Andy and Brendan close out the week at LACC with this review of the U.S. Open finale. They discuss the anger and furor over the width of the 18th fairway not punishing Wyndham Clark’s heave up the last. They get in to Clark’s victory, praising his strengths over four days while also being incredulous that this is someone who played an opposite field event just several weeks ago. They discuss the “deflation” factor of a Sunday with some of the crowd issues, the course hollering, and Rory McIlroy disappointment. There’s significant time spent on Rory, and whether this is worse or harder to take than the Old Course, where and how he made his mistakes, and how severe a critique should be levied for this runner-up. Scottie, Cam, Tommy, and a few others are also reviewed. LACC as a host is given one final discussion, from the awful ticket issues that continued to bubble up as a story on Sunday, to the setup and conditioning. They close with a few amusements from the broadcast and look ahead to the … Travelers? Thanks to B.Draddy (use promo code SGS30 for 30 percent off) for supporting us this week in LA.
