Fresh off a thrilling finish at Royal Birkdale which saw him hoist the Claret Jug, Ryan Fox joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to relive his first major win at the 2026 Open Championship — only the fourth Kiwi to win a major, and the first to bring the Claret Jug home to New Zealand since Bob Charles in 1963. Fox walks through his major championship record-tying 62 on Saturday (and the improbable fairway bunker shot on 18 that capped it off), the driver decision on the 13th that swung his Sunday momentum, an incredible approach at 16, and the nerves he felt reading the winning birdie putt on 18.Plus: A brand new Srixon driver responsible for some of the most clutch shots he hit all week + the Z-STAR ball that gave him an edge over the rest of the field in the windy conditions, his dad Grant Fox's legendary All Blacks career and 1987 Rugby World Cup win, New Zealand's golf course boom, whether a PGA Tour event or Presidents Cup could ever land in New Zealand, and a detour into Fox's Bordeaux-heavy wine cellar.Before all that: the saga of getting the real and replica Claret Jugs through airport security and onto the flight home — including an awkward moment in line next to runner-up Cameron Young.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro & Ryan Fox's dad, All Blacks legend Grant Fox2:39 Has life changed since becoming Champion Golfer of the Year?3:39 New Zealand's 4th major champion & ending a 63-year Claret Jug drought4:29 The Claret Jug's wild flight home9:19 Echoes of Hideki Matsuyama's Masters travels10:19 Friday's grind just to make the cut12:12 Saturday's record-tying 6213:14 The bunker shot and putt that closed out the 6218:29 The 13th hole driver gamble and riding the wave of momentum23:24 The approach at 16 and feeling the crowd's energy29:03 Composure and nerves on the 18th green32:45 The backstory on Ryan's putter34:42 No snakes in New Zealand???35:57 The 2014 Muriwai Open and New Zealand's links golf38:00 The 2021 Muriwai win with Steve Williams caddying39:48 Touring New Zealand's booming golf course scene42:50 Could the PGA Tour — or a Presidents Cup — come to New Zealand?46:25 Wine talk: Bordeaux, Hawke's Bay, and the Claret Jug48:23 Sign-off

Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in yesterday's World Cup final and all the credit needs to go to Spain, who dominated this tournament giving up just one goal total. Should other teams take the next 4 years studying Spain's defense? :30- Mariners Morning After We thought this team was down and out until the 7th inning on Saturday and they certainly battled on Sunday as well, coming away with a 6-3 win over the Giants and a series win. :45- Just like we all predicted, Ryan Fox held up the Claret Jug after an incredible final hole to win the Open Championship.

Weary from a sleepless night of celebrations, golfer Ryan Fox is still coming to grips with his Open Championship victory. Fox has joined Michael Campbell, Sir Bob Charles, and Dame Lydia Ko in winning a golf major, holding his nerve to win The Open at Royal Birkdale and pocketing $5.5 million. He has returned to his Florida base, having hauled both the Claret Jug and a replica across the Atlantic as carry-on luggage. Fox told Mike Hosking his life is going to change pretty significantly over the next few months, and he probably doesn't yet comprehend all the things that will come with being a major champion. He says it'll probably be a bit daunting, as he'll be facing a lot more scrutiny on the course than he's been able to get away with in the last few years.

The group discuss Birkdale one last time and how the drastic golf course changes presented a championship test at The Open, based on comments made by players throughout the week. And, there is also one more chat about Bryson DeChambeau, who made headlines throughout with his behaviour.

This is a Proper Victory Monday episode following Ryan Fox's first major championship win! Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube on Sunday afternoon to recap a whirlwind of a final round at Royal Birkdale. Of course, they begin with the 2026 Champion Golfer of the Year, Ryan Fox, who birdied the 18th hole to win in regulation and avoid a playoff with Cameron Young. Kevin Van Valkenburg stops by from the Open Media Center to share some notes from his afternoon following the final group, setting the scene for one of the best major finishes in recent memory. Brendan spent his time on the course with local hero Tommy Fleetwood and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, latter of whom found himself in a rules situation with the same walking official as Bryson's group on Friday. Brendan was front-and-center for one of the great TIO debates of our time and provides a bevy of information as to what was happening in the moment. He then gets Andy going on his thoughts on Royal Birkdale and the course's recent renovations that prepared it for this Open Championship before Andy continues on with some critiques of NBC's coverage throughout the weekend. There are plenty Storylines Nobody's Talking About to wrap the week, covering all-important Wikipedia Top Tens, Rory's work as a lead negotiator, and what was going down on Twitter during the Sunday broadcast. PJ gets tapped to share his thoughts on a runner-up finish for Cameron Young, whose score of -9 looked like it may hold up for the last 2.5 hours of the tournament.

Welcome back to the Sorry to Interrupt podcast! Tom and Sean are back for a Sunday afternoon edition of the pod as they react to Ryan Fox chasing down the lead and winning this year's Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. The guys break down his great weekend including his sensational performance on the back 9 on Sunday and discuss how his victory will stack amongst previous Open winners. Next, they work the leaderboard and offer thoughts on Cam Young's great showing, Scottie's putter once again falling short as well as other notable performances from the weekend. Lastly, they give their thoughts on Bryson DeChambeau's wild weekend and put a bow on this year's Majors season. Everyone enjoy the pod!
We look back on a dramatic finish at Royal Birkdale, where Ryan Fox closed with a strong Sunday round and won on the 72nd hole. We say he stayed composed under pressure, kept executing shots, and handled some very unlucky breaks on the closing holes without letting them affect him.We also discuss how the course played over the week. We say it was firm, dry and much harder in the afternoon, while the morning wave had the best scoring conditions. We note that the changes to the course produced strong championship golf, with several holes forcing players to choose different clubs and strategies.We reflect on the other main contenders, especially Sam Burns, Tommy Fleetwood and Scottie Scheffler. We say Burns started well but made a series of errors that took him out of the lead, Fleetwood had a very strong week but faded late, and Scheffler struck the ball well but lost many strokes on the greens.A large part of the discussion focuses on the Bryson DeChambeau ruling and the difference between that incident and Scottie Scheffler's ruling on 17. We say the rules were applied in different ways, that the evidence and intent were debated, and that the decisions raised questions about consistency and about how golf polices itself.We finish with the wider context of Fox's win, including his New Zealand sporting background, the significance of the result for New Zealand golf, and a few lighter notes on the week's other winners and losers, including the event's attendance, the amateur performances, and the people behind the tournament setup.

Andy returned to join Brendan! for this beefy recap of moving day at Royal Birkdale. The two went LIVE on YouTube right after play ended to discuss the fallout from Bryson's two-stroke penalty, Rory McIlroy's response, and the actual golf tournament that's unfolding. Andy gives his take on the Bryson situation and the two-time major champion's impressive Saturday round that still has him in contention for his first Claret Jug. Rory McIlroy, pending insanity, is not in contention to win, but did offer some pointed thoughts about the penalty and the penalized player in his post-round press conference. Kevin Van Valkenburg stops in to share more thoughts from the ground, including some comments from other players about the penalty and how it was handled by the R&A. Brendan spent the day following the tournament's leader, Sam Burns, who looks to move past the heartbreak of Oakmont, Augusta, and Shinnecock and secure his first major on Sunday afternoon. Andy and Brendan play a lengthy game of Contender or Pretender, highlighting a strong top of the leaderboard after big Saturday rounds from Si Woo Kim and Ludvig Åberg. PJ is called to the carpet to explain Cameron Young's failure to launch despite his place in the penultimate group on Saturday and provides some context for Kevin Kisner's mid-day tweet-spree. To close things out, Brendan once again quizzes Andy on some of the insane official slogans of the Open Championship, found in various places around the golf course this week. We will return on Sunday evening with a comprehensive recap of the 2026 Open Championship and continued coverage of Bryson DeChambeau's latest exploits!

Despite two record-tying rounds of 62 on Friday at Royal Birkdale, Bryson DeChambeau remains the lead story yet again. Brendan, Kevin Van Valkenburg, and Joseph LaMagna went LIVE on YouTube to recap the second round of the 2026 Open Championship, only to have a two-shot penalty assessed to DeChambeau, then in second place, derail the entire show. The three reacted in real-time to the theatrics playing out on the fifth hole, where DeChambeau re-enacted his movements from earlier in the day in front of rules officials from the R&A. Kevin went to go scout out the scene on the ground, leaving Joseph and Brendan to make sense of what was unfolding. The two-shot penalty moved DeChambeau from solo second, just one shot back of Lucas Herbert, down to a tie for fifth alongside Sam Burns and Si Woo Kim. Joseph, Brendan, and PJ do highlight standout the two 62s from Burns and Herbert, as well as the continued strong play of Cameron Young and Ryan Gerard, but the majority of this episode is spent on Bryson and the ensuing ruling that could cost him his third major championship. The three mention notable missed cuts before setting the scene for a weekend at Royal Birkdale that is sure to deliver, even more than we originally thought!

Charlie Hulme and Smylie Kaufman break down a wild Friday at The Open Championship, headlined by Bryson DeChambeau's two-shot penalty for improving his lie in the fescue on the par-4 5th. Smylie was on-site chasing the story in real time — he walks through racing out to the hole, tracking down the actual divot, and simulating Bryson's swing to assess whether the penalty was warranted. The ruling drops Bryson to T5 at 5 under, three back of the lead heading into the weekend.Plus: two Royal Birkdale course records as Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns both card 62s, the tied-lowest round in major championship history; a bigger-picture debate on whether rules enforcement is consistent across the PGA Tour, USGA, and R&A (with the Wyndham Clark, Joaquin Niemann, Jon Rahm, and Sam Burns/Oakmont cases all on the table); real questions about whether Bryson tees it up Saturday; a driver-strategy breakdown comparing Tommy Fleetwood and Jon Rahm's approaches on the 10th hole; and score predictions for the cut line and the weekend leader.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters1:25 Bryson DeChambeau's penalty controversy breaks2:18 Smylie's on-the-ground chase to the 5th hole5:22 Breaking down Bryson's backswing and the fescue lie8:43 Bryson's agent statement and the intent question10:03 Big picture: is rules enforcement consistent across tours?13:37 Would Bryson withdraw from The Open?17:00 Debate: is the two-shot penalty too harsh?22:46 Friday's other big stories: course records & leaderboard23:55 Driver strategy: Tommy Fleetwood vs. Jon Rahm on 1028:45 Cut line prediction, Ryan Gerard shoutout & weekend outlook#brysondechambeau #theopen #smylieshow #golf

Fresh off a full day at Royal Birkdale, Brendan joined Andy as they went LIVE on YouTube to recap Thursday of the 2026 Open Championship! The two discussed the biggest storylines of the day, leading off with the return of the Content King, Bryson DeChambeau. Bryson fired a 67 and is in position to make the cut at a major for the first time this year. Despite declining to talk to the media, an interview with the Open's digital team became the main story of the afternoon after Bryson took subtle aim at Nick Faldo's comments from earlier in the week. Andy and Brendan also discuss a strong start from Scottie Scheffler, a possible return to form for Cameron Young, and a "vintage mid-2010s round" from Rory McIlroy. "Storylines Nobody's Talking About" makes a Thursday return, highlighting some struggles from Champions Tour legends and a potential World Cup-induced hangover for the Englishmen in the field. We will be back again tomorrow afternoon as play concludes to set up the final major championship weekend of 2026! Mercedes-Benz is proud to be an Official Patron of The Open Championship.

Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube for this final major preview episode of 2026! Brendan is in high spirits after traveling across the pond to find a baked-out Royal Birkdale that he describes as "fiery, firm, and brown." The two get going on the course setup and the choices that players must make on a variety of holes throughout the round. This is a new-look Royal Birkdale following an extensive renovation ahead of this year's Open Championship, and reviews seem to be mixed on whether the course is better than it once was. Scottie Scheffler made some pointed comments about the course during his pre-tournament press conference, leading to a discussion about whether this venue is truly "forged by nature." Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor This Week highlights the two best players in the world, two hometown heroes looking for their first major, and a LIV defector who can lock up PGA Tour status for next year with a good showing. With a relatively wide-open field, it felt like a good time to re-rank the top five players in pro golf heading into the week, as well. Kevin Van Valkenburg joins in the fun to discuss Tuesday's press conferences getting deeply existential and shares some scuttlebutt from the grounds. To put a bow on this preview, Andy, Brendan, KVV, and PJ make their picks to win the Claret Jug and choose sides in a much-anticipated installment of Games Within a Game.
