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).

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.

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.
