Rory McIroy Wins Again

from The Section 1904 Podcast Hosted by Darren Smith

Darren and Marty are back and talking about Fernando Tatis’s exhaustion over Eddie Vedder questions and how Luis Campusano has decided to not give a fuck. Padres have won six straight and will try to make it seven on Wednesday night. (For more on the Pivetta injury situation and Padres reported interest Lucas Giolito, check out the latest Friar Territory episode) We also talked to golf reporter and author Alan Shipnuck, whose new book - Rory, The Heartache and Triumph of Golf's Most Human Superstar - is now available wherever you find books these days. Shipnuck talked about his motivation to write a book about Rory and how the Northern Irishman expressed his unwillingness to contribute to the book, including a tense and very public confrontation at the 2025 U.S. Open. We also discussed Rory’s success at Augusta National and how he’s become a very polarizing figure for golf fans during the PGA Tour / LIV Golf war - and what role Rory played in the PGA Tour closing in on victory over LIV. The show ended with a few minutes about the Diana Russini story, her resignation from The Athletic and if we should expect any consequences for Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel. (Spoiler: we don’t) This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit dsmithshow.substack.com
