Bryson DeChambeau was among the players receiving a personal message from American Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley at Royal Portrush this week.

On Friday at the 2025 British Open, eyes tend to go the top of the leaderboard but also to the projected cut line.

Temper again got the best of Sergio Garcia. On Royal Portrush’s par-5 second, the Spaniard sent his tee shot soaring to the left. The swing was barely completed when the former Masters champ recoiled,

So, this was weird: Rory McIlroy, playing his second shot from the rough on the 11th at Royal Portrush in Round 3 of the British Open, somehow managed to unearth another ball in mid-swing. The second ball was apparently embedded in the ground a few inches ahead of McIlroy's ball, and popped into the air as McIlroy's shot flew greenward.

The Northern Ireland native picked up a ball from the thick rough, held it out in front of him and burst out laughing. While hitting a shot, he unearthed another ball.

SHOT OF THE DAY: John Parry made the first hole-in-one at this British Open, an 8-iron on the par-3 13th hole. SAVE OF THE DAY: Scheffler was buried in deep rough behind the 11th green when he chopped it out to 10 feet and made par.

Bryson DeChambeau was put on the clock on Saturday during the third round of the 153rd British Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club.
