Tiger Woods walked into Open locker room, pro says. Then he ‘flexed’

Tiger Woods turned heads at the British Open by walking into the locker room and showing off his muscles. Pro golfer Matt Fitzpatrick was among those shocked by Woods’ boldness. “I saw Tiger walking around the locker room yesterday, and he was just flexing,” Fitzpatrick said. “He was like, ‘Look at these guns.'” Woods’ display of bravado was likely meant to intimidate his opponents, but Fitzpatrick wasn’t fazed. “I was just like, ‘Whatever, man,” Fitzpatrick said. Woods’ show of strength may have been motivated by his recent struggles on the golf course. He has not won a major tournament since 2008 and has in recent years been plagued by injuries.

Pro goes through 4 caddies in 10 holes at Canadian Open

Rory McIlroy’s Canadian Open campaign has taken a bizarre turn, with the four-time major winner going through four caddies in just 10 holes of the opening round.

McIlroy began the day with his regular caddie, Harry Diamond, but after just five holes, Diamond left the course due to illness. McIlroy then played three holes with his coach, Michael Bannon, before switching to a local amateur caddie for the final two holes.

The constant caddy changes appeared to affect McIlroy’s game, as he struggled to an opening-round 76. He is now tied for 145th place, 12 shots behind early leader Justin Thomas.

McIlroy said after the round that he was “frustrated” by the situation, but he was hopeful that he could turn things around in the remaining three rounds.
