This year the Royal Liverpool Golf Club is hosting the Open on its lush grounds. And many PGA Tour players who belong to different countries are currently in Hoylake to play at the event and they are practicing real hard. The excitement, among golfers as well as fans, is going up by the hour.

But not everyone is letting the magnitude of the tournament affect them too much. A PGA Tour professional took part in an interesting activity where he had to guess what certain British words meant. Let’s find out how he fared.

PGA Tour Pro tries decoding some tough British words

South Korea’s Tom Kim is slowly making his mark in the golf world. After giving a great performance at last week’s Scottish Open where he finished T6, Kim continued his stay in England. This week he is prepping for one of the biggest tournaments of his career so far, The Open Championship. And while the 21-year-old is practicing hard, the PGA Tour had a fun activity with the golfer to keep him entertained. The video of the game was shared by PGA Tour where Kim could be seen guessing the meanings of many British words.

Kim got half the words right but now and then he was also surprised by some new words. And his reaction was just priceless.

In the video, he correctly guessed that ‘Loo’ means bathroom, and ‘lift’ means elevator. However, he failed to understand ‘lorry’ which means truck, and ‘nappy’ which he thought was related to ‘nap’ but it actually means diaper. But he was quick to answer the meaning of ‘petro’ which is gas, and ‘queue’ which means ‘line’. He was quite confused by the British exclamation ‘Blimey’ which the interviewer explained to him, that it is used to show surprise. Kim responded he was ‘blimeyed’ to hear the word. 

The next tough one was ‘Tom’s dishy’ which made Kim laugh. ‘I’m dishy, does that mean I’m sketch?’ he asked. The reporter replied, “It means that you are hot and attractive.” Tom looked pleased. “Okay, Am I dishy?” When the interviewer informed Kim that he didn’t do bad and guessed half the words correctly, Kim jokingly said, “Only half, shame. You English people are weird.” The activity gave Kim a fun break while preparing for the upcoming Open Championship.

Tom Kim’s performance at the major tournaments of 2023

This is a big year for the Korean golfer who participated in all three major tournaments so far. In the Master Tournament, he finished  T16 which was a good start but he couldn’t make the cut at PGA Championship. Although he bounced back at the US Open with a stellar performance and finished T8. An incredible achievement at such a young age.
