This special Tuesday episode recaps U.S. Open Final Qualifying, whipping around from site to site with some amusing anecdotes. They begin with a #scoop on how this 2021 U.S. Open may have to be played under protest thanks to an indiscriminate slow play penalty handed out at one qualifying site that cost a Tour pro his spot in the championship. Then they praise, somewhat, Rickie Fowler\u2019s approach to qualifying, sticking around an extra day in Columbus and playing in a 12-man playoff for a second alternate spot. There\u2019s debate over the players who WD and if there should be a penalty for not riding it out.\xa0\xa0With several hot KFT pros qualifying, an old but angrier take is rekindled after Brendan and Andy discover there\u2019s a Korn Ferry Tour event opposite the U.S. Open. They conclude by picking a few qualifiers they think could actually contend and some potential alternate sites that could be put in the rotation in the future.
