July 21, 20241 yr I just showed my son this Trevino "Dr. Pepper Bottle story" yesterday... Unbeaten with a bottle! In his Tales of The Open episode, Trevino discusses a remarkable record he possessed at his local par-3 course, prior to turning professional. Trevino’s burgeoning talents meant he was struggling to find willing opponents, prompting him to take drastic measures in an attempt to convince people to take him on. “When you get to the point where you’re beating everyone, no one wants to play with you,” he explained. “I had a par-3 course here in Dallas and the longest hole was 120 yards and the shortest hole was 50 yards. And I came up with the idea of playing with a (Dr Pepper) bottle. So it was a 32-ounce bottle, smooth, and the reason it was Dr Pepper is because it was a smooth bottle, Coca-Cola bottles are hourglass-shaped. “So I took adhesive tape and I taped the neck and then I took a left-handed glove and I turned it inside out so I could put it on my right hand and then I could hold it. Then I would throw the ball up like you’re hitting a baseball with a bat, and I would throw it up and I would hit it. “I could hit it high, I could hit it low. Now sometimes they would break, but not all the time. And I could hit it 100 yards, I could roll this ball 100 yards. Then I would turn it longways with the bottom of it and I would putt croquet-style, between my legs. “How they handicapped me with the bottle is that I would play anyone, they could use their whole set, whatever they wanted. All I did was take the ties, in other words I got half a stroke a hole, so if I tied you on the hole I would win it. “And I’m proud to say that I’m sitting here telling you that I played with this bottle for probably three years and never lost a match!”

July 21, 20241 yr Spiethcoaster driving ball pretty well today, but still a rollercoaster thru 11 holes... 4 birdies 3 bogeys 4 pars Last 4 holes including #12, just terrible approach shots with irons Edited July 21, 20241 yr by LTtxfan
July 21, 20241 yr Cold and windy. Not a lot of low numbers out there so far today. This has been an awesome tournament. Go Scottie! 🤘🤘🤘 Edited July 21, 20241 yr by TonyTexas
July 21, 20241 yr Anyone who starts at +2 or better has a chance to win today. Rahm started +2 birdies #1 and #2 💥 Edited July 21, 20241 yr by LTtxfan

Spiethcoaster solid off tee driving all day. Approach game and putting still holding him back from lower scores. Nice to see him birdie the 18th 💥

July 21, 20241 yr Some of these shots out of the pot bunkers are unbelievable. You could give me 10,000 chances and I couldn’t hit one like that.

July 21, 20241 yr Dang it Scottie.Ok, come on Rosie. Or Billy.Or Shane. Rory basically carried him at the Zurich, it’s good to see him playing well.
July 21, 20241 yr One major for Scottie seems like a letdown to me based on how consistently well he has hit the ball. If he's like me, his ball striking will come back down to earth right as he starts to get the putter fixed.

If he didn’t have one shitty round at the PGA, and if he hadn’t 3 jacked a few minutes ago, he really had a chance to win more.
