Airline loses PGA golfer's clubs on flight to British Open


Canadian golfer Graham DeLaet took off for Scotland on Saturday, ready to take on the world’s best golfers and win this weekend’s The Open Championship at St. Andrews.
Irish airline Aer Lingus got DeLaet to his destination safe and sound. Too bad it couldn’t do the same for his golf clubs.
When the 33-year-old DeLaet landed in Scotland, he soon realized the airline had lost his tools of the trade, and it looked like he wasn’t having much luck tracking them down.
Ok @AerLingus, enough is enough. I kind of need my golf clubs for @TheOpen. How is it possible to not even know where it is? #figureitout

Apparently, once he stepped on to the famed course Monday, DeLaet didn’t let the little fact that he didn’t have his clubs deter his joy of being at St. Andrews.

Then he caught up with his caddie.

Wait, you notice something on Trudeau’s shoulder? Yup … turns out Titleist was looking out for its golfer.
Big thanks to @TitleistonTour for hooking me up with a set of hooks this morning so I could play a practice round. pic.twitter.com/xL4QJf06Cj

They may only be backups for a practice round, but DeLaet may want to hold on to them a little longer, just in case Aer Lingus turns out to be as bad as the airline in “Meet the Parents.”
