Summary
Andrew, Eddie and Iain have dried off to review the 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool and a stunning win for Brian Harman. They discuss the lack of love for the American as he made his way round Hoylake despite mastering the course and the conditions over the weekend, why didn't the crowd take to the 36-year old? Andrew has his say on the behaviour of a number of spectators at the course and how the incessant shouting at the tee box has impacted commentary teams - talking of, Eddie goes on a rant about the TV coverage too. Amongst all of this Iain reveals why Jon Rahm was frustrated with the amount of people hanging around the greens and tells of a trip to the Lake District involving, rabbits, ferrets and a pair of hawks, one out of shape and the other that suffers from vertigo.
