Recapping two national opens, the LSU vs UNC regional, and a member-member
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme run through a long list of items worth discussing from the weekend, including Robert MacIntyre's Canadian Open win, Yuka Saso's U.S. Open win, and a Smylie Show College World Series grudge match pitting Smylie's LSU Tigers against Charlie's UNC Tar Heels. After matching 64s in a Sunday pairing featuring Rory McIlroy and Tom Kim, Smylie and Charlie discuss both star players and whether their game is trending at the right time.
