MIKE KEEGAN AT HOYLAKE: After introducing himself to the world, it was time to introduce himself to the world. The South African giant who had just risen to the top of the The Open leaderboard, Christo Lamprecht, stepped into the mixed zone, where scores of journalists eagerly awaited the first big story of the major. Duck, or words of a similar description, came as a result of a call from a quick-thinking R&A official and Lamprecht, who duly obliged at 6 ft 8. In doing so, he avoided the fate of compatriot, playing partner, and mentor Louis Oosthuizen, who had seconds before cracked his head on the low ceiling at the entrance.

After a spectacular first round at Royal Liverpool, Christo Lamprecht is on his best comeback; the 6ft 8ins amateur leads The Open. The 22-year-old is in his senior year at Georgia Tech, where he is majoring in Business Administration. One eye on becoming a financial manager or advisor seems to have a promising future on the golf course.

In the third round at Los Angeles Country Club, Tom Kim tied for the lowest score over nine holes with a six-under 29 on the front nine. For the tournament on Saturday afternoon, the 20-year-old, who was born in South Korea, scored six birds and no bogeys and was ranked fifth overall. It was the third day in a row with a scoring record.

On day three of the tournament, major champion Louis Oosthuizen has dropped out of The Masters. After being banned from playing on Friday due to storms, the South African did not recover to complete his second round on the third day. At the par-four 17th, the severe weather caused three pine trees to fall over near the tee box.

Lee birdied his final two holes for a two-under 69 before winning in a playoff by making a 25-foot birdie putt from off the 18th green for his first victory in almost eight years. This was the second playoff in LIV Golf since the Saudi-funded tournament started last year. Dustin Johnson won the playoffs last year outside Boston. Lee finished 9-under 275 and advanced to the playoffs with Carlos Ortiz (65), Brendan Steele (70), and Louis Oosthuizen (70). The par-5 17th was a tumultuous start to the playoffs, but Oosthuizen came from behind to fall a few points behind.

Marc Leishman finds himself in a unique and privileged situation after claiming a two-shot lead going into the final round of the LIV Golf tournament in Arizona, where he had a run-in with a rattlesnake. On Saturday, the Australian first-round leader opened with an eagle and shot a five-under 66 at The Gallery GC, but he still has two major winners breathing down his neck. Sergio Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, came outright second after a 65 with 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen (68), a further shot behind and tied with Cameron Tringale, Charles Howell, and Brendan Steele.

Following an R&A announcement Tuesday, LIV Golf's top players will participate in the 151st Open. This summer, the likes of current holder Cam Smith and former champions, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson, and Louis Oosthuizen, all of whom are on the Saudi-backed circuit, will be welcomed to Royal Liverpool. Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, and Dustin Johnson are among the LIV actors eligible.

Since he announced that he was in talks to join the series during the initial rumblings about the startup pursuing golf's top stars, the Australian was connected to the Saudi-funded breakaway tour in February. The 2013 Masters Champion admitted that the 'appealing calendar' had lured him into the tournament, but that the whole series could only be a positive thing for players. However, despite his initial praise and LIV's success in poaching high-profile celebrities, including his fellow Australian and World No. 1, his fellow Australian and World No.. 2 Cameron Smith, Scott has remained faithful to the PGA Tour.

After losing American players to LIV Golf as his International colleague Trevor Immelman (right) said his team is a hero, US Captain Davis Love III (inset) maintained that his team was not missing anyone. The Presidents Cup in Quail Hollow, North Carolina, will be hosted this week by Love and Immelman's United States and International teams. However, LIV Golf's Saudi-funded breakaway LIV Golf has cast a pall over the PGA Tour, with major names missing from the tour, including stripping the International team bare, causing selection headaches for the captains.

The last Presidents Cup was so close that the International Team left with a renewed sense of optimism, but it seems a long way away now, especially in the shadow cast over North Carolina this week. LIV Golf has been dominating the headlines in the buildup to the showdown at Quail Hollow, just like it has every tournament this year, and, honestly, how could it not? The Presidents Cup is the first major team competition in the men's game since the insurgent series made its way into the scene in June. However, the Presidents Cup gives a bit more energy than LIV's team's, which is limited to two scores from a team of four to count towards the final result. After all, it's match play - whatever comes.

Louis Oosthuizen said he has 'pangs' about missing out on the Presidents Cup next week after being unable to participate due to his LIV Golf defection. After losing their right to represent the International team at LIV Golf, the 39-year-old, as well as British Open champion Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman, Joaquin Niemann, and Anirban Lahiri sacrificed his right to represent the National team at the President's Cup. Oosthuizen resigned his PGA Tour membership before it was revealed that he had joined LIV Golf but wanted to represent the International team at this year's Presidents Cup.

The LIV Golf defectors who hadn't turned in their tour cards were denied entry into the PGA Tour, and those that didn't intend to play on the PGA Tour were banned. The PGA Tour's new season is set to begin in two weeks' time on September 15, but Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau's likes will not be allowed to tee it up. Players who hadn't resigned when leaving LIV, such as Mickelson, DeChambeau, and Pat Perez, were told that their memberships had been suspended for the 2022-23 season.
