Brandel Chamblee and wife Bailee get caught on Kiss Cam at Orlando Magic game
It's safe to say Brandel Chamblee rarely looks uncomfortable while sitting on the set of the Golf Channel show Golf Central, even discussing highly controversial topics.
The former University of Texas star had more of a sheepish look on Thursday night, however, as he and his wife Bailee were caught on the kiss cam at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida, while taking in the Golden State Warriors at the Orlando Magic NBA tilt.
Flanked by Golf Channel anchor Rich Lerner, Chamblee blushed a bit as his wife, a reporter and former Division I golfer, turned to give him a peck. The trio witnessed an impressive showing from Steph Curry as the sure-fire Hall of Famer dropped 56 points in a 121-115 Golden State victory.
It was a throwback performance for Curry, whose previous season-high was 38 points. He went 16-for-25 from the field, including 12-for-19 from beyond the arc. He also hit all 12 of his free throws.

Sam Burns left standing atop the US Open leaderboard as stars falter in nasty second round
OAKMONT, Pa. — Oakmont bit back Friday. It's not that the venerable venue hosting its record 10th U.S. Open this week was a pushover in Thursday's opening round. But it was a bit nastier in Friday's second round. It was particularly hard on the game's biggest stars. Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 ranked player and an overwhelming favorite to win this week, fought his butt off to get himself inside the cut line and is 4-over par, seven shots behind leader Sam Burns. Burns (more on him in a moment) leads at 3-under after shooting an eye-opening 5-under 65 on Friday and is one of only three players in the 156-man field under par. 5 Sam Burns swings during the second round of the U.S. Open on June 13. Getty Images The other two are first-round leader J.J. Spaun at 2-under and Viktor Hovland at 1-under. Adam Scott and Ben Griffin, one of the hottest players in the game, are even par. Scheffler, despite his struggles, played well enough to reach the weekend, as did Rory McIlroy, who birdied No. 18 to close at 6-over before continuing his bizarre anti-media petulant pouting campaign and blowing off interview requests. For those counting at home, that's six consecutive major championship rounds since his triumphant Masters victory in April that McIlroy has refused to be interviewed. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau did the same, bolting the grounds in a slow jog despite a USGA interview request after he stumbled off of 18 having shot 10-over in two rounds. Oakmont will do that to you. It did it to Dustin Johnson, the last player to win a U.S. Open at Oakmont, in 2016. He finished 10-over. It did it to Shane Lowry, who was runner-up to Johnson and in good form. He posted 17-over in two days. 5 Bryson DeChambeau reacts during the second round of the U.S. Open on June 13.

Getty Images Burns was one of the very few who didn't seem to be bothered by Oakmont, despite entering this week having played in 19 majors and posting only one top 10, at the 2024 U.S. Open. But on Friday, in his second round, Burns looked and sounded like he's found something, posting the round of the tournament. It was a score that few saw coming this week. Asked if he saw a 65 possible in tournament play while playing practice rounds, Burns said, 'Honestly, I didn't really think of much of a score. The golf course is really too difficult to try to figure out what's a good score and what's not. 5 Sam Burns reacts during the second round of the U.S. Open on June 13. AP 'It's a 72-hole golf tournament, and if you can get a round under par out here, no matter if it's 1-under, you'll take it. I think today was really nice with the finish I had yesterday, and it felt like I played really well. I'm looking forward to the weekend.'' The 28-year-old Burns, ranked 22nd in the world and a five-time PGA Tour winner, is just days removed from a playoff loss to Ryan Fox at the Canadian Open on Sunday, so he arrived at Oakmont in good form. 'I feel like I've been playing well coming off last week and into this week and my round [Thursday],'' Burns said. 'It's really just trying to get yourself in position out here and give yourself as many looks as you can.'' When Burns gets good looks, he often cashes them in because he's one of the best putters in the game. Scheffler offered his analysis on what makes Burns such a good putter. 'He plays golf, I think, very freely, and he's got really good natural instincts when it comes to his putting,'' Scheffler said. 'And a lot of it is just very reactionary. He's got good fundamentals, good instinct, and he putts very reactionary. That's really all there is to it.'' Asked 'how badly'' Burns wants to win a major, Scheffler said, 'It's a complicated question. Sam is like me in a sense that he's a hyper-competitive person. I think you always dream of having a chance to win these tournaments, and he's put himself in position a few times at majors. He's in position again. 'I'm sure going into the weekend he's right where I would want to be on the leaderboard, so it should be a fun experience for him.'' Burns revealed what he's learned from his past struggles in majors. 5 Sam Burns lines up a putt during the second round of the U.S. Open on June 13. AP 'At times, I was trying to be a little too perfect around major championship golf courses,'' he said. 'Especially around here, it kind of forces you to take your medicine because a lot of times, that's the only option you have. 'For this golf course, you really just have to free it up. It's too hard to try to guide it around here. You're going to hit some in the rough, you're going to hit some in some bad spots, you might as well do it with authority. It's going to be a fun weekend.''

Adam Scott playing 'old man par golf' at U.S. Open, sits 3 shots off lead after 36 holes
Adam Scott playing 'old man par golf' at U.S. Open, sits 3 shots off lead after 36 holes OAKMONT, Pa. – Adam Scott had the line of the day on Thursday to describe the conditions of Oakmont Country Club for the 125th U.S. Open. 'It's really hard. But it's not blow your brains out kind of hard just yet,' he said after shooting 70. One day later, he was asked for a status update. 'Getting there,' he said. 'Guns loaded, maybe.' But so far, it's been relatively stress-free for the Aussie, who is making his 96thconsecutive major appearance at this week's U.S. Open, the longest active streak. After a pair of even-par 70s at Oakmont, he sits T-4, three strokes behind 36-hole leader Sam Burns, and is a legitimate threat to win his second major title. 'I'm playing old-man-par golf at the moment,' he said of eight birdies and eight bogeys and the rest pars at the midway point of the season's third major. Scott, who will turn 45 on the eve of the British Open next month, knows it has been more than 12 years since he won his lone major at the 2013 Masters and his window to add to his total may be running out. How would he describe his window? 'Ajar,' he deadpanned to laughter. 'I'd be pretty proud of winning this thing on the weekend,' he said. 'Right now, that's really what I'm here to do, and I feel like there's probably not been many signs to anyone else but me the last month or six weeks that my game is looking better. But I definitely feel more confident than I have been this year.' Scott is winless on the PGA Tour since the 2020 Genesis Invitational and hasn't recorded a top-10 finish this season. He blamed his iron game, but that part of his game has come alive so far this week to go along with a fairway finder off the tee. He ranks second in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green, which has taken much of the stress off the rest of his game, and he ranks seventh in both SG: Tee to Green and Approach the Green and fourth in proximity to the hole. Golf Channel's Paul McGinley summed up well what the veteran Scott has been able to do so far at a place where he experienced one of his lowest of lows in 2007 when he missed the cut. 'The golf swing hasn't changed, but this is kind of out of left field,' McGinley said. 'All of his numbers are bad this year, he hasn't had a top 10… so for him to show up and drive it as well as he has, hit his irons as well as he has, and play with this kind of form, I mean, he looks like a guy who can go out there, put some numbers up on the board and add to his major championship total, and nobody would have really talked about him coming into this week.' Scott visited Oakmont for a practice round the Monday after the Memorial and then made a conscious decision to avoid playing the course too much before the championship got underway. He played early Monday, took Tuesday off and did nine holes Wednesday morning. 'Not that I know the course so well but I didn't want to see balls in the rough and hacking around for three days,' he said. Last month, he made a late run at the PGA Championship before backing up a bit. He'd like nothing more than to be in the trophy hunt and see if his experience can deliver him another major moment. 'I think another major more would really go a long way in fulfilling my own self, when it's all said and done,' he said. 'This is all I'm really playing for are these big events. There's probably eight of them off the top of my mind a year that I really want to win.'
