Summary

The planet has a new number one golfer. Jon Rahm has become the 3rd youngest player and 2nd Spaniard ever to reach no. 1 in the world. We dive into his historic victory at the Memorial and ruminate on how long he can keep the title (2:40). Ryan Palmer finished solo 2nd to earn a spot into the U.S. Open at Winged foot. He’ll be making his first appearance at the USGA’s premier event since 2017 (21:10). Matthew Fitzpatrick earned round of the day honors with a stellar 68 on Sunday at a blistery Muirfield Village. What big things can we expect moving forward from the young Englishman (24:43)? Warning to all Tony Finau lovers, this podcast contains lamenting about his abysmal weekend performance. Is he deserving of the title “Utah Rickie” (28:49)? After the break we dive into obligatory Tiger Woods takes, when can we expect to see the Big Cat next (37:15)? We’re wrapping with an early confidence check into next week’s 3M Open. Who are we feeling good about for Minneapolis (51:50)? ————————— 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
