CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) The British Open bustled with excitement as the occasion began to unfold, with mobile phones zooming in to capture the moment from the best angle available.

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where after getting a chance to play Carnoustie on Monday, we decided to re-enact the key moments from this year’s British Open instead of just writing about them.

Carnoustie is a ton of fun! If you’re playing with no pressure and little wind, that is. Anyway, here are some more words to describe what happened there last week as well.
WE'RE BUYING
Francesco Molinari: The hottest golfer in the world (two wins and two runner-ups in his previous five worldwide starts) coming into the Open did the unthinkable over the weekend by not making a single bogey at Carnoustie. Now throw in the fact he did it to claim his — and Italy’s — first major against a stacked leader board and while playing with Tiger Woods on Sunday.

BloombergDepending on the business, slogans and tag lines aren't supposed to be taken literally, though some certainly lend themselves to that. At Buffalo Wild Wings, you literally get wings, beer and sports. Yes, you should break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar, and yes, what happens in Vegas should absolutely stay there. But just because some of these work so well doesn't mean they all do.

One man took a tag line as literally as possible over the weekend in New Hampshire, stripping naked, walking into a Planet Fitness and beginning his workout. Eric Stagno, 34, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, walked back and forth and started doing poses on a yoga mat in the nude, according to cops. Before he got too deep in his zen, and before he could do real, lasting damage to fellow exercisers by getting into downward-facing dog, he was promptly arrested and charged with indecent exposure, lewdness ..

You go to every soccer practice. You help with the algebra homework. You changed diapers then and you let them play Fortnite now. You're the dad of the year…or at least you were, until this guy stepped into the ring. Honey, you might want change the channel:

So OK, not the greatest idea in human history. Babies have soft skulls and generally don't like being doused in Miller Lite. The smart play would have been to get out of the way of the hurtling baseball…or not pick seats labeled “Hoskins' Homer Alley”…or to leave your infant child with grandma when attending a live Philadelphia sporting event. But Phillies fans are gonna Phillies fan, especially when local shithead/hero Chase Utley is in the house for the final time, and so it was and forever will be.
Suffice to say, the Missus isn't going to be pleased when she gets back from her Nick Foles Appreciation Night and sees this, but at least this guy remembered his Roy Halladay (RIP) j..

The 15 things every golf fan needs to know about Francesco Molinari, the 2018 Champion Golfer of the Year

ANDY BUCHANAN(Photo credit should read ANDY BUCHANAN/AFP/Getty Images)The PGA Tour pros, they're just like us! Okay, maybe not when it comes to driving distance, accuracy, approach prowess, short game, or just a general sense of how to get around a golf course. But when it comes to reverence to Tiger Woods, we're on the same plane.
At least that's the case with Shubhankar Sharma. The 22-year-old went from unknown entity (462nd in the world) into the top 100 earlier this season with wins at the Joburg Open and Maybank Championship, and made a spirited run at the WGC-Mexico Championship. Performances that signaled Sharma, who hails from India, as a fledgling star, earning a special invite to the Masters in the process.
Despite this newfound fame, Big Sharms has maintained his humility. That's the only interpretation for this tweet, where Sharma, in thanking the R&A for his Open experience at Carnoustie, admits he's yet to meet a certain 42-year-old, 14-time major..

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk says it was fun to watch Tiger Woods contend at the British Open and briefly take the lead in the final round. Whether that means Woods is a lock for the U.S. team is still to be determined.

SEC fans are a special breed, a fact we've provided endless evidence of on this here dadgum site. Whether it's a bride altering her LSU-loving husband groom's cake of his dreams, a Georgia fan acting as a human alarm clock in his neighborhood or a Mississippi State baseball fan duping a news channel, it's clear these people are just better at sports-fanning than the rest of us. Now, we can add this LSU bride to that list.
In a viral video tweeted by Louisiana news channel WAFB, a groom is seen cutting his Alabama Crimson Tide-themed cake, and talking some nice smack in the process. As he should be, because his Tide have not only won 20 national championships in the last 10 years (give or take), but they've also steamrolled LSU to the tune of seven straight wins, making a once proud rivalry embarrassingly lopsided in less than a decade. So, as an LSU fan, you've got to take your victories wherever and however you can get them. For this bride, that meant cre..
