Whats up pals and completely happy Friday from the U.S. Open! I began my day with a stunning stroll round Pinehurst No. 2 after which went with my coworkers to satisfy Anthony Montanez, the person behind the entire buzzworthy (sorry) haircuts on the course this week.
You’ll be able to learn all about Montanez’s week right here.
I couldn’t assist however to get a photograph within the very spot that the entire professionals are getting their trims this week.
I made a decision towards getting a reduce like the remainder of the blokes, however now I’m questioning if I missed out on a “Like Mike” form of scenario the place Montanez reducing my hair would’ve let to me taking part in golf at an expert stage. I suppose we’ll by no means know. Anyway, shout out to Montanez for being so variety. I can see why the gamers belief this barber a lot!
Bryson’s gear confession
One other main means one other alternative for Bryson DeChambeau to go viral. Simply once I thought the 2020 U.S. Open champion couldn’t get much more attention-grabbing, I realized that he named every of his golf equipment. They learn like a mix of a category roster at a Montessori faculty and a recreation of charades.
Think about trying your caddie within the eye and saying, “Hey, are you able to hand me Mr. Ward?” or “I’m between a Juniper and a Tin Cup … what do you suppose?” I can’t think about the stress of being on DeChambeau’s bag. Think about handing your man Demaret since you obtained it confused with Mr. Ward? Should you don’t know your main championship historical past, it might simply occur. This complete factor provides one other stage of complexity to DeChambeau’s recreation, which I shouldn’t actually be shocked by.
I suppose I’m extra in awe of the entire thing, and now I actually wish to know what his driver and putter are known as.
Scheffler’s relatable second
It’s not fairly often the World No. 1 is relatable, however one thing in regards to the U.S. Open brings out the human aspect of even the easiest gamers on the earth. We might all relate to Nelly Korda for a quick second when she made a ten on the par-3 twelfth gap on the U.S. Ladies’s Open at Lancaster a couple of weeks in the past, and the opposite World No. 1 supplied us all one other “identical to us” second on Friday at Pinehurst No. 2.
Okay, so Scottie Scheffler‘s “worst golf shot” is certainly lots higher than the worst shot the remainder of us have all hit, however who amongst us hasn’t mentioned one thing comparable after hitting a poor shot?
Pinehurst No. 2’s enjoyable custom
I only in the near past found Pinehurst No. 2’s long-standing custom that if a participant makes a two on any gap on the course, they will take their scorecard to “The Deuce,” a restaurant on the resort, and get a deuce coin. What a stunning souvenir!
Pinehurst saved the custom going for gamers within the area on the U.S. Open on Thursday and obtained artistic when requested about how they take care of holes-in-one.
I’m wondering what number of extra deuce cash will probably be given out this week in comparison with a common week at Pinehurst No. 2. Fewer golfers — however these ones are fairly good.
