Jim Nantz uses iPhone to make tour pro’s casual round sound way more exciting than it actually was
The soothing, melodic tones of Jim Nantz announcing a golf tournament are unlike any other. He is, as the kids would say, the GOAT of golf broadcasting of our generation.
So imagine you actually had the legendary CBS announcer using his hushed voice to call your putts in a casual round of golf? That's what tour pro Maverick McNealy got to experience—as Nantz used his iPhone to deliver a call so smooth that it sounded like it was from the tower at the 18th hole.
To the keen observer, though, this was simply the green at the par-5 10th hole at Monterey Peninsula's Shore course, down the road of Nantz's house off Pebble Beach (with his legendary backyard replica of the iconic seventh hole at Pebble). McNealy had the good fortune of playing with Nantz—who admitted to us he doesn't always enjoy putting his game on public display when he has a rare off day from his 245 days of traveling a year.
Unfortunately, we didn't get a look at Nantz's own game, as has rare..

Phil Mickelson reveals how he once used Tony Romo to gain a mental edge on Tiger Woods
On the few occasions Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were paired together on Sundays during their careers, the rounds never really quite lived up to the hype. There were some outliers, like the 2001 Masters, 2005 at Doral and the front nine of the 2009 Masters, but for the most part, they all fell a little flat.
Perhaps the most notorious of these occasions was the last time they faced off on a Sunday at the 2012 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, when Mickelson trounced Woods by an astounding 11 shots, with Lefty carding a 64 to Woods' 75. While Mickelson's winning performance was still quite the show, it felt a bit deflating for those hoping for an epic duel between the two legends at an iconic course. Woods looked overmatched from the outset, and we may now know whose fault it was: Tony Romo.
Okay, so a lot of the blame has to be placed on Tiger, who played horribly on that overcast Sunday on the Monterrey Peninsula. But, in the latest preview for Tuesday night's episode of HBO'..
Soccer star Harry Kane posts video of him achieving an impressive golf milestone
Harry Kane won the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals at the 2018 World Cup, but he shared a different kind of impressive scoring feat on Tuesday. The 25-year-old English soccer star and avid golfer posted video of him sinking a putt to shoot his first under-par round. Check it out:

Well done and congrats, Harry. Although, the hashtags were a bit excessive.
Kane was listed as a 4-handicap in Golf Digest's latest top 100 athletes. Sounds like he could be a bit of a sandbagger, though, so watch out.
