The up-and-comer is Cole Hammer … who captured the attention of the golf world this week when he cried before his 1st shot because he was overcome by the moment.

“It reminds me about everything the sport has done for me,” Daly says … “and quite frankly drives me to get off my ass and play more.”

Hammer is the 3rd youngest player to ever compete in the U.S. Open — and Daly says the kid’s determination is truly inspiring.

“He accomplished something most people will never get to after years of trying … kids everywhere are going to see this and dream. I’m proud of him.”

French Montana wants respect from more than just the hip hop world, and he thinks Nick Cannon is his ticket.

French has a plan … and it starts with a vast number of young men in the world of skateboarding. Nick has a very popular skateboard shop in L.A.’s hip Fairfax district called Psych Ward. French has cut a deal for space in Nick’s shop to sell merchandise under his Coke Boys Records umbrella.

And there’s a bonus … Nick isn’t charging French a penny for the space.

French’s pop-up shop opens on June 27th. First skateboarders … then the world!
