British Open 2018: Following a three-under 68 at the Open, Brandon Stone went to play the Old Course (with hickory clubs)
Last week at the Scottish Open, the European Tour had players in the field try out hickory clubs on the par-3 12th at Gullane Golf Club during a practice round, and the resulting #HickoryChallenge video was a hilarious mix of good, bad and ugly. There were appearances from Padraig Harrington, Patrick Reed, Lee Westwood and Rickie Fowler. One glaring omission, though, was Brandon Stone, the eventual winner of the event thanks to a 10-under 60 in the final round.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. That's a custom Philly Special lining married to a classic evergreen sport coat. We're not even Eagles fans, and we still want one of these hanging in our closet just in case. The evening wasn't short on style statements—Donovan Mitchell dressed up like Spider-Man at a job interview and JaVale McGee rocked a fanny pack that costs more than your rent—but it was Burton's subtle Super Bowl homage that spoke the loudest.

How does Burton's current employer, the Chicago Bears, feel about this blatant display of Philly Phandom from their new tight end? To their credit, they seem c..
