Ep. 128 US Open Carnage: How Wyndham Clark Survived Shinnecock
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The US Open delivered exactly what golf fans expect: brutal conditions, impossible-looking greens and a champion who simply refused to break.
Steve and Andy unpack Wyndham Clark's remarkable second US Open victory at Shinnecock Hills, where a six-shot overnight lead almost disappeared before Clark steadied himself to claim another major title. The boys discuss the incredible scrambling display that proved decisive, the mental resilience required to survive the final round, and why one shot on the 16th hole may have changed the entire tournament.
The conversation also dives into the unique challenge of Shinnecock itself. From massive fairways to terrifying green complexes and late-afternoon Poa Annua putting surfaces, this was a golf course that punished even the slightest mistake.
Elsewhere, the lads discuss:
- The growing problem of poor spectator behaviour in professional golf.
- Sam Burns' latest major heartbreak and whether his breakthrough moment is still to come.
- Scottie Scheffler's quiet challenge and why chasing majors may not suit him as much as leading them.
- Adam Scott's extraordinary achievement of 100 consecutive major appearances.
- The disappointing week for the Australian contingent.
- What the latest strokes gained data tells us about the real keys to scoring on the toughest courses in the world.
Plus, a reminder that while putting matters, elite ball striking continues to separate contenders from everyone else.
A US Open packed with storylines, controversy, resilience and a timely lesson about what it really takes to win when par is a great score.
Rock out, Pilgrims. ⛳🎸
