Our European correspondent got an early look at Carnoustie Golf Links as it prepares for this summer's Open Championship

Unless you have kids in high school that play basketball, or you played some hoops back in your day, you'll likely never understand the atmosphere of a Saturday morning JV game. Believe it or not, the word “electric” is not one we'd use to describe it. It's quiet, everyone (players included) are still half asleep, and there's rarely any NBA talent to be found.
But that didn't stop one Pennsylvania high school basketball announcer from completely flipping the game on its head and turning the decibel level all the way up to 11 this past weekend. Have a listen as this dude makes Game 7 at Oracle Arena sound like a library compared to his player intros. I recommend a low volume level, or put it on full blast if you're looking for a morning jolt/trying to be fired:

But in case the theater in Carmel is not enough to wet your Rory whistle, the four-time major winner will also be in action on your Amazon account, albeit in a slightly different fashion.
McIlroy will be making an appearance on “The Grand Tour” this Friday, a Prime series revolving around motor sports. The 28-year-old will face socialite Paris Hilton in a celebrity segment, where they will drive a Jaguar F Type around the show's designated track “Eboladrome,” at the former RAF Wroughton.
The Northern Irishman is a noted car enthusiast, once buying one of Ian Poulter's famed Ferrari F12s. The show will air this Friday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is second in the NBA in scoring this season, dropping rainmakers and hammers as opposing defenses watch in dazed resignation. While his ability to make buckets is virtually unmatched, the Milwaukee Bucks star is also handy with the assist. A notion on full display in the video below.
The 23-year-old met with his fan base after Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets, and spotted a kid wearing a “Big Baller Brand” hoodie. An apparel choice the Greek Freak simply could not abide:

Antetokounmpo literally gave the shirt off his back. An amazingly kind gesture, even if his sweatshirt probably fits the prepubescent like a tent.
Plus, it's likely the only time an All-Star caliber player will ever touch a BBB item. Proud day for the Ball family, I'm sure.

Nothing—not the “The Process” nor “The Answer” nor even the now Super Bowl champion Eagles Iggles—have summed up the true 21st-century spirit of Philadelphia quite like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. A glue-huffing, Yuengling chugging one-way-ticket to the bottom floor of humanity, Always Sunny has enjoyed one the unlikeliest 12-season runs in sitcom history, writing a new, X-rated love letter to Philly with each and every episode. Thus, when the Birds made the Bowl for the first time since the show premiered way back in August 2005, you just knew a real-life road-trip was in order. Thankfully, the “gang” didn't disappoint.

Good news for Solo fans and those worried that we’d have to go like six months without a Star Wars movie: According to trailers that premiered last night during the Failed Patriots Trick Play Fest-O-Rama and this morning on Good Morning America, Solo: A Star Wars Story is a movie that, despite, exists — they shot it and everything, maybe even twice! This is a fine development for fans who have been wondering, with the movie’s release a mere four months away, whether the delay in delivering any promotional materials was part of a responsive new marketing strategy on the part of Lucasfilm, or a sign that the twice-shot movie, which replaced its directors with mere weeks left in production, is a hot fresh pile of Chewie barf. (This debate has been raging at the same time that grown men continue whining that Luke’s space magic powers in The Last Jedi are not the appropriate kind of space magic powers.)
But Solo is here! And it opens with the introductory metal-guitar crunch from “Kickstart..

Woodland wins in desert, golf's newest prodigy and Fowler's troubling trend: What you missed this weekend

With Bryson DeChambeau playing well at the Waste Management Open, we take a look at his button-down (and other cool golf button-downs)

Maddie MeyerFOXBORO, MA – OCTOBER 22: Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots speaks with a referee during the first quarter of a game against the Atlanta Falcons at Gillette Stadium on October 22, 2017 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)We don't have to tell you how great the Patriots are, how incredible Belichick and Brady are. How remarkable it is they are in the Super Bowl year after year, and how they'll likely be back next year despite rumors this is their last game together. Or the fact that the majority of their championship wins have been in wild, comeback fashion. Blah, blah, blah, we get it.
However, this latest stat just adds to the legend of the Brady/Belichick era in New England, which will feature an insane eighth Super Bowl appearance on Sunday. It comes courtesy of Golf Channel researcher Justin Ray, and it further proves that no matter what, you can never count out the Patriots:
