Billy Horschel is close to changing the course of his career and becoming a major champion at The Open.
Major championship victories define a golfer’s legacy, so it’s no wonder why Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods rank as the two greatest golfers of all time. Nicklaus won 18, while Woods captured 15, with his most recent coming at Augusta National in 2019.
Billy Horschel, meanwhile, has never won a major and has never really come close to doing so.

The WNBA All-Star Game is happening in Phoenix this weekend which means it’s the perfect time for some softball, fluffy orange-carpet interviews. Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum will be on the WNBA All-Star team when it takes on the US National Team, and before the game got started she got in on some of these fluff, nonsense interviews.
ESPN set up shop and decided to ask players what their hidden talent is.
I don’t know why ESPN decided to ask the type of questions that people ask during ice-breaker activities on syllabus day. Also, 99.

Daniel Brown became a fan favorite at The 152nd Open Championship Saturday with spectators and the internet. While playing Hole No. 18 in the third round with 36-hole leader Shane Lowry, Brown was seen puffing ciggies and taking selfies with fans at Royal Troon Golf Club. If this can make you famous, I wish the world saw me during my annual trip to Las Vegas for the NFL Kickoff Game. 
Rainy and windy conditions at Troon led to carnage Saturday. One of my picks to win The Open, Joaquin Niemann, had a quintuple bogey on the 11th hole in the third round.

Shane Lowry had control of The Open Championship until he arrived at ‘The Postage Stamp.’ His round went haywire from there.
Shane Lowry entered Saturday’s round of the Open Championship with a three-shot lead but walked off the golf course trailing by three. Royal Troon’s conditions finally got the best of him.
He carded a 6-over 77 to drop to 1-under total, plummeting him to solo ninth on the leaderboard.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler struggled on the greens, yet he remains in contention for his first Claret Jug at Royal Troon.
Scottie Scheffler did not make a single putt over eight feet on Saturday at Royal Troon, yet the World No. 1 is two back of 54-hole leader Billy Horschel at The Open Championship.
He is lurking, mainly because of his incredible play from tee to green, which was on full display at the brutal par-3 17th.

Team USA continues its preparation for a run at a fifth straight gold medal in men’s basketball.

It’s been almost two years since the Philadelphia 76ers announced plans to build a privately funded arena with a price tag of $1.3 billion in downtown Philadelphia.
However, that plan hasn’t exactly worked as they had hoped, with it drawing a lot of pushback from those who feel it would bring more than tax revenue, and now there’s a report that they could be considering a move to the other side of the Delaware River where they’d set up shop in Camden New Jersey.
According to ROI-NJ.

The Open Championship is known for links golf, pot bunkers and its classic yellow scoreboards. Oh, and weather. Lots of weather.
Well Saturday at Royal Troon delivered a classic Open Championship round, with brutal conditions forcing players into awkward lies, wild, off-target shots, and even unreachable par fours on a nearly impossible back nine. That’s not an exaggeration; Dustin Johnson told the media after his one-over round that the back nine might be the toughest stretch in golf.

Fans made Daniel Brown go viral in the third round of The Open as he gave his best Charley Hull impression by smoking a cigarette.
Daniel Brown continues to be the Cinderella story of the 152nd Open Championship. On Saturday, he not only kept himself in contention but stole the hearts of many fans with one simple but relatable act.
Brown channeled his fellow Englishwoman, Charley Hull, and lit a cigarette while walking up the 18th hole.
