US Open food and drink prices confirmed as fans fume at eye-watering costs
The US Open gets underway on Thursday, with Rory McIlroy bidding to win his second major of the year, but supporters' attention has been drawn to the price of the menu in Pennsylvania Golf fans have been left flabbergasted after the food and drink prices for the US Open were revealed. The third major of the year tees off on Thursday, with Rory McIlroy gunning for his second win of the year. McIlroy finally completed the career Grand Slam by triumphing in the Masters at Augusta back in April. The Northern Irishman will face competition from American Bryson DeChambeau, who is looking to retain his US Open title. A third man in the running is Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship in May and will tee off as the bookies' favourite in Pennsylvania. Upwards of 200,000 people expected to attend the event at Oakmont Country Club. And supporters have been left furious after the course's food and drinks menu was released. A Philly cheesesteak is the heftiest meal on the menu - costing $13.95 (£10.33) - while crisps are $3.49 (£2.58). A single Corona will cost $11.95 (£8.85), while even a bottle of water is $4.95 (£3.66). An 'All Beef Hotdog' will set fans back $7.59 (£5.63), while an 'Asiago Turkey Sandwich' will cost $12.25 (£9.08). The most expensive drink on the menu is also the 'Official Cocktail of the US Open' - a canned lemon wedge by Dewar's. That will cost $13.95 (10.34), the saw as a Black Cherry Seltzer. What really astonished fans though was the price of a banana, which will cost $1.95 (£1.44). One fumed: "$1.98 for a banana??? I'm taking my business elsewhere!" Another said: "$1.95 for a banana is outrageous." While a third added: "Menu prices seem disconnected from the average attendee's budget." A fourth raged: "$7.50 for a hot dog is ridiculous especially when they ran out yesterday. During the Monday practice round. Good luck this weekend." It's far cry from Augusta National and the Masters where patrons are still able to tuck into food and drink for very reasonable prices. Fans walking the famous course in Georgia were able to get a sandwich from as cheap as $1.50, while a beer was priced at just $6. McIlroy was victorious at Augusta, but has admitted being concerned about his form after missing the cut at the Canadian Open. The world No.2 shot a dismal second-round 78 last Friday, with McIlroy admitting he is struggling to turn things around. 'Of course it concerns me. You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today,' McIlroy said on the PGA website. 'I felt like I came here with a new driver thinking that was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't. 'Going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways. Still searching for the missing piece off the tee. When I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me. Right now that isn't.'

Step Inside Baccarat and Dewar's Exclusive Tony Awards Speakeasy
An invitation to the Tony Awards is already highly coveted, but this year, an even more exclusive experience awaited a select few inside Radio City Music Hall: Baccarat and Dewar's speakeasy. Set on the mezzanine balcony in the famed venue, the spot served as a private area for presenters, nominees, and distinguished guests to have a quick drink around their peers. It featured the French luxury house's signature red palette, complemented by crystal chandeliers and sculptural vases that mirrored Radio City's opulent aesthetic. 'At Dewar's, we've long believed that great stories are meant to be savored,' Brian Cox, Global Vice President of Scotch Whisky at Bacardi, said in a release. 'The Tony Awards represent the pinnacle of live storytelling and true artistry, and we're honored to toast the people and moments that make Broadway unforgettable.' Attendees included Broadway greats and newcomers like Cynthia Erivo, Sadie Sink, Phillipa Soo, Julianne Hough, Carrie Preston, Tom Francis, Megan Hilty, Maia Reficco, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Daveed Diggs, Tom Felton, Ariana DeBose, Brooke Shields, Charli D'Amelio, Dylan Mulvaney, Auli'i Cravalho, Ashley Longshore, Christian Siriano, Anthony Ramos, and more, demonstrating why the speakeasy was the place to be at the Tonys. 'Baccarat was forged from a bold spirit of innovation, so it is an honor to pay tribute to those who continue to redefine the boundaries of performance through their craft,' added Adam Banfield, President and CEO of Baccarat North America. 'In partnership with Dewar's, we are proud to create an experience that radiates with elegance and the unmistakable brilliance that has long defined our Maison and this time-honored occasion.' Dewar's and Baccarat share a long-standing connection, each leaving a distinct mark on the world of fine dining and luxury spirits. At the speakeasy, guests were treated to an elevated drinking experience, with Dewar's whisky-based cocktails served in elegant Baccarat glassware. Highlights from the menu included the Golden Cue, a vibrant, fruit-forward blend; the Revival, a smooth cocktail with notes of vanilla and sherry; and the Act One Aperitif, artfully strained into an absinthe-rinsed Baccarat Harmonie Tumbler for a theatrical finish.
