Summary

Andy and Brendan! return to the Ecco House after a Sunday at rainy Oakmont Country Club. The two recap J.J. Spaun's win at the 125th U.S. Open, his first major championship victory. They recount a chaotic Sunday with nearly a dozen players in true contention throughout the afternoon and provide final takeaways from the week at Oakmont. Deputy Sam Burns gets put under the microscope after fading from the lead, Cameron Young got PJ's hopes up yet again, and even Sheriff Scottie Scheffler was somewhat involved in this final round. Andy and Brendan also commend Adam Scott for his efforts despite losing what may be his final chance at a second major. Tune in to "Eye on Golf with The Shotgun Start" on CBS Sports Network on Wednesday at Noon ET for more U.S. Open cleanup!
