2025 Open Championship preview: Rory, Scottie, Rahm setting up for good one at Portrush

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

Brendan! made it across the pond (without some luggage) and has taken in two days of practice rounds at Royal Portrush. He joins an injured Andy, who found out that Crocs aren't built for basketball the hard way on his Monday evening walk, to preview the 2025 Open Championship. The two run through all of the major storylines, such as Rory's homecoming to Northern Ireland, Scottie's media comments on "fairness" and Jon Rahm looking like he's back in form. They choose favorite and least favorite tee times, calling out which groups to wake up early for on Thursday and Friday if you're operating from the United States. Joseph LaMagna joins Brendan from the Portrush media center to discuss going viral on Northern Ireland TikTok, as well! Andy shares five under-the-radar storylines for this week, touching on a Holywood native playing at home after a top-five finish last week and the best player in the world without a major returning to major golf. To wrap things up, PJ submits 12 Games Within a Game for the year's final men's major before four Lock-Hammer-Fire picks are made.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
