LIV Golf is in Tulsa, Oklahoma this week and invited Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault to play in the pro-am on Thursday. Based on his opening tee shot, it’s safe to say Daigneault was a bit nervous on the first tee.

With Daigneault being a fellow lefty, his heart was undoubtedly pumping standing over the tee shot.

Much was made of Arch Manning’s debut for Texas during the program’s annual spring game back on April 15—and not in a good way. The highly-touted freshman quarterback struggled in his first college exhibition, completing just five of his 13 passes for 30 yards. 
While appearing on 105.3 The Fan on Saturday, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the game and Manning’s development as he continues to evaluate his signal-callers.
“He’s on the right trajectory that he should be on,” Sarkisian said. “He’s a true freshman in college. He really should still be in high school.

After pushing his tees shot well-right on No. 12, he took a close look at his driver head looking for a potential crack. He was able to make par on the hole, but a similar scenario unfolded on No. 13.
