Safeway Open Round 1 Recap + Brooks Koepka’s U.S. Open Withdraw (9/10)

The First Cut Podcast is back after a long one day off season. We’re chatting about the Safeway Open among other things on today’s episode… It’s a crowded leaderboard in Napa Valley, who has the most staying power among the leaders? Phil Mickelson has somehow put together a round under par. What’s our confidence in him as we start to peak ahead to the U.S. Open. Jordan Spieth… oh Jordan. The first round of his 2021 season has not begun under ideal terms. Kyle Porter laments about the situation. Akshay Bhatia, Andy Zhang and Sahith Theegala offer some youthful injection into this week’s tournament. We wrap with a little chat about Brooks Koepka’s surprise withdrawal from the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. ————————— Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow @FirstCutPod on Twitter and Instagram Follow our hosts on Twitter: @KylePorterCBS, @mark_immelman, @RickRunGood, @therealGFD For more golf coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/golf/ To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
