High school biology teacher, Colin Prater, unexpectedly finds himself competing in the prestigious US Open golf tournament.
The situation is reminiscent of the plotline from the movie 'Tin Cup', where a relatively unknown player rises to the challenge on a big stage.
Prater's journey at the US Open reflects the theme of unexpected opportunities and underdog stories in sports.

President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will end his presidential re-election campaign, bringing an abrupt and humbling conclusion to his half-century-long political career and scrambling the race for the White House less than four months before Election Day.
