Summary

We conclude our "Full Swing" recap series with Rory McIlroy at St. Andrews and Episode 8 of the Netflix show. Shane and Golf.com's Claire Rogers talk about the incredible history that comes with winning at the Old Course and just how short the window is for someone like Rory to actually get it done. They discuss the awkward Cam Smith interview after he took home the Claret Jug that included a LIV question he dodged before eventually joining the renegade tour. They then discuss the incredible win in Atlanta for Rory and the most famous line in the entire series, a shot at Phil Mickelson by Mr. McIlroy.

After segments that include Shane and Claire's favorite episode of the series, they welcome the executive producer of "Full Swing," Chad Mumm, to discuss what it was like putting all this together, how crazy it was that this show landed on the wildest year in golf history and which episode is his favorite.

All "Full Swing Tonight" episodes will also be on YouTube, so make sure to check the Skratch page to get enhanced recaps of each episode with video elements, highlights from the year, and many more.

A big thanks to Joel Dahmen and Chad Mumm for joining during all the recaps and a special shoutout to the entire Skratch team for helping out with making all this just that much better.

0:10.3	Hey, hey, welcome to get a grip. It is full swing tonight with get a grip in Scratch and we've made it.
0:15.3	Claire Rogers, we made it. Episode eight, everything is led to this. That's the title of the episode.
0:21.7	That's the hours we've spent, not just our team, but the great crew at Scratch that's helped put
0:26.1	this together on the video side. And we got, I would say, the most popular golfer in the world.
0:32.4	And throughout the episode in Rory McLeary, this was the Rory episode. And I felt like it was
0:36.8	a perfect way to wrap up a fun, a fun experience with Netflix. Yeah, I loved it. I loved how he kind of
0:44.4	I mean, of course he did because it's Rory, but leaned into the importance of the history of the
0:48.2	game, which, you know, we'd been following these players and the live this and that. And this just
0:52.7	kind of was a palette cleanser in the sense of this game is bigger than us. There's so much that
0:58.1	has happened to this point. And Rory really did a great job with not only recognizing that, but then
1:02.5	he did, you know, going to a junior clinic and trying to how he's trying to kind of make sure he
1:06.6	passes the baton on. And he said, you know, if I leave this game in a better spot than I found it,

1:21.5	And I knew it was going to be an emotional one because I knew we were going to go through the
1:25.6	ups and downs of St Andrews in the old course. We were talking a bit about Rory. And they talked
1:30.5	about this early in the episode. By the way, started in Jupiter. Of course, we did in jupelife
1:34.6	in Florida, the capital of golf. I think that's not all the way from Pioneers North Carolina. But,
1:40.0	you know, we were talking about Rory. And they went through the arc of Rory's early parts of his
1:44.2	career and how he's a kid on these, you know, TV shows much like Tiger Woods. There was a tiger
