In this episode of Hold the Green, Twitterless Steve and Capper preview the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills, covering course setup expectations, Father's Day plans, and how the USGA may lean on softer, slower greens to avoid a repeat of 2018's controversy. The crew debates whether fairway accuracy will actually matter given the wide corridors, and instead emphasizes approach play from 100–200 yards out, short game, and the grinding mentality required in difficult wind. They walk through a tip chart featuring Patrick Reed, Fitzpatrick, Gotterup, Cam Young, Henley, Hatton, and Xander before recapping their full betting cards. Props discussed include mallet over blade and an under on winning score, with Thursday birdie angles also on the table. The episode closes with condolences for Mike Strauss, who produced key tournament fact sheets for the show.
