TROON, Scotland (AP) -- Where's the beef at the British Open?
Right there on the leaderboard.
Andrew Johnston, a burly, bearded Englishman who answers to ''Beef,'' has become the fan favorite at Royal Troon with his brilliant shots and jovial demeanor over the first three rounds.
This is a guy everyone seems to relate to.
He sends the love right back.
''I'm no different than anyone else,'' Johnston said. ''That's how I see it. I'll talk and chat to anyone. It really doesn't bother me. I like meeting new people and I don't care where they're from and who they are - if they're nice, I get on well with them and I'm going to make friends.
