It’s Moving Day at The Open Championship for all but one sedentary fan. Cameras caught this potentially browned-out man having himself a Saturday snooze on the browned-out grasses of Carnoustie: Tiger’s done for the day and apparently so is this guy#TheOpen pic.twitter.com/WPRixYLavl — Golf Central (@GolfCentral) July 21, 2018 Browned out.

Tiger Woods started the third round of The Open at even par, having made seven birdies and seven bogeys over the first 36 holes at Carnoustie. Following three pars to start on Saturday, Woods went on a birdie binge. No. 1 came with this putt at the par-4 fourth. No. 2 with this two-putt at […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Justin Rose needed to sink a 14-foot putt on the final hole Friday just to make the cut on the number at The Open. Freewheeling when he came to the course Saturday, Rose tied the lowest score ever recorded in an Open at Carnoustie. Entering the weekend nine shots off the lead, […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Eighteen major champions made the cut at The Open and will be playing the weekend at Carnoustie, including 60-year-old ageless wonder Bernhard Langer, and both major champs so far this year, Patrick Reed and Brooks Koepka. Twenty-four-year-old Gavin Green will be first off solo Saturday at 4:15 a.m. ET. Reed and Rhys […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Guess whose putter is starting to heat up again at a major? Even with a few wayward shots Friday at Carnoustie, Jordan Spieth made a significant climb up the leaderboard in the second round, firing a 4-under 67 to move just three shots off the lead. Spieth showed his trademark grit in […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Before, during and after the Fourth of July, Rickie Fowler missed a few appointments with his razor. He arrived in the United Kingdom for last week’s Scottish Open still unshaved and he tied for sixth place. Fowler, like most golfers, can give in to superstition, so he’s decided to keep the caveman […]
With a handful of the pre-championship favorites exiting early, there is a new odds-on leader entering the third round of The Open at Carnoustie. While Zach Johnson and Kevin Kisner share the 36-hole lead, it’s England’s Tommy Fleetwood who leads the betting pack at 11/2. Fleetwood begins the third round one shot off the lead. […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Pat Perez’s major record is infinitely forgettable. In 24 Grand Slam starts he has exactly one top-10 finish, more than a decade ago at the PGA Championship. “Terrible,” Perez said when asked to sum up his major career. “I won sixth [place]. Didn’t even break top 5.” It’s strange, however, that his […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Jordan Spieth described Monday’s “ceremony” to return the claret jug to the keepers of the game’s oldest championship as anything but enjoyable. For the last 12 months the silver chalice has been a ready reminder of what he was able to overcome and accomplish in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, a beacon of […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Jordan Spieth begins his quest for a second consecutive claret jug and fourth major overall at 9:45 a.m. ET Sunday at Carnoustie, playing alongside Xander Schauffele.
