cried it out." His vulnerability and confidence show elite golfers are human beings conquering inherent fallibilities. ⬇️

👀 Another crazy Tiger story

Tiger Woods rebuilt his swing after winning the 1997 Masters by 12 shots because he "saw about 10 flaws" and felt he'd "gotten away with murder," wanting to elevate his bad shots rather than perfect his best ones. "I'm going to hit some serious foul balls, and I need to get them in position where I can compete every single time I teed it up," Woods explained. The two-year overhaul under Butch Harmon led to 7 of 11 majors between 1999-2002. Genius wasn't chasing perfection—it was broadening his window of tolerance. ⬇️

🤔 The worst possible penalty

Ben Kohles accidentally moved his ball while clearing debris on hole 8, receiving a one-shot penalty that contributed to a double bogey dropping him from T-1 to T-9 with only five PGA Tour cards available. The 54-hole co-leader then found water on hole 9 for another double, ending his hopes of earning back his tour card after finishing 145th in FedEx Cup standings. The four-time Korn Ferry Tour winner shot 75 to finish T-29 but earned full Korn Ferry status for 2026. Brutal timing for the worst possible penalty. ⬇️
