Predictions made ahead of The Open Championship:
Golf.com: Rahm to have a top-7 finish
Brady Kannon writes: "Rahm played tremendous golf from tee-to-green at Oakmont -- one of the very best in the entire field -- but his putting was awful. He finally found a hot putter on the final day, shot a 67 and finished seventh. Not only am I looking for the top players and good current form, but I also want golfers who are well-versed in links-style golf. Rahm fits the bill as he has finished top-7 at the Open Championship in three of the past four years and has won the Irish Open three times."
Golf Digest: Rory McIlroy
Alex Myers writes: "If you had said before the season that McIlroy would be coming back to his home country with three wins and a major under his belt in 2025, you'd have made him a clear favorite."
BetMGM: Sepp Straka
Nick Hennion writes: "For Straka, his distance won't be punished at the Open like it would at the Masters and PGA. That should allow his two best attributes - iron play and putting - to shine. Amongst all PGA Tour players this season, Straka ranks second in SG: APP, first in greens in regulation percentage and 16th in SG: Putting. Based on those factors, the price alone is worth it for Straka to claim his first major title."

How Solar Trailer Security Systems Can Reduce Crime at The British Open
Golf's biggest UK event is a security headache: tens of thousands of fans, sprawling temporary villages, remote car parks, valuable broadcast and hospitality equipment, and multiple unsecured perimeters that appear and disappear within weeks. Permanent CCTV and fibre are rarely in place where you most need them, and diesel generator towers add cost, noise and emissions. Solar Surveillance trailers solve this by delivering rapid, off-grid surveillance, analytics and comms that can be moved, scaled and redeployed as the build, event and tear‑down phases progress. Photo by Shep McAllister on Unsplash Why The Open is uniquely hard to secure The Open runs across large, open spaces that are reconfigured daily. You have crowds during play, but also long hours of low-footfall risk when kit is left onsite overnight. You often need coverage in car parks, practice ranges, hospitality compounds and merchandise tents where trenching power or data is impractical. Weather is unpredictable, cellular capacity fluctuates, and the infrastructure must disappear as fast as it arrived. A mobile, energy self-sufficient platform is far better suited to this cycle than fixed poles or cabling. What a solar trailer actually delivers A solar trailer is a towable unit with a telescopic mast, high-efficiency panels, a LiFePO4 battery bank sized for multi-day autonomy, and an onboard compute module that runs AI analytics locally. It carries PTZ and fixed cameras (and optionally thermal), uses LTE, 5G or Starlink for backhaul, and pushes only meaningful alerts to the security team. Because it is self-powered, you avoid diesel generator costs and emissions. Because it is mobile, you can reposition it daily as risk shifts. Core capabilities that matter during a major tournament Edge analytics that cut noise. Person and vehicle detection, intrusion zones, line crossing, loitering and object left/removed alerts run on the trailer. Security staff get signal, not a video firehose. Rapid deployment. Units can be dropped and live in hours without trenching, permits or electricians. Connectivity redundancy. Dual SIM, Starlink or microwave links keep footage and alerts flowing when local networks are saturated. Evidence-grade recording. Local storage combined with cloud sync protects the chain of custody and ensures you do not lose video if a link drops. Zero or near-zero operational emissions. The event can meet sustainability objectives and reporting commitments while maintaining high readiness. A deployment blueprint for The Open Perimeter and back-of-house fencing. Place trailers at strategic choke points and blind spots to detect intrusion after hours. Public car parks and park-and-ride. Use PTZ cameras with LPR to track suspicious vehicles, coordinate with police and deter theft. Broadcast, hospitality and vendor compounds. Protect high-value gear when crews leave for the night. Practice ranges and overflow areas. Reposition units to follow crowd flow and newly identified risks without sending electricians. Emergency response staging. Push mobile coverage to first-aid tents and incident command posts that move throughout the week. Operational workflow: before, during, after Before the event: Conduct a rapid risk map. Define autonomy days required based on worst-case weather. Pre-stage SIMs or Starlink, set analytics rules and escalation paths, and test with blue-light partners. During the event: Monitor a single dashboard for all trailers. Trigger PTZ auto-tracking from analytics. Escalate to stewards or police with clipped evidence rather than raw streams. After the event: Redeploy to the next venue, construction site or storage yard. Export incident logs and video packages for insurers and law enforcement. Audit uptime, false alarms and response times to tighten rules for the next tournament. Privacy, legality and standards in the UK Solar trailers are still CCTV, so they must comply with UK GDPR, the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice and the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. That means clear signage, defined purposes, retention limits, access controls and audit trails for who viewed or exported footage. Make sure your supplier supports role-based access, encrypted storage, and simple export workflows so you can meet Subject Access Requests quickly. Procurement and Budgeting Events can rent, lease or buy. Renting suits one-off or rotational tournaments. Leasing or purchase makes sense if you will redeploy trailers to stadia, training grounds or other events throughout the year. When comparing quotes, include trenching avoided, guard hours reduced, diesel saved, and the ability to reuse the fleet across multiple sites. KPIs to track Time to deploy and configure a unit Number of actionable alerts vs false alarms Mean time to verify and respond Days of autonomy achieved vs specified Percentage of video mapped to incidents for evidence packages Diesel or generator runtime avoided FAQs Will they work through a cloudy week? Yes, if sized correctly. Specify the required autonomy days in your RFP and make vendors model worst-month irradiance for the venue. Can they integrate with police or the event's existing VMS? Choose trailers with ONVIF, RTSP and open APIs so you can stream, share clips and push alerts to existing control rooms. Do they replace guards? No. They reduce routine patrols and improve detection. Human response is still required. What about network congestion when crowds peak? Dual SIM, private microwave or Starlink backhaul plus store-and-forward recording makes the system resilient even when public networks are saturated. Conclusion The Open needs security that moves as fast as the build and tear-down schedule. Solar trailer security systems give organisers an immediate, low-carbon way to deter theft, monitor perimeters and car parks, and generate evidence without trenching or diesel generators. Specify autonomy, analytics, open integrations and GDPR compliance up front, test them before gates open, and you will leave the course with fewer incidents, faster responses and a reusable playbook for the next tournament.

Junior PGA Championship winner makes Charlie Woods feelings clear after meltdown
Lunden Esterline saw off Tiger Woods' son as he took home the Junior PGA Championship with a comfortable six-stroke lead, similar to Scottie Sheffler's dominant win at the Open Championship Lunden Esterline remained gracious in victory after beating Tiger Woods' son, Charlie, to the Junior PGA Championship with a commanding six-shot victory. After pulling clear of the pack and maintaining his advantage throughout the final round, many have compared this win to Scottie Scheffler's victory at The Open Championship. Esterline wrapped up a masterful display at 19-under par, securing the trophy and an automatic spot on the Junior Ryder Cup squad. He certainly fared better than Tiger Woods' 16-year-old son, who had entered Friday's final round sharing second place. Three consecutive rounds of 70, 66, and 66 had positioned the younger Woods favourably with ground to make up. But rather than channelling his father's legendary clutch instincts in the trademark black and red outfit - as he had done during U.S. Junior Amateur Championship qualifying - Woods carded his poorest round of the tournament with a 74. The meltdown knocked him out of the running, coming just after he missed the cut at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship the previous week. Woods completed the 18th hole at level par, but a bogey at the 14th and a double bogey at the 15th scuppered any hopes of a fightback. Esterline, who was paired with him, remained gracious and measured in his post-round remarks. "I had fun playing with him and Pennson [Badgett]," Esterline said. "They were both good guys." Esterline will continue his golfing journey at Auburn as part of the Class of 2027. Woods kicked off the week with a 70 at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, followed by consecutive 66s that hinted at a comeback. On Wednesday, he set the front nine alight with a 31, featuring birdies on six of the first nine holes. On Thursday, he replicated that performance with another 66, ruling the roost on holes 6 and 12 throughout the competition - entering Friday at 12 under, just one stroke behind the leader. Charlie started strong, but missed chances began to accumulate from the back 9 onwards. He recorded three bogeys and one double in a round, including hole 15, which he had mastered the previous two days. Following the result, Charlie remains the No. 20-ranked golfer in the American Junior Golf Association. Esterline is ranked as the No. 46 golfer by the same standards. To qualify for the Junior Ryder Cup, Charlie needed to finish in the top two during the event, win the 2023 U.S. Junior Amateur, or be ranked among the top two on the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup list. At present, the top two spots are occupied by boys Miles Russell and Tyler Mawhinney, and girls Asterisk Talley and Gianna Clemente. Charlie still has a chance to qualify for the team if he ends up being the sole captain's pick for Team USA.

Scottie Scheffler receives response from Tom Brady as NFL legend doesn't hold back
After Scottie Scheffler's recent comments about his almost indifferent feelings towards winning majors, Tom Brady has offered his thoughts on the World No. 1 NFL icon Tom Brady has questioned Scottie Scheffler about why the golf star cannot balance being a world- class golfer with being a good parent. Scheffler, 29, recently provoked a debate after winning the Open. The World No. 1 recently admitted that, in his mind, the joy of winning a major only lasts a small amount of time. He also said he is more focused on being a good father than being the greatest golfer on the planet. However, Brady, who won seven Super Bowls over the course of his career, challenged Scheffler's brutally honest comments to the media, while offering a peak into his own mentality during his career, which ended in February 2023. In his weekly newsletter, Brady said: "As part of his answer at Media Day, for example, Scottie said he'd rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer. And my question is, 'Why are those mutually exclusive?' "Sure, they're different blocks on the pyramid, but they're part of the same pyramid. They're connected! For instance, I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football. "My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused, those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids. "By prioritising my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives. "Remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it. Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent.' Scheffler moved himself into the headlines with his comments by saying the joy of winning a major "only lasts a few minutes" and the life of a golfer is "fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart." The four-time major winner has since admitted he regretted making those comments after his triumph at Portrush. Speaking on the Pardon My Take podcast, Scheffler said: "I remember walking out of that room and I'm looking at Blake, my manager, I've known since I was like 10 years old, and I'm like, 'Gosh, why did I start ranting like that.' "This is why I don't say anything, things get taken out of context. I'm just like, 'I don't know why I did that, I hope that made a little bit of sense to some people.' He was like, 'Nah it's alright, let's go.'" He also came close to making a U-turn on his comments about the joy of winning a major, adding: "But the feeling of happiness and satisfaction, being able to accomplish a lifelong dream will last for me for a long time. "It's a pretty amazing thing for me to be able to accomplish something like that, and it's something that I'm very grateful for. But,, it's not the only thing in my life. Striving to win golf tournaments as the only thing is going to lead to a lifetime of disappointment basically."
