Sunday at the U.S. Open: Rahms win, Bryson off the rails, and Torrey postmortem

Published: June 21, 2021, 3:48 a.m.

b'After a brief wait for the flyover to clear through, Andy and Brendan begin with the last episode on the 2021 U.S. Open. It\\u2019s been a week, but they\\u2019re giddy following an afternoon of bunched (constipated) leaderboard maneuvering and some unexpected extracurriculars, like Bryson coming undone, a streaker, a box of beer somehow being on the premises, and a ball in a tree. They start first with Rahm, his \\u201cfiring at flags\\u201d approach and of course the final two putts. There\\u2019s chatter about what\\u2019s to come, but mostly it\\u2019s an appreciation of what just happened. They express sympathy for the Mattress King, though Brendan doesn\\u2019t fully absolve him because of the drive at 17. The Bryson circus is re-lived, from a tie for the lead to t-26, with amusing quotes about how it was really just one unlucky break or two between that and getting to 7 or 8-under. Rory, all of it, is addressed. They close with a postmortem on Torrey Pines, why people can\\u2019t seem to understand why a good or bad leaderboard does not equal a good or bad golf course, and a few other things they liked and didn\\u2019t like from muni setup.'
