You may have noticed a British Open contender doing something strange:

A kind of foot follow-through kick move. Due to a painful blister on his left Achilles, Si Woo Kim is finding it hard to rotate in his swing. The only way he can is to swing his right foot around, too. "Somehow I have to twist [around] it. It's so hard," he says. "It wasn't hurting much last week, and it started killing me the last couple days." Kim was hitting some wayward shots early in his round because of it, but the swing-kick move lessened as the round went on because the painkillers began kicking-in.
