Listen Later

Bryson DeChambeau's controversial two-stroke penalty stole the headlines at The Open, but it was far from the only story coming out of Royal Birkdale.

This week, Matt Parker and Rob Ellsworth break down why the course produced both record-low rounds and a winning score of just 10-under. Rob also shares his firsthand perspective from playing Royal Birkdale and every Open rota course in Europe.

They also discuss:

  • Whether Bryson deserved the penalty
  • Why Rory vs. Bryson is becoming golf's biggest rivalry
  • What makes links golf so different from American golf
  • How social media has changed both golf and politics

    • Do you think the R&A got the Bryson ruling right?
