Hey associates and completely satisfied Friday from the U.S. Open! I began my day with a beautiful 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 may 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 in opposition to getting a reduce like the remainder of the fellows, however now I’m questioning if I missed out on a “Like Mike” form of state of affairs the place Montanez chopping my hair would’ve let to me enjoying golf at knowledgeable stage. I assume we’ll by no means know. Anyway, shout out to Montanez for being so type. 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 sport of charades.
Think about wanting 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 assume?” I can’t think about the stress of being on DeChambeau’s bag. Think about handing your man Demaret since you bought it confused with Mr. Ward? If you happen to don’t know your main championship historical past, it might simply occur. This complete factor provides one other stage of complexity to DeChambeau’s sport, which I shouldn’t actually be shocked by.
I assume I’m extra in awe of the entire thing, and now I actually need to know what his driver and putter are referred to 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 perfect gamers on the earth. We might all relate to Nelly Korda for a short second when she made a ten on the par-3 twelfth gap on the U.S. Ladies’s Open at Lancaster just a few weeks in the past, and the opposite World No. 1 supplied us all one other “similar to us” second on Friday at Pinehurst No. 2.
Okay, so Scottie Scheffler‘s “worst golf shot” is certainly loads 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 recently 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 beautiful memento!
Pinehurst stored the custom going for gamers within the discipline on the U.S. Open on Thursday and bought inventive when requested about how they cope with holes-in-one.
I’m wondering what number of extra deuce cash might be given out this week in comparison with a traditional week at Pinehurst No. 2. Fewer golfers — however these ones are fairly good.
