Jon Rahm would not typically be considered an underdog, but when you four (4) putt the first fole and spot the field two (2) strokes, you become an underdog, if only temporarily. What he did next is pretty remarkable.
Seven (7) birdies and an eagle over the final 17 holes is a hell of a turnaround. It’s sick, really.
Well done, Jon. To acknowledge the great turnaround, we’re sending you a dozen of our award-winning golf hats. Maybe you pop one on tomorrow and shoot a 63?
Hat tip to Viktor Hovland, as well, how scrambled to par 18 and hold on to a share of the lead.
Cam Smith and his mullett do not feel pressure like the rest of us. He just put on an impressive display on the back 9 at St. Andrews to win the British Open and set a bunch of records in the process.
1st person to post two (2) rounds of 64 in a major
Lowest final 9 in a closing round (30)
Lowest final round to win a (64) major
Lowest score relative to par after two rounds
12 putts the final 9 holes and 6 one putts. Just a totally unbelievable performance by Cam Smith. We’re going to ship you a bunch of our hats. You won’t need them, of course, but the pressure clearly got to lots of players. You might pass one on to Viktor Hovland and Rory McIlroy,
