It was another win for Scottie Scheffler as he took the BMW Championship for his 5th win of the year and he keeps his incredible 3 year run on the PGA Tour going. Even though he didn't have his "A" game, Scheffler was able to chase down a shakey Robert MacIntyre early on Sunday and shut the door with a dramatic chip-in birdie on the 17th hole at Caves Valley on Sunday. We will talk about the ramifications of the BMW Championship on the Ryder Cup and Tour Championship this week at East Lake as well as other topics surrounding the PGA Tour. LIV Golf finished their regular season as Jon Rahm won the regular season title, without actually winning an event. We will discuss how it could possibly happen that Rahm wins, eventhough Joaquin Niemann won 5 events. The United States Amateur Championship headed west the last couple of weeks as the men played at the Olympic Club and the women at Bandon Dunes. We will discuss both, including an insane run by Jimmy Abdo, who is one of us from here in Minnesota. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content.

The 1955 U.S. Open Golf Championship was supposed to be the crowning achievement to one of the greatest careers in the history of sports. Golf enthusiasts and sports fans all thought the U.S. Open, staged at San Francisco's Olympic Club, was a virtual lock for Ben Hogan to win. In fact, Hogan almost proved everyone to be right. The Hawk calculated what he needed to shoot to win on this "terror" of a course. And, he wasn't that far off. Hogan found himself 5-strokes back after the first round having shot a 2-over 72. He then started working his way up the leaderboard by shooting a 3-over 73 in round 2, a 2-over 72 in round 3 and an even-par 70 in the final round, five strokes better then all but one other golfer. No one ever considered journeyman Jack Fleck to contend. But, he too worked a little magic that weekend. After a first round 76, Fleck fired a 1-under 69 in the second round, followed that with a 5-over 75 in the third round and then he masterfully conquered the course by shooting a 3-under 67 in the final round and found himself in a tie with Hogan. The two would face each other in an 18-hole playoff the next day. Fleck was a huge fan of Hogan. In fact, he was the first to carry Ben Hogan golf clubs in his bag. He was would follow Hogan around the course to see how Ben played. He even wore the same type of hat, sweater and slacks as Ben. Fleck had never won an official TOUR event. And now he was going to face his idol over the course of 18 holes for a date with infamy. Incredibly, he did it. He outlasted Hogan in the playoff to win the 1955 U.S. Open and enter his name into golf lore. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, Neil Sagebiel who wrote the book "The Longest Shot," joins the podcast to talk about the career of Jack Fleck and that one magical weekend in June of 1955 when Davey took down Goliath.

Six-time major championship winner Lee Trevino begins his story with a few hilarious tales involving him and Bruce Devlin before he takes us back to his humble upbringing in Texas. Raised by his mother and grandfather, Lee was self-taught as a golfer but undisciplined as a young man. Entering the Marine Corps at age 17 was a life-changing experience for Lee and it wasn't until age 23 that he began to take the game more seriously. He hadn't heard of Jack Nicklaus when the PGA came to the Dallas Athletic Club in 1963. Qualifying for the 1966 U.S. Open at Olympic Club provided him with an opportunity to see elite players first-hand. We finish with Lee and Bruce speaking about their good friend David Graham and the origin of his nickname, "DOG." Lee Trevino recounts his early life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Welcome back to the Brain Booster for another week. Thank you for supporting the show, it really is appreciated. From time to time people question me about my seemingly indifferent approach to ‘working' on the golf swing. And that all I want people to do is ‘just play' This couldn't be further from the truth as I have always believed that the key to great golf is a blend of swing efficiency coupled with a great mindset. I do not believe in endlessly dissecting your swing and obsessing over positions but I do believe in having a good understanding of what creates your SHOTS. It was with that in mind I wanted to welcome back a great coach from the USA and a big supporter of the podcast Kelvin Kelley to discuss how best to make your swing more efficient. We discuss: How the set up is the very best place to start making your swing more efficient. Why you can set up in a way to help you create a powerful impact position Feeling a dynamic impact position with an impact bag Hitting angles at address How to turn the switch to performance on the golf course Becoming a ‘shot detective' out on the golf course Letting the shot create the swing How your physiology affects your performance How your lifestyle dramatically affects your performance Some really solid and interesting concepts from a top coach Kelvin is a Class A PGA golf professional in San Francisco, California. He has taught at some of the top golf clubs in the Bay Area, which include The Olympic Club and Sonoma Golf Club. Kelvin was recently voted a “Top Instructor To Watch” by golf.com and has written several articles for golf.com and GolfWRX. Kelvin works with his students to develop an efficient golf swing.

Today we welcome back onto the Brain Booster my good friend Vin Harris. The previous shows with Vin and the discussions around mindfulness have been so well received and I believe this one will be no exception. We get the chance to look at chaos, uncertainty and impermanence in your game and in the game of life. We seem to be living now in such a chaotic world. Nothing seems to be solid and reliable and the old models seem inappropriate. Uncertain economics, worrying international conflict. So many changes which can be really disturbing. Our thoughts can become so unsettled. We can end up in a ‘sea of thought' and this type of thinking can easily follow us out onto the golf course When our mind is so busy it becomes increasingly difficult to be PRESENT to the next shot in front of you. What can we do about it? How can we begin to have a different relationship to our thinking so we can NOTICE our thinking as opposed to being lost in the endless flow of images and sensations. Vin provides us with a CALM and SAFE voice of reason to help us navigate the uncertainty. When we make peace with the uncertainty things seem to settle down We look again at GRATITUDE and how this idea is not just a flaky concept but an essential element of great performance How to care without worrying How to get out of the way of ourselves How to basically be a better friend to ourselves both on and off the course. A wonderful session with a man who has trained with some of the foremost Buddhist and Meditation teachers over the past 40 years or so As always you will gain so much listening to the wise words of Vin Harris Vin Harris was involved in writing and editing “Mindful Heroes – stories of journeys that changed lives”.
