Garrett brings on Joseph, who is covering this week's U.S. Open on site at Pinehurst No. 2, to discuss Joseph's early impressions of the course, including his sense of its difficulty and firmness level. In the second half of the pod, Garrett and Joseph discuss takeaways from their recent rewatch of the 2014 U.S. Open at No. 2, which Martin Kaymer won in an eight-stroke runaway. They finish up with some thoughts on which players might perform well this week.

0:11.8	I'm about ready to run off the golf course Welcome. Welcome to the Friday Golf Podcast. I'm Garrett Morrison and the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst
0:40.9	Number 2 is starting tomorrow.
0:44.2	So I thought I'd bring on Joseph Lamagna,
