Team Troon - Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Thomas, Gary Woodland, Yealimi Noh, Matt Kuchar, Alex Noren, Bubba Watson, Cheyenne Woods & Colin Montgomerie

The Open Championship

From pot bunkers to extreme weather on Sunday, it was an entertaining week at Royal Liverpool Golf Club for the 151st Open Championship. Many of Team Troon was represented in the field with strong scores despite the challenges of the course and changing weather conditions. Low Team Troon member was Alex Noren, Noren started off hot with a first round 68 and would finish within the Top 25 at even par. Matt Fitzpatrick, donning a cool custom Sheffield United inspired Troon Bag (more on that later) would finish next at T41, followed by Gary Woodland at T55. Troon Investor/Supporter Rory McIlroy, coming off a great win last week at the Genesis Scottish Open, finished T6 -6. Another fun note of the week is Team Troon member Matt Fitzpatrick’s brother Alex was in the field playing as well. His name constantly moving around the top 20 all week to then conclude the event T17. Congrats is in order to the ultimate winner of the Open Championship in Brian Harman. He had gritty play all week/weekend in adverse conditions.

  • T23 Alex Noren: 68-75-71-70 = 278 / E
  • T41 Matt Fitzpatrick: 72-72-67-75 = 286 / +2
  • T55 Gary Woodland: 73-71-73-72 = 286 / +5

LPGA-Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational

The LPGA Tour made their stop in Michigan. Team Troon Yealimi Noh and partner Soo Bin Joo played some good golf to get them in top 30 for the tournament. This event is very unique to the LPGA as the rounds alternate from a four-ball format to alternate shot.

  • T29 Yealimi Noh + Soo Bin Joo: 68-65-74-65 = 272 / -8

Shareable

As Matt Fitzpatrick arrived at Royal Liverpool for the Open Championship, so did his custom Troon Bag we designed in collaboration with Matt’s favourite football club in Sheffield United. Below is from a Tweet he sent out on Friday to his 185k followers on Twitter. Which had some great engagement and also was discussed on air during the Friday broadcast.

We too posted/reshared the images of Matt Fitzpatrick’s custom bag to all applicable @Troon social handles….even on Threads and now X (i.e. “the artist formerly known as” Twitter)

As the PGA Champions Tour had the week off, we saw a lot of content from Team Troon member Colin Montgomerie at the Open Championship doing some interviews and commentary. Well done Colin!
