@KenBrownGolf @TheOpen Interesting that the markings and maple leaf indicate that it’s a RCAF spitfire. I asked the R&A media dept about it at the time but couldn’t get any further info. Super cool though. 🇨🇦🤝🇬🇧

Scottie Scheffler says he wants to play in New Zealand some day because of the views from Lord of the Rings which....is very fair.

The lasting image of the 154th Open Championship will either be a) Ryan Fox arms raised b) Bryson’s field trip with R&A, or c) shirtless English dudes walking down the street with brand new desk fans

4 trains from Southport to Sandwich were worth it.

The walk into town to Barbican Beer Garden made for great recovery.

Here for the #Hagen54 on Thursday. Tee off to follow Walter Hagen’s legendary day playing 18 at Royal St. George’s, Royal Cinque Ports and Prince’s in 1 day.

@JasonSobelGolf @BetMGM Good course for Conners

Ryan Fox is bringing the Claret Jug home in the overhead bin 🙌

Imagine going to get your bags after the flight and they’re just sitting next to one of the most iconic trophies in sport.

Congrats @ryanfoxgolfer on a tremendous week 🇳🇿

Good news: My incredible run of cancelled flights is over

Bad news: My train is cancelled.

Conners fires 67 to close major season on streak only Scheffler and Schauffele can beat

Corey Conners finishes The Open at -4 and has now made 13 consecutive major cuts. Last missed cut was 2023 U.S. Open at LACC.

Only players with longer active streaks are Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.

[Jon McCarthy @jonmccarthySUN]

Conners gets it to -4 with one hole to go in his major season.

18 is a beast and Corey said yesterday the best thing about it is he only has to play it one more time this week.

[Jon McCarthy @jonmccarthySUN]

@ryanmouquegolf It gets the spine to do what? I can’t quite make it out.

[Jon McCarthy @jonmccarthySUN]

Back to UK things I don’t get. One stall in the men’s washroom in the media centre has a sticker on the door. It reads: “Male sanitary unit available in this cubicle.”

There is a black plastic bin beside the toilet. Not looking.

The best part about this tournament — other than player/rules official late night field trips — is watching guys turn around four times in a bunker before they figure out what peril they prefer.

DP World Tour board member Monty tells Toronto Sun that he’s throwing his support behind keeping national opens as Opens, and pushing for them to have bigger (rather than smaller) spotlight in golf’s upcoming new format.

Obviously disappointed with the ruling. I don’t agree with it, but it is what it is. This fires me up. Onto the weekend. Let’s get it.
