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!”

Rahm gonna say “remember me?”

6 back is gonna be too far to win but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him finish T5.

 

Im is the other name I have my eye on 

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

Cold and windy. Not a lot of low numbers out there so far today. This has been an awesome tournament. Go Scottie! 🤘🤘🤘

Edited by TonyTexas

Anyone who starts at +2 or better has a chance to win today.

Rahm started +2    birdies #1 and #2 💥

Wind has calmed somewhat and it’s warmed up a bit. A 67 has been posted. There might be a 66 out there.

70  shoots -1 today.  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 💥

Great to see Scottie playing without his crazy trashbag jacket today 😋

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are cslling.

This tv coverage fucking sucks. 

You don’t like seeing the 2 leaders sink birdies on 1/4 of the screen? Or the constant Olympic promotion? Are you unamerican?

NBC blows.

I thought it was me.  This is like Benny HIll.

FYI you can watch the sky sports feed on Peacock. 

Raymond Floyd, when fat guys won tourneys. 

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. 

Helllooo, arrest me please.

Scottie’s putter is going to cost him a few majors this one included.  

Rose would be a good story.  

That was a great bunker shot.

Sweet. Thanks. Just put it on that.

Come on guys. All networks do this on the front nine.

Get them out of the way now and it tightens up on the back 9.

TWSS!

Scottie! Good day to watch golf.

My grandmother skipped church once a year, Sunday at the Open.

Here’s to my Nana.

Van de Velde meltdown.

Scottie missing everything.  

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.

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.

Missing putts is not Van de Velde adjacent.
