Summary

Alejandro Zendejas, Christian Pulisic, and Weston McKennie from the USMNT sought an alternative transport method on June 21 after finding themselves stranded due to a traffic accident on Pacific Coast Highway. Originally trying to order a rideshare for a pizza outing, the three players visited SC Carts to consider purchasing a golf cart. After realizing who they were, the dealership owner, Cole Schamber, offered them a ride back to their hotel in Laguna Niguel, California. They ended the day with a fist bump before leaving the cart.
