Scratch’s Shots Of The Week

A historic weekend at The Open and John Daly’s pineapple pants

I’ve scoured social media from the past week for the top photos, quips, and stories from your favorite golfers and golf media and gathered them together for you to enjoy! -Sniff

The best golfers in the world gathered at Royal Troon Golf Course in Scotland this weekend:

The weekend at The Open awaits…

But two world-class golfers stood above the rest:

Lefty’s 17-under would have won the previous three Opens:

But Henrik Stenson was just too good:

Phil wanted to get a piece of that Claret Jug, too:

At least he’s a good sport:

Congratulations to Henrik, it was a pleasure competing against him these past four days. Truly a great competitor and an even better guy. Until next time, friend.

And he received some props from another world-class golfer on his bogey-free round:

I watched some of Phil’s round today and every time I turned around, he holed a putt. To play Royal Troon with no bogeys is a great round of golf. Well done, Phil! I almost hate to remind myself of this, but I missed a putt of just a couple feet at Baltusrol in 1980 to miss out on 62. In your case, Phil, you made a beautiful read and putt on that last hole, but got absolutely stone-cold robbed. #philmickelson #britishopen #theopen #openchampionship

With the win, Stenson brought home Sweden’s first major title:

Elsewhere at Royal Troon, “Beef” Johnston met legend Butch Harmon while wearing a sweater with a narwhal on it:

Got to meet this guy this afternoon. Wat a guy

And although John Daly missed the cut, his pineapple pants were the talk of Twitter:
