Billy Horschel is making waves at The Open, not just with his impressive iron and wood play but also with his distinctive West Ham United-branded golf bag. The American golfer has surged into contention with a blistering third round, positioning himself as a strong contender for his first major championship title.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the honoury Iron said:
“Listen, whenever I try to come over here I try to get the West Ham bag out and hear ‘Up the Hammers’ and ‘Come on you Irons’,” Horschel said. “I’ve been very fortunate that other supporters of other clubs have been gracious enough to be nice to me compared to maybe how they may be to a fellow English person supporting a West Ham fan!”
After a somewhat shaky start to the tournament, Horschel has found his rhythm, stringing together impressive rounds to shoot up the leader board.
Go on Billy !
