11 Revealing photos from the Travelers Championship

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the Travelers Championship, a.k.a. the U.S. Open hangover.

Surprisingly, the field this week in Connecticut is quite strong, boasting names like Bubba, Sergio and Patrick Reed. All three will look to build momentum after a week that proved frustrating for most players not named Jordan Spieth.

It’s time to collect ourselves from the U.S. Open excitement and dive back into some photos. If you missed this week’s photos from the Travelers, see all the galleries here.

The putting struggles are real when..

You employ a putting grip that looks like you’re restraining a live chicken, and your putter head looks like a half-pipe at the Winter Olympic Snowboard competition.

Skadoosh.

At least I think that’s the reference.

John Rahmbo

John Rambo, played by Sylvester Stallone, was one bad dude. But when you think of Rambo toting a machine gun, golf is just about the last thing that comes to mind.

But this kid — John Rahm, who won the 2015 Ben Hogan award, which is presented annually to the top NCAA men’s golfer — is a beast. It’s tough to live up to a “Rahmbo” nickname, but he pulls it off. At the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open, he finished T5 as a 20-year-old amateur.

It’s good to see Sergio laughing after his Twitter brawl with Chambers Bay’s greens

There’s nothing funny about bumpy greens. Right, Billy?

Jason Day snapped out of vertigo with a leg tattoo

Oh, that’s not Jason Day? Carry on.

The least time-efficient putting drill ever

Takes an hour just to get all the tees in the ground.

Vijay’s bamboo forest range set-up

Is that a bamboo stalk he’s using to help with his swing plane? Only a Fijian range-a-holic would pull that move.

No caddy complaints this week

If there’s any rainstorms, the PGA Tour provided caddies with umbrellas at every tee box. You can’t say the Tour never sympathizes with its caddies.

So, did you want that R15 430, or not?

0d2083bdae78809ccf5c7862d47384b4

The R15 430 is made with forward CG for a more penetrating, lower-spinning ball flight, but the lead tape on the rear of the club works to offset that, and move CG rearward. Weird, contradictory move.

Who knew “The Boss” was a gear head?

Represent the U.S. while sticking a wedge? I’m in.

“Stars & Stripes Show.” Very creative. Like a Wheel of Fortune puzzle from the Before-and-After category.

Hey Pat (Sajak), do you approve?

Guess not.
