When beginning his first round at the Hoag Classic on the PGA Tour Champions, John Daly got off to a shockingly bad start.
The two-time major winner took the crowd by surprise when he topped the ball off the tee.

As Daly walks off the tee box disappointed, one fan can be heard saying “I can do that”.
He ended up making a double-bogey on the hole, but ended his round on a positive note, making birdie on four of his last seven holes and ended the day three over par.

The golf-related tweet that has led to Dave Portnoy’s Twitter account being locked

The founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, has recently taken up golf betting. Portnoy bet Scottie Scheffler at last week’s Travelers Championship.
On Sunday, Scheffler was once again in the lead during the final round of the event when protestors stormed the 18th green prior to Scottie and his playing partner Tom Kim, attempting their putts.

Portnoy was irate with the protestors intruding on the golf tournament and voiced his displeasure through his X account.
In a tweet that’s since been taken down, Portnoy wrote, “EXECUTE THESE PROTESTORS!!!!”.
Apparently, the tweet has gotten Portnoy banned from X.
Sources tell me @stoolpresidente account has been locked for tweeting about protesters who disrupted Golf on Sun. I don’t like the guy, but it seems unfair protesters can break the law, but David can’t voice his displeasure? I thought this was a “free speech” platform @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/QOuRlIN5g8

It’s unclear when Portnoy will be reinstated to X.

Charley Hull signed very unusual item for fan at last week’s PGA Championship

LPGA Tour player, Charley Hull, is one of the most popular women’s golfers on the planet. The 28-year-old is a great golfer, but recently has gained popularity due to the fact that openly smokes cigarettes on the golf course during events.

This past weekend, Hull was once involved with a cigarette on the golf course, this time signing one for a fan.

A signed cigarette is quite the souvenir, and I’d imagine that one cigarette that will never be smoked.

On Monday, the popular social media account, “Monday Q Info”, posted an interview with Nick Bienz, who is a Golf Galaxy employee that Monday qualified into this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Nick Bienz has never played a pga tour sanctioned event. He has never played an event bigger than a state open. He pounded 3 beers before the playoff.

Bienz was drinking a few beers prior to the playoff, and managed to get himself in.
If this four minutes doesn’t make you love Mondays I can’t help you.
Nick Bienz works at Golf Galaxy, has never played any pga tour sanctioned event, he is so nervous he’s pounding beers. Just shot 65.
Please take the time to watch this. pic.twitter.com/BeXgsjiWFv— Monday Q Info (@acaseofthegolf1) June 24, 2024
The interview with Bienz is about four minutes long but absolutely worth watching.
After he got in the field at Detroit Golf Club, Bienz sent a text to Ryan French of “Monday Q Info”.
Nick is good people. pic.twitter.com/5snwHEdMho

The golf world will be captivated by Bienz’ performance beginning on Thursday.
