Open Championship Day 2 Journal
Listen now
Description
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap day two at the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, where Smylie is on-site broadcasting the major for NBC Sports. Friday's cut resulted in some shocking names missing the weekend - Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Viktor Hovland, and Bryson DeChambeau, among others - and SK explains why that was the case given the conditions at Troon. Smylie was the walker assigned to Shane Lowry's group and goes through his bizarre playing of the 11th hole resulting in double bogey, in addition to the two birdies he made coming down the stretch to take the lead. We could not make it through the episode without discussing Smylie's attire in the booth - he donned a traditional Scottish kilt to close Friday's coverage window, and explains how that went down.
