YOU'D BETTER KNOW
------------------------------------------------------------
Open challenge. Despite favorable conditions to start the week, one thing is certain - the toughest course in the British Open rotation (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/17/2018-british-open-lynch-carnoustie-can-be-a-killer-even-before-first-clout/) has the respect of every competitor.
Tiger time. Tiger Woods gave some telling insight this week when asked about his chances at the British Open (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/17/british-open-tiger-woods-admits-the-open-is-best-chance-to-win-major/) compared to other majors.
Opening test. The R&A took some interesting measures against the distance issue by randomly testing (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/18/british-open-ra-chief-martin-slumbers-addresses-driver-testing/) 30 players' drivers ahead Round 1.
Friendly links? It's called "Carnasty" for a reason, but pristine weather, baked out fairways and receptive greens could actually mean low scores come Sunday (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/18/british-open-prediction-carnoustie-will-get-its-first-double-digit-under-par-winner/) .

** IN THE MAG
------------------------------------------------------------
Running away. This week's digital magazine looks at Michael Kim's win at the John Deere, Patrick Reed's surprising new passion and what to watch for at the British Open.

** DID YOU SEE THAT?
------------------------------------------------------------
Phil flop. Phil Mickelson is nothing if not an entertainer. And we are 100 percent serious without an ounce of hyperbole when we say you need to see this video of Mickelson hitting a flop shot (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/17/phil-mickelson-shows-off-classic-flop-shot-trick-at-british-open/) over another person to believe it.

** RANK 'EM
------------------------------------------------------------
This week’s rankings: With the British Open in full swing, let's take a look at the most consistent links contenders with players who own the longest cuts made streak (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/18/zach-johnson-hails-british-open-as-purest-form-of-golf-we-have/) in this event.
5. Adam Scott, 8. Is this the week he finally makes some noise again during major week?
4. Dustin Johnson, 8. It doesn't matter which side of the pond you're on with game like DJ's.
3. Henrik Stenson, 9. And who can forget his epic 2016 class with Phil Mickelson?
2. Steve Stricker, 10. Has made a ridiculous 27 cuts in a row at majors and still going strong at age 52.

1. Zach Johnson, 11. The 2015 champion missed the cut his first three tries and hasn't looked back since.

** SCORECARD
------------------------------------------------------------
7. ​As in a triple-bogey 7 for Jean Van de Velde during the most infamous major collapse in history at the 1999 British Open at Carnoustie, something he continues to handle with class (https://golfweek.com/2018/07/18/the-forecaddie-jean-van-de-velde-still-handles-1999-with-absolute-class/) on an annual basis.
