“In those moments, the unprompted voice-cracking over a FaceTime call while explaining a final round 75… the dejected pressing of refresh for three hours to see just how close to 60th place you can wind up… they don’t matter anymore.” https://t.co/SjgnOEta8d

“She’s damaged the hole there!”

Meghan MacLaren hits the flagstick with an incredible approach 😮

Sometimes I can kind of see why England were trying to just let Harry Brook play test cricket as if it was white ball cricket

Really enjoyed the @NoLayingUp preview pod for @AIGWomensOpen… their knowledge on women’s golf is probably second to none in the golf media space and it shines through. Give it a listen if you haven’t already 👌🏼 (still sad not to be at Lytham myself though)

Leonie Harm experienced enough hardship in her youth for many lifetimes.

I sat down with Leonie at the AIG Women's Open, where she explained how an accident that she so nearly didn't survive aged 15 has shaped her life.

This is her inspirational story: https://t.co/KOyzWJAEIL

“I think it’s too simplistic to say that you have to be either really smart or really stupid to be good at this game. I think that cliche only shows that actually, you can be anything, and still find a way to be good at this game.” https://t.co/VYt9ibns1v

Gonna put this here too:

Even though this isn’t really a blog about the Open, I want to give a shout out to all the golf writers who did write about it.
It feels like there is less and less space for thoughtful, written opinion pieces – not just in the golf world, but more generally. Everything has to be bite sized and divisive… and even the media that isn’t – particularly the one form that has grown so much, podcasts, represent a shift in this world away from anything that allows you to be away from a screen, or away from ‘doing’ things. Whether it’s an attention deficit or a capitalist guilt – technology allows us to feel like everything is moving at such a pace that if we aren’t also moving at that pace then we must be behind – carving out time to just sit and engage with something (or someone) for more than a few minutes feels more and more difficult. Going back to golf, I only hope that some of those golf writers can give a share of their talents to covering the women’s game with the same thought. While there might not be a Bryson scale level of content at Lytham next week, there will undoubtedly be stories worthy of real insight.

My Hero. My manager. My friend. Sleep easy Boss 🥲

[Meghan MacLaren @meg_maclaren]

So many golfers, however good they are, struggle to kick the door down when they get that close to it. That was unreal from Fox 😍

[Meghan MacLaren @meg_maclaren]

Not the most important part of this story but this is the point at tournaments normally when they then tell you the range is closed

and you want to rip some poor innocent volunteers head off

[Meghan MacLaren @meg_maclaren]

I never think a manager intends for a team to sit back and defend a lead..
But against Croatia Tuchel brought on Rashford and Saka on when we were 3-2 up, and we won 4-2.
Whyyyyy not give us an outlet 😭

Every performance psychologist everywhere putting their head in their hands hearing Rory Mcilroy, grand slam winner, yell “I’m so bad at golf” to himself mid round
