LIV Golf star Sergio Garcia snaps driver in frustration in final round of Open Championship
Sergio Garcia had a tough final round at the Open Championship on Sunday. He shot a final round 68 and finished tied for 34th with Aaron Rai, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Lee Westwood. He was 3-under for the tournament. However, Garcia did something those other golfers likely didn't do – finish his round without a driver. The LIV Golf star snapped his driver on the second hole of his round and finished without it. He still managed to birdie the hole on his way to the 68. He had five birdies on the day to pair along with his two bogeys. Players are barred from replacing their clubs in the middle of the round. He opened up about breaking the club after the round. "To be totally honest, I didn't feel like I did that much on the 2nd tee," he said, via "Obviously, I didn't hit a good drive, and I kind of — I didn't smack it straight down. I kind of like swiped it back. I've done that 50 times, and I've never broken a club. The shaft just snapped in half, and I was surprised. I wasn't trying to break it, and I was actually surprised when I saw that — because usually, if it breaks, it breaks by the neck, and it broke in the middle of the shaft. "I don't know, maybe the shaft had a little thing there because I didn't feel like with what I did it should have broken, but that's what it was, and then I got some good practice when I threw it." Garcia's 34th-place finish was the best of the year in the major tournaments. He missed the cut at the Masters and was tied for 68th at the PGA Championship.

Theegala misses cut at Portrush, but happy to be back from injury
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Portrush (N Ireland), Jul 19 (PTI) Golfer Sahith Theegala may have missed the cut at the British Open but he is happy to be back in action after a two-month layoff due to injuries. Theegala (75-74), who made an early exit at Royal Portrush, had suffered injuries earlier this year that saw him play indifferently and miss a few cuts. He withdrew from the Truist Championship and took a two-month rest to allow his body to recover. 'It felt good playing once again. Getting healthy after the 'oblique' pain and the neck injury was the top priority. After a good 2024, there were high (hopes), but injuries were frustrating," said Theegala, on a day when Indo-British golfer Aaron Rai (69-72) and fellow Indian-American Akshay Bhatia (73-68) made the cut in T-26th place. For Rai, it was a fall from T-10 in the first round, while Bhatia, who had a great start in the second round with three starting birdies, shot 68 despite a series of late bogeys. Despite that, Bhatia moved up from T-70 to T-26 for his maiden cut at the Open. Rai, who has made all four cuts this year, made his seventh Major cut in a row. He had a best of T-19 in 2021, and interestingly his best at the US Open is also T-19 in 2024. Theegala said he will play a lot of events in the Fall season to get his form back. He also hopes to tee up at Tiger Woods' event, the Hero World Challenge. 'I have an exemption into next year because of making the Tour Championship, but I also hope to get back my rhythm and see if I can get to some early Signature events. A few good results or even a win, maybe," he said. He also hoped that Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai do well over the weekend at Portrush.

Here is what a UCL winner asked me about Celtic and Rangers
The Ayr United manager and assistant played alongside the Real Madrid and Spain legend as well as pros Aaron Rai and Eugenio Chacarra at the Genesis Scottish Open Pro-Am. It was a successful day's golfing for the Old Firm duo as they rubbed shoulders with a Champions League winner. And while there wasn't much football chat, there was one thing puzzling Raul - why the pair were pals when one played for Celtic and the other Rangers. Read more: Whittaker revealed: 'When we mentioned [playing for] Celtic, Rangers, he was almost like: How are you friends? "But then I explained we obviously came through together at Hibs for the six years we spent together. He was a gentleman all the way around. It was a pleasure to play a round with him." Brown added: 'He was a great lad. He spoke really well all the way around, very friendly, so was his family, also his lad being on the bag (caddying) as well. "He talked a little bit about his career, but he was more interested in golf and it was good just to get an honest chat all the way around. There wasn't too much football chat, shall we say.'
