The First Cut is back and today we’re talking with Brandon Wu. After a stellar senior season at Stanford, Brandon stepped into the golf spotlight by becoming the first amateur since 1957 to qualify for the U.S. Open and the Open Championship in the same summer without an exemption. We ask all the important questions like whether or not he still gets nervous when teeing it up with the other pros (20:30)? We also get Brandon to settle the score when it comes to the game’s most contentious terms, including whether or not golf is a verb (34:55).
