Two of the biggest events of the week, the RBC Canadian Open and the Senior Open Championship, only had one equipment manufacturer's tour van present at each. Staffers for the vans keep busy servicing all the players' requests. Plus, why the driver made such an impact at the Canadian Open, Morgan Pressel's Callaway equipment gives her more distance, a Futures Tour equipment disqualification disaster and more.
