No Laying Up recap of Day 1 play at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon. Dan Brown (-6) is your solo leader through 18 holes at Royal Troon, followed by Shane Lowry (-5) and Justin Thomas (-3). We talked through the day that was for Shane, JT, Scottie, and Spieth and not for Ludvig, Rory, Tiger, and Tommy. TC attempts to apologize for Tommy Lad before we bring KVV in from the bullpen to talk Bryson. We close out the show with a couple of segments, discuss viewing options, and more. Presented by High Noon.

Can we now officially label Rory as just another guy?
Cryson is who we thought he was.
JOE DEAN AND DAN BROWN 🏴🏴🏴
Is Randy’s mic on? Feel free to jump in at anytime.
Go Tincaps!
Can I just say…. I'm four hours away from here. There's no chance it's cold out…. hottest its been all year 😂
I literally had to turn off at the use of the word 'conditis'. F*ck. Right. Off.
Soly had the Peacock up…..He said VPN season to watch because he couldn't take the add load of the cock…..lol
boy no one tears up a room like kvv…
Tiger used a Taylormade Ardmore 3 back in 2018. So he has used a mallet before. In fact he used it for his high finishes both at the Open and PGA Championship that year.
Rory sucks I’ll never understand why people are such sycophants for him. That’s specifically calling out the nlu guys
What does Shane Lowry have to do to get some respect on this pod? Ffs he's a major winner and you gloss over him anytime he does anything of note.
Go Tincaps!
It’s so early. I would say anyone under +4 is in it. Anyone can shoot a 78 on this course with a few bad breaks
Tommy, Speith, Rory all choke artists
Rank your NLU cast top to bottom
D, like, J, like, Pie, like, reporting, like, the, like, golf, like, in, like, his, like, own, like, indomitable, like, way….like <sigh>
Remember that Rory was shocked and surprised by the wind at the masters this year
Go Tincaps!
shoutout to my fuckin guy DJ with the Fort Wayne Tincaps hat. repping my local ballpark, just there last night. go PotHeads
Love DJ’s Pit Spitters lid. Up the Cherries.
Soly's "Surprise wind direction" debuff is classic
These guys use “biblical” a lot to describe conditions. I’m not familiar with this being used in that way. Is that common?
Didn’t Dan Brown also write Da Vinci Code?
Can’t forget. Rose and Lowry
TC gonna hide rest of the week!!!!
I dont like looking at it as morning-evening waves. Way to simplistic.
Groups 1-10 (+2.92 score to par avg)
Groups 11-20 (+3.50 score to par avg)
Groups 21-30 (+4.55 score to par avg)
Groups 31-40 (+4.07 score to par avg)
Groups 41-52 (+2.67 score to par avg)
–
Groups 1-16 (9 rounds sub par, 6 even)
Groups 17-40 (1 round sub par, 4 even)
Groups 41-52 ( 8 rounds sub par, 3 even)
There was a distinct advantage there for 28 groups, and disadvantage for 24 groups…if you really widdle it down, there were 14 groups that got a great rnd 1 draw, 10 so-so, and 28 that got torched.
With similar, but worse conditions expected tomorrow, its hard to imagine anyone in groups 18-44 improving their rnd 1 scores. The biggest outliers are Sepp Straka, dean burmester and Corey Connors, who played extemely well in the worst conditions Thursday, and should be in on the best conditions Friday morning.
Poosh would have drilled some birdie putts out there.
Scottie doesn’t know.
I couldn't agree more about the colors of the scorecard. It's driving me nuts!
The Open radio is so sick. Listening from the beach in Spain this week on my honeymoon and getting a huge kick out of the radio broadcast. They are fantastic
I rock with these guys but I don’t get why we give the open championship a pass on the broadcast. You quite literally can’t see most of the shots. They get so lost where the ball actually went.
Telling myself that DJ Pie rocking the TinCaps hat is a hint that strapped is coming to Fort Wayne
DJ rocking a Fort Wayne TinCaps hat????
