Hey golf fans,

Who would've thought that after missing cuts in the first three majors and believing the wrong strategy about links courses (in the words of Nick Faldo), Bryson DeChambeau would be sitting just two strokes shy of the leader, Jackson Suber? Well, definitely not Faldo, and Bryson has replied in kind. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler wins a new award, Tiger Woods warns about Royal Birkdale, a Tour pro 'apologizes' to his mom about one of his habits, and more in today's edition.

Since The Open switched to a 72‑stroke format in 1892, 113 champions were within five strokes of the lead after round one. This year, 59 players are within that range, including defending champ Scottie Scheffler. Only nine winners have ever started outside it, including Mark O’Meara in 1998, who was seven shots back after the first round.
