An Epic 2024 U.S. Open Recap from the Ecco House | The Shotgun Start

An all-time U.S. Open finish, one where Andy and Brendan spent the whole afternoon chasing the final two groups, demanded the beefiest of episodes. The two jump right into it, going in-depth on watching Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, and all that Pinehurst provided both as a course and venue for this epic championship. They discuss Bryson’s incredible day, his crazy finish, his amusing quotes about trophy-sharing and chocolate milk, and his future majors ceiling. They discuss Rory’s rough finish, whether or not he choked, how he comes back from it if he even does, and if his exit could be excused. Then they empty out the rest of their notes on Pinehurst maybe affirming its status as an “anchor” site, Pat Cantlay’s actual close call, the NBC broadcast, and more. Thanks to all for your continued support of this podcast that allows us to get out on the road during these major weeks. Apologies for the technical difficulties on the video for the last segment!

Oakmont is ALSO an anchor site, boys. Not just Pine + Pebble

There was talk at one time about Shinnecock and Oakland Hills as well. Not sure where that discussion went.

What is going on here!? You film these!? 😂😂🎉

The fall started with the brain fart of taking 7-iron instead of 8 and air mailing the green on 15. Where was Harry Diamond on that decision? A top-end caddie would have thrown himself on the ball to keep McIlroy from hitting 7-iron there.
And FWIW, DeChambeau was hitting a 9-iron on 15. HIs wood lofts are really strong, but I think his short iron lofts are pretty standard. So, DeChambeau would have had more spin on his shot.
