The Open Championship has given fans plenty of carnage to look at the past two days. Despite the nasty weather and high scores, plenty of sharp outfits still existed. With the fourth and final major here, it is only fitting to present the best-dressed golfers at the tournament's midway point. To make this week extra special, we also included the five worst-dressed.

Shane Lowry has shouldered the blame after he lost his cool with an overzealous cameraman during the second round of The Open. Lowry was coasting on Friday at Royal Troon but his round was briefly derailed by what transpired on the par-4 11th hole. The 2019 champion golfer of the...

TROON, Scotland (AP) — Royal Troon weather rarely cooperates, so when it’s good don’t waste it. Thriston Lawrence didn’t. Neither did Sam Burns. They cashed in on tranquil conditions early Saturday afternoon at the British Open — before the rain came — to become serious contenders for the claret jug.

Shane Lowry's opening 5-under 66 may have been lower, but his second-round 69 might be the better effort. Reaching 7 under at the 2024 Open Championship, the Irishman grabbed the solo lead at Royal Troon and now firmly stands as the man to beat heading into the weekend in Scotland.

If you were to ask the average golf fan which PGA Tour player holds the longest current streak of made cuts at majors, you'd likely receive a few potential guesses. Is it World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler? Xander Schauffele, perhaps?  How about names like Collin Morikawa or Patrick ...

What felt like a two-horse race for most of the second round turned into one as Lauren Stephenson opened a 4-shot lead with just 18 holes left to play. Kaleigh Telfer and Maria Bohorquez are the closest to the 36-hole leader, with Telfer joining Stephenson in the final pairing after a 6-under 66 in round two. Telfer and Bohorquez will need to mount a monumental comeback to chase down Stephenson, who has been scarily consistent over the first two days.

The combat sports world is abuzz with anticipation as the highly-anticipated showdown between social media sensation-turned boxer, Jake Paul, and former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) standout — and current Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) superstar — Mike Perry, goes down tonight (Sat., July 20, 2024) from inside Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., streaming live on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV).

Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry: Tale of the Tape

The 2024 Open Championship enters its final 18 holes with one of the world's best courses playing host to perhaps the most competitive major championship of the season. Royal Troon has proven to be a beast across the first three rounds, which has set the stage for what should be an undoubted tough test Sunday in Scotland. This as the grounds are filled to capacity with some of the top golfers in the game battling it out to claim the Claret Jug at the 152nd playing of the sport's oldest tournament.

LeBron James is a special kind of talent. Whenever he decides to retire, there’s no doubt he’ll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, leaving his imprint on the game. With his skill set, it’s tough for opponents to match up with him one-on-one, but that hasn’t stopped many of his rivals throughout his career from reverting to bothersome tactics. The King attracts pests and on the court that’s brought a ton of beef.

A number of golf fans on X seemed to be up in arms with a throwaway comment made by LIV Golf pro Joaquin Niemann after he battled back to make the cut at The Open. Niemann, who won on the DP World Tour earlier this year to cement his place in the field at Royal Troon, was playing some steady links golf until he came undone at the Postage Stamp on Friday.

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...

Shane Lowry stumbles out of Open lead, round unravels after ‘The Postage Stamp’

Every year, we get a breakout offensive or defensive coordinator that shoots to the top of every moribund franchise’s want list as a head coaching candidate. In 2022, then-Ravens’ defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald flipped a Ravens’ defense around that led to him getting a head coaching job after the 2023 season. Houston Texans OC Bobby Slowik graduated from the school of Kyle Shanahan and turned a baseless offense with a rookie QB into one of the most fun offenses we saw in the NFL last year.

In the first half of the 2023 NFL season, it looked for all the world that the Philadelphia Eagles were headed back to another deep playoff run, and perhaps another Super Bowl. The sting of losing Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs in an agonizingly close fashion (38-35, with the winning field goal coming with eight seconds left in the game) was supposed to push this impressively talented team over the top.

Tiger Woods, in offering a scouting report on Royal Troon’s famed Postage Stamp par-3, had two pieces of advice. “It doesn’t get any more simple than that,” the 15-time major winner said. For sure. But things are easier said than swung on Troon’s 8th. (Sorry.) It stretches...

‘Playing Ping-Pong’: LIV pro is 15 yards away at Open, then takes 7 shots

Martin Slumbers, the CEO of the R&A, tried to warn us on Wednesday. “The golf course is ready,” he said. Boy, he wasn’t kidding. For most links golf courses, including many in the Open rota, wind and pot bunkers are the greatest defense. The R&A knew wind was coming this week, so far it has, and it’s been spectacular. The result has been a Royal Troon setup that has been challenging and diabolical while also remaining a very fair test for the game’s best. Troon has wrought particular havoc on those who have been on the wrong side of the draw (Thursday morning/Friday afternoon). Justin Thomas, for example, shot 45 in his opening nine on Friday (but still managed to shoot 78).
