Stephen Gallacher, Mackenzie Hughes and children from the Stephen Gallacher Foundation have all been supporting the DP World Tour’s Green Drive at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open, taking part in a beach clean as part of the OCEANTEE Sustainability Series. The stunning 13th is the signature hole at The Renaissance Club and Gallacher and company headed down to the adjacent beach to help the Marine Conservation Society conduct an analysis of the shoreline waste. The data collated from the beach clean will be added to a national database that helps the charity understand ocean pollution. The Marine Conservation Society also carried out an education session for the children before heading to the beach for the first of five sustainability activations that OCEANTEE will deliver at DP World Tour tournaments in the coming year to educate fans on important sustainability topics. The beach by the 13th is a beautiful place but home favourite Gallacher was surprised to find how much mess there was when you get up close. “It looked a perfectly normal clean beach but when you get down to it and you see all the plastic and towels and bags and stuff, it’s great to get it picked up and make it as clean as we can,” he said. “I’ve seen sustainability become more prominent at the Scottish Open. Now we’re seeing electric cars coming in, as Genesis are bringing in electric cars as courtesy cars. “I think you’ve just got to do it slowly and chip away and get the word out there that we’re doing our best and we’re going to keep doing that for the future.” Canadian Hughes has already been impressed by golf’s efforts in sustainability and emphasised the importance of the work both for today and the future. “We have one planet earth, taking care of the ecosystem and the environment is really important for not only us currently but our kids to come,” he said. “I played The Open Championship last year and saw their commitment to reducing plastic waste… the amount of plastic we could use on a weekly basis out here is significant with this many players and staff, so it’s a small change but it’s got a huge impact.” OCEANTEE last month became the DP World Tour’s Official Sustainable Products Supplier and Founder Ed Sandison was delighted to see the partnership raising awareness of how we need to look after our oceans. “This has been a fantastic day,” he said. “Collecting data, like the children and players have today, is an essential part of the work that the Marine Conservation Society carries out. “We all need to understand the impact that our lives have on the ocean and I am delighted that through our partnership with the DP World Tour we are able to raise awareness of the important work this amazing charity does around the country.” To view the details outlined in the Marine Conservation Society’s education session, please click here.

Zach Johnson and Thomas Pieters both fired low scores to share the 54-hole lead at 9-under at Firestone Country Club.
In his first PGA TOUR start in nearly two months, Bryson DeChambeau said he will ease into his return to action at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. “No expectations,” DeChambeau told the Golf Channel. “A great week is being here.” This week will mark just the third start of the PGA TOUR season for DeChambeau, who has been beset by a fractured bone in his left hand and a torn labrum in his left hip. He missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in late January and hasn’t played on TOUR since. Despite hoping to be able to defend his title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, he said in a taped message to fans that he was still not at 100 percent. DeChambeau also missed THE PLAYERS Championship, and his return to the TOUR will come in match play, against England’s Richard Bland, 49, in the first round of pool play Wednesday. Lee Westwood and Talor Gooch are the other two players in their group. “People are going to say it’s off of speed training and all that and, sure, some of the things have been a part of that, just abuse and working really, really hard,” DeChambeau said. “But at the same time, I wouldn’t have traded it for anything. I’ve learned so much about my body as time has gone on and learned how to manage things and how important rest is.” An eight-time TOUR winner, DeChambeau, 28, entered the Professional Long Drivers World Championship in Mesquite, Nevada, last fall, and exceeded expectations by finishing seventh. He brought that power game to the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, driving the first green in his singles victory over Sergio Garcia. DeChambeau won’t be touching 400 yards at Austin Country Club, though, and won’t even try. He said he doesn’t plan to go after the ball at full speed, and likely won’t do so until the Masters Tournament next month. He hasn’t made it out of pool play in two starts at the WGC-Dell Technologies, going 2-4-0.
