The Edge

"He Looks Like He Could Be Changing Oil"


Listen Later

The U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills — Scott's favorite course on Earth — and The Edge is all in. Scott and Andy break down what makes Shinnecock such a brutal, beautiful test (50-yard-wide fairways, whispering fescue, and wind that "never misses a tee time"), then go head-to-head in Majors Poker, each drafting a five-player hand to take on the championship. No spoilers here — you'll have to watch to see who loaded up on pedigree and who bet on the conditions. Along the way: a strokes-gained screen that spit out only four "qualified" players, a Ludvig Åberg snub debate, Andy's rant on the golf-ball rollback, and an all-time roast of Tommy Fleetwood's wardrobe. Then it's the Bars Exam — Scott hands Andy two lines from a classic New York rap track and makes him name the group cold. Does he get it? Press play and find out.
