Why The Open is No. 1, Brooksys major prep, and Roseys schedule complaints

Published: July 17, 2019, 4:30 a.m.

It\u2019s Open eve and we begin this Wednesday episode full of gratitude and anticipation and\xa0 a few reasons why each of us have come to hold this major as our favorite on the men\u2019s schedule. We drive off the cliff and discuss the Barbasol field for longer than we should before getting back on track, reviewing some fun quotes coming out of the pre-championship press conferences. First we go to Brooks Koepka\u2019s quip that he doesn\u2019t practice for non-majors and that the only time you see him on TV is when he\u2019s playing golf. Then we get into a lengthy discussion on Justin Rose\u2019s comments that the new schedule has failed to \u201cprotect\u201d the major championships, choosing, instead, to prioritize the FedExCup. We then move to some of our favorite tee times for the first couple days at Royal Portrush, from the stars to the hotheads to some of the tough draws. Before we wrap with our one-and-done picks, we discuss Royal Portrush, it\u2019s stout traits, the weather that may not come, the concept of internal out-of-bounds.
