The Shotgun Start

Thursday at the Open Championship: Portrush punches, Olds fight back, & Scottie finds a likeminded partner


Listen Later

Andy is joined by a Portrush-based Brendan to recap the first round of the 2025 Open Championship. They unpack an incredibly fun day of golf and leaderboard full of SGS favorites like Lee Westwood, Jacob Skov Olesen, and Matthew Jordan. Brendan shares insights from walking the course all day, including a substantiated rumor about Scottie's warmup on the range during a practice round. The two chat through Matt Fitzpatrick's resurgence, Scottie's potentially "meaningless" 68, and the benefit of experience at Open Championships with many Olds in the red after day one. Andy runs through more "Storylines Nobody's Talking About," including the Sheriff finding a partner with jurisdiction in the United Kingdom, 19-year-old Dick Teder "aura farming" with his mullet, and Calamity Corner casualty in Cameron Young. Wyndham Clark's ban from Oakmont is discussed at length before Andy enlightens Brendan on what happened with the TV broadcast, including a star turn for a former major champion! Check back in tomorrow as the two go through all the missed cuts for the final men's major of 2025.
