Tommy Fleetwood Sends Message About Public Golf Course Which Aspiring Players Should Visit
It's not very common to check in for your tee time at a public golf course and have Tommy Fleetwood teeing off ahead of you. But that's exactly what happened when the seven-time DP World Tour winner teed it up at Bethpage State Park earlier this month to participate in golf content creator Grant Horvat's YouTube challenge, "Can I Beat Tommy Fleetwood if I Start 5 Under Par?"

A small gallery formed to watch Fleetwood's buttery swing as the pair teed off on the first hole of Bethpage Red. The over-hourlong video documents the match, with Fleetwood's charm and humor on full display. Between shots the pair discuss topics ranging from golf tips, friendships on tour, what type of shot precedes a "floppy arm," and how Tommy developed his patented sawed-off finish.

Coming down the 18th hole, Fleetwood praised the Bethpage Red course, saying, "It's a really fun course to play. If you played this course every day, you'd be great at shaping the ball, you'd be a really good wedge player."
The 7,092-yard, par-70, A.W. Tillinghast-designed Red course ranked 65th on Golf.com's 2024-25 Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S. list, ranking higher than PGA Tour sites TPC Harding Park and Bay Hill.

Bethpage State Park is the home of the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup, which will be held on the Black course. If you're making a bucket list golf trip to play Bethpage Black, make sure to add one more day and play the Red course as well.
Tommy Fleetwood is seeking his first PGA Tour win this weekend and holds a three-shot lead after Saturday's third round at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos out of Saturday's lineup vs. Yankees with left knee injury
Both the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees will be without their regular right fielders for Saturday's matchup at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge is out of the Yankees' lineup with a right elbow injury that's made it difficult for him to throw from the outfield. The team is currently waiting for imaging results. And while it doesn't appear to be as potentially serious, Nick Castellanos will sit out Saturday's game due to a left knee injury suffered in Friday's 12-5 win over the Yankees. Castellanos jammed his left knee while running toward the right field wall to make the final out, according to Phillies manager Rob Thomson. The Phillies' right fielder batted 2-for-5 in the Phillies' win and is hitting .270/.311/.434 with 23 doubles, 13 home runs and 56 RBI. He's third among Philadelphia's regulars in homers and second in RBI.

High School Football Player, 15, Dies After Suffering Medical Emergency at Practice: 'Heartbreaking Moment'
"Mikah was more than just a talented athlete. He was a spark — full of energy, compassion and joy," the teen's family said A high school teenager in Georgia is dead after experiencing a medical emergency during football practice earlier this week, according to local news outlets. The Dekalb County School District confirmed the 'unexpected passing' of 15-year-old Mikah King, a student at Arabia Mountain High School, who collapsed during football practice on Tuesday, July 22, according to NBC affiliate WXIA-TV, WANF-TV and Fox affiliate WAGA-TV. He was taken to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead hours later, according to WANF-TV. "The entire King family is in our thoughts and prayers, and we ask that you keep them lifted in love and comfort as they navigate this heartbreaking moment,' Arabia Mountain High School principal Tanya J. Mason said in a letter obtained by WXIA-TV. The school district did not say what may have led to the medical emergency or if the student had any prior health conditions. Mason asked the school district in her letter to 'refrain from sharing unconfirmed details' about King's death and shared that they have made grief counselors available to students. 'Our primary goal is to ensure that our students feel supported emotionally during this incredibly difficult time,' Mason said. 'Counselors will continue to be available in the coming days for any student or staff member who may need support.' Students at Arabia Mountain High School told WANF-TV that King played as an offensive guard and defensive tackle in football and played at Southwest DeKalb High School. Jordan Hollie, one of King's best friends, described the teen to the outlet as 'a generally funny, goofy person,.' 'He loved [football] as much as I did,' Hollie told WANF-TV. 'He was my practice partner. He would push me to be better.' King's family shared in a GoFundMe that the 15-year-old's "sudden loss has left an immeasurable void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him."
