A 2026 U.S. Open Preview from Shinnecock Hills

About this episode

Andy and Brendan are live from Southampton and bursting with enthusiasm for what may be the major championship of the year, the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. They begin with some initial reactions to the golf course setup and conditioning after a couple days on the ground, discussing a potential clarity and change in approach for the USGA at this venue that has produced controversy the last two times around. They review the stars and “guys to monitor” from Scottie to Rory to Bryson and more. They rip through their favorite tee times and nominate a “worst” tee time as is custom for every major preview episode. They bring in KVV and Joseph late for a Flashback on a past rules controversy, some further thoughts about the course setup, and their picks across the board to win.
