## Resource

Team USA wins their World Cup opener against Paraguay and expectations have never been higher. It’s a tough look for the Phil Mickelson fans of the world after he’s booted from his home club amid allegations of "inappropriate touching”. Bud Cauley wins the RBC Canadian open for his first ever victory on tour. The US Open returns to Shinnecock, where Brooks Koepka won in 2018 and where Zach Johnson claimed the USGA “lost the course”. #WorldCup #USOpen
