Show Notes

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme look back at a highly entertaining week at Royal Troon which saw wild weather, a challenging course setup, and Xander Schauffele hoisting the Claret Jug as the winner of the 152nd Open Championship. Smylie and Charlie marvel at the new level Xander has reached this season, shedding the "best player to have never won a major tag" by winning two in his last three tries. SK and CH also reflect on the weeks of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm, and how each will evaluate their respective major performances in 2024. The show wraps with a brief discussion of the conditions at Troon before Smylie heads off to begin a golf trip in Ireland!
