Winged Foot awaits the pros this week, and though many were resting ahead of the expected brutal test in New York, golf social media was as busy as always over the past week.
Ahead of this week's U.S. Open, here are some of the good, the bad and the ugly from the world of golf across social media from the last seven days in GolfHound's 'Tweets Of The Week'!
The Bet Of Bets
This sounds suspiciously like a bet Phil himself would make....
Heard someone place 45k on me to win the open at 75-1 (pays 3.3 mil)

Hoping for both of us I have a 3 shot lead on 18 tee.
New Chipping Technique?
Not sure this will catch on, even if the result was pretty great!

Michael Campbell's Perfect Response
Golf Digest called him an underwhelming champion and the Kiwi hit back in style.

Barnrat Trick Shot
Attempting to recreate Ian Poulter's trick shots on Instagram, Kiradech Aphibarnrat found things rather tricky.
Has anyone joined @kiradech in giving this a go...🤣

Stick to your golf cart before trying it on your F12 Kiradech🤦🏼
Send in your attempt and use the hashtag #ShotsUnderPressure and I will share the best ones🙌🏼 pic.twitter.com/WaHG5j0IKg

Lexi's Dog/Caddie
While this photographer hilariously snapped Lexi Thompson's half dog/half human caddie.
Is this a head cover or is @Lexi's new caddie part dog?
