It is almost here! The final men’s major of the year is nigh and Brendan and Andy are full of energy for this beefy but constantly entertaining Open, or British Open, preview podcast. They begin with some thoughts on what makes the Open special, relying on player testimony, their own interactions, and some of the challenges of Royal Troon that they cannot wait to see in action. They discuss some of their favorite and not-so-favorite storylines, including the heavyweight contenders like Rory, Rahm, Bryson, Ludvig, Xander, and of course, Scottie. Their usual major tradition of picking out best and worst tee times goes down a winding path on Tiger Woods being “too busy” to be Ryder Cup captain, Tommy Morrison, Dan Bradbury, Just-a-Guy statuses, and much more. A new set of games-within-the-game is drawn up pitting some titans against each other. Finally, and after a lengthy chat about the best berries, they pick winners for The Open.
