British Open 2016: Players wear ribbons to mourn terror victims in Nice, France

Dozens of people were senselessly murdered in Nice, France, during Bastille Day on Thursday. That hit home for several players in The Open Championship, many of whom play all over Europe during their careers. Some of them are from France, and one of those hit hardest is Clement Sordet.

Sordet, who went to Texas Tech and lives in Nice, won the Turkish Airlines Challenge in May which is part of the Challenge Tour (the European Tour's minor leagues). He has played just four European Tour tournaments in his career. This is his first career major championship.
