Sports Seriously: Andy Nesbitt and Mackenzie Salmon discuss the impact Tiger Woods' comments on LIV Golf have on the sport going forward.You've just won your first PGA Tour title, handled all the media obligations and now have to rush over the pond to get ready to make your debut in the Open Championship. But you're in Kentucky with the Barbasol Championship hardware and your passport is home in Alabama, so - courtesy of the PGA Tour, which sets up a private jet - you fly south.
You repack, get three hours of sleep and then head for Scotland, the itinerary taking you through JFK and Dublin before touching down in Edinburgh. And that's when you see the horrors at the hands of luggage handlers."All my clubs were out of my bag when I got here," Mullinax said."A lot of clubs were bent, and so we had to adjust and stuff like that. I guess going through TSA, whatever, they took the irons out and put them not back in my golf bag.
"A little bit of a blur," Mullinax, 30, described his present state."I left my house at 5 a.m. Monday morning, got here at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, and then teed off at like 1:30 for 18 holes. I was actually OK Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday I was really tired. I haven't slowed down. I really haven't had any time. I'm really looking forward to next week getting home to my family and hanging out with my kids and celebrating the win, seeing some friends and stuff like that.
"I knew it looked funny. I was having to tell my caddie, man, I'm having to forward press this a lot. I was like, man, I don't know what's going on," he said."The ball wasn't rolling like it was in Kentucky. Surely I didn't lose it in two days."Shooting 66 out here is never bad. I was just trying to keep up with Kiz the whole time. I mean, he was putting phenomenal. I started making some putts.
