Austin Connelly is making a name for himself at the British Open this week. Connelly birdied his last two holes for a 66 on Saturday, leaving him six shots out of the lead and in the penultimate group with U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka. Spieth has known Connelly for several years, and they share the same swing coach in Cameron McCormick. McCormick is staying the entire week in England — he usually leaves by the weekend — to accompany Connelly next week to the European Tour event in Germany. Finishing in the top 15 gets back into the British Open next year.
