You won’t believe where Henrik Stenson was the morning after winning The Open
Put yourself in Henrik Stenson’s position: You’ve just battled Phil Mickelson for two days at Royal Troon to break through and capture your first major championship. It’d be tough to blame the 3-wood smashing Swede for doing what Beef Johnson said he’d do had he won The Open: getting hammered for a week.
Instead, Stenson took an early morning flight from Scotland to Switzerland to support Sergio Garcia’s foundation at a charity event, arriving just after nine in the morning.
David Feherty, who was also in attendance, tweeted this picture of the newly minted major winner’s arrival.

And he wasn’t alone in making the trip to Golf Club Bad Ragaz for the #SergioAndFriends event: Six of the top 11 players in the Official World Golf Ranking showed up, including, in addition to Stenson, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia, and Justin Rose.
Also in attendance: Zach Johnson, Nicolas Colsaerts, Luke Donald, Thomas Bjorn, Lee Westwood, Justin Thomas, Gary Woodland, Alex Levy, Bernd Wiesberger, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Billy Horschel, and José Maria Olazábal. They got together for this incredible shot, which was posted to the European Tour’s Instagram page.
The pro-am event was organized to raise awareness and money for The Sergio Garcia Foundation, as well as a local Swiss charity, the Children’s Cancer Foundation.
Further evidence that among the best golfers in the world, there are a heckuva lot of good guys.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
