Summary
Andy and Brendan close out the week at LACC with this review of the U.S. Open finale. They discuss the anger and furor over the width of the 18th fairway not punishing Wyndham Clark’s heave up the last. They get in to Clark’s victory, praising his strengths over four days while also being incredulous that this is someone who played an opposite field event just several weeks ago. They discuss the “deflation” factor of a Sunday with some of the crowd issues, the course hollering, and Rory McIlroy disappointment. There’s significant time spent on Rory, and whether this is worse or harder to take than the Old Course, where and how he made his mistakes, and how severe a critique should be levied for this runner-up. Scottie, Cam, Tommy, and a few others are also reviewed. LACC as a host is given one final discussion, from the awful ticket issues that continued to bubble up as a story on Sunday, to the setup and conditioning. They close with a few amusements from the broadcast and look ahead to the … Travelers? Thanks to B.Draddy (use promo code SGS30 for 30 percent off) for supporting us this week in LA.

| 1:08.0 | You did not... |
| 1:09.0 | I thought it's the vicious attacks about someone being able to kind of just have their hands be electrocuted and hit a panic 50 yard slice on 18 and not have to actually execute the golf shots because of this width, this generous, generous width of the fairway. |
| 1:25.0 | You're being attacked, the reputation of the Friday at large is being, you know, maligned because of this 18th fairway ball. |
| 1:34.0 | We're going to get to this in a minute. |
| 1:36.0 | This is why we can't have nice things in society. |
| 1:40.0 | I will say, if you wanted to play one person for what happened today or play one thing, maybe it's LACC for not having any fans on site and not inducing a Wyndham Clark, you know, he was going... |
