After multiple heartbreaks, Tommy Fleetwood finally finished off a tournament at East Lake and got his first victory on the PGA Tour at East Lake. Fleetwood remained steady as other players including Patrick Cantlay and Scottie Scheffler faded down the stretch. Fleetwood's victory gets the monkey off his back after years of near misses and collapses while leading PGA Tour tournaments. Now the attention of the golf world shifts to the Ryder Cup and American captain Keegan Bradley. Will he pick himself this week as a playing captain? Will Cameron Young, Ben Griffin and/or Chris Gotterup make their Ryder Cup debuts at Bethpage Black? We will know for certain in a few days, but we are here to speculate on who he may pick this week.

Well we called it. Scottie monstered the field in The Open Championship.Okay, we didn't call it, in fact our Betr multi was a bust on every leg....we will make formal apologies at some point on today's podcast, you deserve nothing less.But.....Scottie was magnificent, and controlled the tournament, certainly over the weekend, and we start today with Nick and Mark discussing some of the most impressive parts of Scottie's performance: his putting, his recovery from poor shots, his composure. Exceptional. Nick says the player interviews post the tournament and prior to the final day reminded him of when he was playing and Tiger dominated, in that everyone felt that they were playing for second place, Scottie was that good.Then Mark makes a big call on Scottie and how many tournaments he will win, Mark doesn't believe he will win over 10 majors in his career, as he feels that his footwork will limit him at some point. Nick disagrees, and says Scottie has plenty of years left and will get to double figures.Nick talks about playing with Harris English who he said was exceptional then, and now, and highlights what the weakness in Harris' game was when he played with him. Mark raises the Ryder Cup and says that surely Chris Gotterup is a certainty to be picked now, Nick says no.We discuss the Aussies. A poor tournament overall, with Marc Leishman the only one to make the cut, ultimately finishing T52. Mark raises Cam Smith, and his consistent poor performances in the majors, and says that whilst LIV has been great for Bryson's game for example, it has not been good for Cams, and he just has to start hitting fairways. Nick comments that Brysons performance at the weekend was very strong after a terrible first day, and Mark predicts that we will see Rahm have a 'cracking' 2026 season and explains why.Both Nick and Mark loved how Royal Portrush looked, Mark is desperate to play it. Nick loved the drone shots. And we discuss how on the hardest hole on the course, Scottie birdied Calamity 3 days of the 4....Mark would like a plaque to be placed there to commemorate it.Then we apologise for our Betr multi, although Nick notes one leg would have come off were it not for Shane Lowry's 2-shot penalty, Mark wasn't aware of it, so we play the audio and discuss. But one person does win, wolfpacker Narelle Brunotte was drawn as our winner - she had a punt on our Betr multi and whilst the multi was a dismal failure, Narelle has won 250 bucks to spend at the Golf Clearance Outlet...congrats Narelle!Mark lists his Top 5 courses in Ireland that he'd like to play, has he missed any obvious ones?As you'd expect, the PING global results today have a big focus on The Open Championship, although we do digress for a moment with a video that contained an unusual sound.....we play the audio, and if you're watching on YouTube you will see the Shepmates take on it....very funny. During PING globals, Nick tells a great story that has come out of an Australasian Q-School in the US at the weekend.Feedback - lots of comments on last weeks Top 100 World Golf Course List with Jasper from the Top100 organisation, and plenty of comments - some in support, and some not - on LIV seeking OWGR points.Nick's masterclass today is inspired by Scottie Scheffler and looks at why aiming for the middle of the green is more effective than aiming for the pin.A fun pod today, and a feedback one to come later this week which we're looking forward to!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

Die wêreld-nommer-een, Scottie Scheffler, het die 153ste Ope-kampioenskap by Royal Portrush in Noord-Ierland gewen en daarmee sy vierde major-titel opgeraap. Die Amerikaner het met vier houe geseëvier ná ʼn finale ronde van 68 om op 17 onder baansyfer te eindig. Sy landgenoot, Harris English, is tweede op 13 onder en Chris Gotterup op 12 is derde. Rory McIlroy wat graag ʼn geskiedkundige oorwinning op sy tuisgrond wou behaal, deel die sewende plek. Scheffler sê hy het die hele toernooi goed gespeel:
With the dust settling on Scottie Scheffler's emphatic win at Royal Portrush, Michael, James and Lewis reflect on an epic week in Northern Ireland. What is the new ‘Champion Golfer of the Year's' major ceiling? Could he challenge Tiger's haul? Maybe even Jack's? Or is that mental? Also, what about Rory? How many more chances will he have to win the Claret Jug on home soil? Is the Dunluce Links now permanently on the Open rota? And is Chris Gotterup a US Ryder Cup team lock? The guys debate all of this – plus cows, ghosts and Gary Player – on a particularly feisty, sleep-deprived ep of The bunkered Podcast.

The Smylie Show is on the road this week! Smylie Kaufman joins from the airport after a fun week in Tahoe, with Charlie Hulme on a quick trip to Ponte Vedra Beach. SK and CH begin the show recapping Chris Gotterup's breakthrough win at the Scottish Open, and whether he can complement his skill driving the ball with more complete performances like what we saw in North Berwick to take his game to the next level. After a near miss and a T2 in Scotland, Smylie and Charlie discuss a more relaxed looking Rory McIlroy, and where that positions him heading into a home game at Royal Portrush. Brandel Chamblee then joins Smylie to close the episode with a wide-ranging first look at the Open Championship, both previewing the 153rd edition and discussing whether some historic anchor sites like the Old Course can stand up to the increasing impact of technology on the game. Brandel closes with some analysis and predictions on who could emerge victorious at Portrush.

Chris Gotterup staired down world number 2 Rory McIlroy on his way to the Scottish Open title at the Renaissance Club. The stunning win gets Gotterup into the Open Championship at Royal Portrush and into the Ryder Cup conversation for Bethpage Black. The top players in the world all played well this week including Rory, Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland in Scotland and Jon Rahm in Spain. Will we see an epic Open Champinship at Royal Portrush? Women's professional golf may have given us one of the wildest finishes in the history of golf at the Evian Masters this week. Grace Kim played the final 6 holes(including the playoff) to steal a major title from Jeeno Thitikul. This leads us into the discussion about if a mens scratch golfer could beat an LPGA professional. Anyone with commons sense knows this answer, but we will discuss it on this week's episode. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content.

Die wêreld se nommer 158, Chris Gotterup, het Rory McIlroy 'n tweede Skotse Ope-titel ontsê. Die Amerikaner het die finale ronde met 66 afgesluit om met twee houe te wen - die grootste oorwinnng van sy loopbaan. McIlroy deel die tweede plek met Marco Penge van Engeland. Nicolai Højgaard van Denemarke, saam met Gotterup, het 'n vierde plek verseker in volgende week se Ope-kampioenskap met 'n telling van 64. Gotterup sê hy het dit geniet om teen McIlory te speel:
With all due respect to the Dick's Open and the ISCO Championship, Andy's Event of the Week, this episode was recorded immediately following the Scottish Open due to Brendan's recurring air travel cancellations. Chris Gotterup outdueled Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, and the clock at the Renaissance Club to capture the Scottish Open title, the biggest win of his career to date. Andy and Brendan discuss Gotterup's continued development as a player and his battle against the shot clock on Sunday before mentioning strong performances from Rory, Scottie Scheffler, and Marco Penge in Scotland. The two then touch on the Evian Championship which ended in a playoff win for Grace Kim after perhaps the greatest closing stretch to a major in history. Andy and Brendan analyze this win in the greater context of the women's game and also note that Lottie Woad has earned enough points for an LPGA Tour card following this event. Lastly, Talor Gooch won LIV Andalucía despite a late charge from Jon Rahm, who believes he's currently hitting the ball better than he has at any point in the last two years. Rahm's comments lead to a bit of an Open power rankings discussion before Brendan wraps with some news coming out of Stefan Schauffele's latest interview. Watch our Open Championship preview LIVE on YouTube at 4 pm ET on Tuesday for continued coverage!

Jim sits down with Coach Ryan Hybl, the head coach of the University of Oklahoma Men's Golf team and recent inductee into the Golf Coaches Association of America Hall of Fame. Coach Hybl shares his journey through junior golf as a top ranked played, playing collegiately and starting coaching at the University of Georgia and eventually coming to Norman in 2009. We discuss how he rebuilt the Sooners' program from the ground up, eventually leading to a NCAA Championship in 2017. Coach Hybl discusses his philosophy on player development, recruiting overlooked talent, and fostering a team-first culture. He highlights stories of standout players like Max McGreevy, Quade Cummins, and Chris Gotterup, emphasizing how belief, hard work, and leadership have shaped the program's sustained excellence. In the Opening Tee Shot, Jim is joined by Justin Bardgett from the PGA Tour Pathways to discuss the recently announced changes to the PGA Tour University and Accelerated system, further strengthening the links between high-level college golf and playing professionally. In Angle of Attack with Andrew Lewis, Andrew discusses techniques, strategies and mindset for managing tough conditions (turf, wind and temperature) that are typical in many parts of the country during the winter months.
