EP10: My Open Qualifying Run + Who Wins at Birkdale
from The Draw Club Podcast · host The Draw Club Podcast
The 154th Open lands at Royal Birkdale and I'm breaking down why the tight start could take the driver out of the big hitters' hands, including what Sir Nick Faldo told me about Rory's practice round. I get into Rory's face-to-path problem after a windy week at the Renaissance, Scottie's missed cut, Bryson's equipment merry-go-round, and why my pick is Fitzy (but my heart says Tommy). Then the personal side: grinding since May, my regional qualifier at Rochester & Cobham, making it to Final Qualifying, and the 61 I shot at Turnberry after two clinics with Faldo. Plus the one thing I'd tell you before you scroll for another swing tip: chase concepts, not feels.
