Summary

Given the turmoil that has dominated men’s professional golf this year, a Rory McIlroy victory in the Open Championship at St. Andrews would have been a storybook ending to the major season. Well, too bad. Cameron Smith, as he reminded us in the process of dismantling the Old Course on Sunday, is really, really good at golf. To break down all of the action as well as the deeper storylines, Garrett Morrison speaks with Jamie Weir (@jamiecweir), golf correspondent for Sky Sports; Joseph LaMagna (@JosephLaMagna), the analytical mind behind the Finding the Edge newsletter; and The Fried Egg’s own Andy Johnson, who was on site all week in St. Andrews.

0:56.0	And right in front of them were Rory McElroy and his smiley Norwegian doppelganger, Victor Hovland.
1:03.0	By the end of the third round, the two pairs were flipped.
1:07.0	McElroy and Hovland at 16 under and the Cameron's four shots back.
1:11.0	The phrase, match play situation may have come up in the bright egg newsletter.
1:15.0	And I may have put it there.
1:17.0	Look, I thought that the odds were that either Rory or Victor would shoot 69 or better on Sunday.

1:31.0	And I definitely did not imagine that they both would.
1:35.0	Cameron Young, who's a 25-year-old PGA tour rookie, deserves more credit for what he did in that fourth round than he'll ever get.
