    U.S. Open Round 3 Recap 🏆 Could Scottie Scheffler Win The U.S. Open With A Sunday 63???

    Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap moving day at Oakmont, which began in the rain and concluded with Smylie's fellow LSU Tiger, Sam Burns, sleeping on the lead once again at the 2025 U.S. Open. Smylie witnessed Adam Scott's round-of-the-day 67 firsthand on the NBC broadcast, and breaks down what the Australian will need to do Sunday to become the second-oldest U.S. Open winner and add a second major to his trophy case. SK and CH also discuss the days that Viktor Hovland and JJ Spaun had - both near the top of the leaderboard, but a shot further off after bogeying 18 to finish their respective days. We get a special Father's Day cameo from Smylie's dad Jeff - aka the "Squirrel Man" - and an update on the Rain Shorts movement after Charlie's Turnpike Hike in full gear.

    What Makes Scottie Scheffler One of the Best Ever?

    After yet another Scottie Scheffler win against a strong field on a challenging golf course, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme zoom out to examine the formula that makes Scottie great, and whether his best attribute might be something other than his elite ball-striking. SK and CH also discuss some bold comments from Jack Nicklaus, and what his statement means about Scottie's place alongside Jack and Tiger Woods as one of the greatest to ever play golf. Smylie and Charlie also discuss the latest Ryder Cup standings - in particular, one player who is looking like a lock after a season of consistency and durability. Jordan Spieth and Keegan Bradley are also discussed as they continue to build cases for captain's picks, and why they would or wouldn't be selected. Finally, we review big changes to the Tour Championship format, what we expect to see at East Lake in a few months, and whether a more creative solution could have been chosen to conclude the PGA TOUR season.
