Olympics golf arrives, Scottie gets gold, and a Xander-Rory tiff

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

An incredible Sunday at the Olympics prompts this early recording from Andy and Brendan, as they react to Scottie Scheffler getting the gold, Jon Rahm collapsing on the back nine, Rory making a run before splashing late, Xander bowing out, and Tommy Fleetwood upholding the legacy of the Silver Slovak. They discuss if Olympics golf has an official moment that will elevate its place in the sport overall, even asking some hypotheticals about whether this means more than a major. They relay the players’ commentary supporting some of the weight, and importance of the day, including that of Rory McIlroy, which led to a minor rebuke and shot from Xander Schauffele. They also discuss the NBC coverage throughout the weekend, Le Golf National, and the future of Olympics golf with LA up next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
