It's Canadian Open week, which means plenty of Happy Gilmore references, DJ crushing tee shots in Gretzky jerseys, and the creative minds at Loop HQ helping Rickie's mullet reach its final, glorious form. While the promotional theme of the week could just as easily be maple syrup or Nickelback, it's mercifully our second favorite stick sport, which has given way to content gold like this: Five tour pros trying to smash 285-yard stingers from the blue tees line into a hockey net propped up in the center of the fairway. Let 'em rip, fellas.

OK, so pretty average effort across the board, except of course for the two big Swedes, Alex Noren and Henrik Stenson, who, governed by the inert goalmouth GPS in their DNA, both smoked their drives straight between the pipes. Noren, impressively, flew his straight in while Stenson took the pucks-in-deep approach, letting his drive carom off the boards or fairway or whatever.

As coach of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, you'd think Steve Kerr would play the role of the villain, especially given that he got to add Kevin Durant to his already stacked super-team in 2016. Since then they've done nothing but dominate the entire NBA, becoming the league's most-hated team in the process.

Through it all, Kerr's popularity has only risen to Gregg Popovich levels with NBA fans. He's smart, has a great sense of humor and often answers questions literally, just like Pop, which people love (see: Leonard, Kawhi). What people really love, well, Twitter people, many of whom are sick in the head, is a little sexual innuendo, something Kerr is apparently quite good at as well.
Prior to the NBA Finals, Kerr caught up with Guillermo Rodriguez, also known as Jimmy Kimmel's security guard who has now become Kimmel's sidekick. Kimmel sent Rodriguez to NBA Media Day prior to the..

It's fitting that a man with the last name Kite so deftly navigating Pebble Beach's unforgiving winds in the 1992 U.S. Open Championship.

Tom Kite hit one of the most memorable shots on one of the most memorable holes in golf — No. 7 at Pebble Beach — to win his only major championship title. He talks about that shot and the week that was in 1992 during this episode of “My U.S. Open,” in partnership with Rolex.

Dustin Johnson skeptical about defending Canadian Open with new course, tougher field

©Universal/Courtesy Everett ColEver since Chubbs Peterson convinced Happy Gilmore to trade his Bruins sweater for a sweater vest, golf and hockey have been irrevocably intertwined—an odd couple united by apparatus, cultural dissimilarity, and the comedy therein. Now, as the Canadian Open and Stanley Cup Finals collide, we put on our thinking and drinking caps, imagining what some of the PGA Tour's top pros would look like if they picked up a different sort of stick all those years ago. Needless to say, the country club ain't gonna know what just hip checked it.

While many of golf's biggest names are doing their U.S. Open prep at the RBC Canadian Open, Phil Mickelson decided he'd go straight to the host site to begin mapping out his game plan. First up was a practice round on a beautiful morning at Pebble Beach, where Lefty even found time to give his followers a bump-and-run tutorial on “MC Tip Tuesday,” as he calls it.

Looks like a strong day at Pebble. Somehow, it got better for Phil in the afternoon, when he went to the next best place at Pebble Beach besides the course itself: Jim Nantz's backyard, which features a replica of the famous par-3 seventh hole.

Mickelson, who always has a flair for the dramatic, stepped to the tee and struck a perfect chip that found the bottom of the cup, yielding a mic/wedge drop on the haters. And yes, the Masters theme was playing while all this was going on (we think it plays on loop at Nantz's house..

Tadd Fujikawa, the first openly gay male professional golfer, is featured in a new video where he talks about his decision to come out, and the aftermath of doing so.

Each year on the PGA Tour, there are golfers who stand out for how often they're in contention yet just can't quite break through
