Description

Andy and Brendan check in after an eventful Saturday at Royal Liverpool that may leave us with a relatively academic Sunday. Brian Harman leads by five, but they discuss his round and how the good conditions allowed for some scratchiness that could come back to bite him with Cam Young and Jon Rahm as the immediate chasers. They discuss those two, their low scores, and how the likes of Tommy, Rory, and Jordan couldn’t do the same. There’s some level of critique for all three, particularly on Rory’s putting. They ponder who is actually a contender anymore given the spread, as well as the flop that was the 17th hole. They close with a longer Ryder Cup chat as Justin Thomas’s candidacy for a roster spot seems to have become a hot topic while some of the on-course developments have lagged. It wraps with a few compliments for Zinger analogies!

The Shotgun Start with Andy Johnson of The Fried Egg and Brendan Porath is a podcast waiting for you early in the morning that quickly blasts through a variety of topics (usually) related to golf and (ideally) relevant to the day. It covers news from the pro tours around the world, amusing and important topics from the amateur game the rest of us play, and some irreverent stuff in between. There will be short interviews, previews, reviews, and dives into the archives. It provides what you need to know on golf through a rapid and fun catch-up discussion.
