In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy is joined by Brian Kirschner torecap Wyndham Clark’s win at the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, noting his well-rounded strokes-gained profile, tournament-leading scrambling, and polarizing public perception tied to past incidents and “modern equipment” discourse, while praising his openness, mental coaching, and new caddie impact. They discuss Shinnecock’s setup versus 2018, including softer conditions, reduced missed-fairway penalty due to patchier rough, USGA risk-avoidance, and concerns about the U.S. Open shifting from a “mental examination” toward a fairer test; they also criticize poor fan behavior and emptier viewing. They run “vic laps and apologies” on betting/process takes (hits on winning score, Keith Mitchell, Tom Kim, Niemann; misses on Reed, Si Woo, Hovland, Adam Scott, Rahm/Bryson, etc.), assess Sam Burns’ near-misses. Andy concludes the show with an abridged Travelers Championship preview of TPC River Highlands emphasizing accuracy and wedge play, expected soft scoring, and key names on the odds board.
