Despite being one of the oldest and most reputed golf tournaments, the title Open is often confused, and fans end up calling it by other names such as US Open or British Open. In the recent video posted by Spiranac on her Twitter handle, she humbly requested that golf enthusiasts not make a similar mistake.

She said, “Major season is sadly coming to an end with The Open this week, and your yearly reminder to say “The Open” not “The British Open”. Sharing about the consequences of what might just happen in the case of this mistake, she hilariously said that anyone who makes the error “will make golf purists’ mind explode.”

She also gave a preview of the tournament and shared details such as the event’s venue, par, and yards. She also gave honorable mention to Cameron Smith for being the defending champion and to Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods for being two of the most notable winners of the major.

But the 33-year-old’s video just did not end here, as she asked her fans to hold on for something special!
