US Open Preview (RG77)

What this episode covers

This week we skip the headlines and get straight to the good stuff: our 2021 preview of the US Open! This week we see golf’s biggest tournament return to Torrey Pines in beautiful La Jolla, California. Last time the event was hosted at this venue, Tiger woods came out victorious completing his 3rd career grand slam, defeating Rocco Mediate in sudden death holes on a broken leg. Here’s to hoping that something equally as historic will go down this week! In our standard preview format, we open up by talking about the course and some differences we may see from the USGA’s setup vs. the PGA Tour event that takes place here every year. Brent also takes us through some challenging stretches and some ongoing themes and challenges that the course will present all week long. Then we break down some of the field and discuss who we’ll be watching out for this week. John does a deep dive into some key statistics that will lead to success at Torrey and we debate which type of player should come out one top: someone who plays Torrey Pines well, or someone who plays well at the US Open. Finally, we wrap up the episode with some picks for who we think will take home the Championship Trophy and the largest payout of the year.
