Show notes
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap a truly wild finish to the 125th U.S. Open, including five players holding a share of the lead at one point on the back nine at Oakmont. Eventual champion JJ Spaun won in style, finishing birdie-birdie after a chaotic five-over start to post the only under-par score of the week at the demanding Pennsylvania venue.
Smylie and Charlie discuss the big implications for Ryder Cup qualification, Rory McIlroy's strange week that culminated with the best round of the day on Sunday, and whether Scottie Scheffler's schedule needs changing if he is to contend in future U.S. Open championships.
We discuss all of that and more - including a Happy Father's Day to all from our show. Donโ€™t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more golf talk and breakdown of major championships.
