Kyrgios at the U.S Open + Rugby Union is boring + we learn more about golf


Listen Later

There’s a lot to discuss after last weekend’s sporting schedule and the US Open Tennis is no exception. Serena Williams bowed out in the 3rd round to Australian Ajla Tomljanović, and Nick Kyrgios might be growing up (but we feel conflicted). 

In the men’s AFL, 4 epic games were played to the delight of fans, and in the men’s NRL we now have a top 8 which doesn’t include the Broncos (Libby has thoughts). Rugby Union is frustrating Georgie because of All.The.Rules.

Our intern-level F1 correspondent reports on this week’s seat movements (using questionable maths) and there are pit lane highlights. 

We wanted to chat about Cameron Smith, LIV Golf and the PGA, but then we realised how little we know about golf in general. Cue: Steve Keipert, Associate Editor of Australian Golf Digest Magazine, an absolute guru on the world of golf and the man who literally wrote the book “Golf for Dummies”. 

There’s a new movie on Netflix that; a) is about sport and, b) has Adam Sandler in the lead role. Say no more. It’s not Happy Gilmore, but it is absolutely worth watching.
