A year after falling a shot short of winning his home open, Robert MacIntyre wins the Scottish Open after a fortuitous break on the sixteenth hole and clutch putting to win by a shot over Adam Scott. We also talk through Ludvig’s week, Rory’s return and everything else from The Renaissance Club.

Then it’s onto our review of the Evian where Ayaka Furue wins while our NLU Young Hitter Lauren Coughlin finished fourth. We also talk Keegan Bradley as the 2025 USA Ryder Cup Captain, LIV’s finish in Spain, Bryson’s war of words with his former coach, some thoughts on Olympic golf and more.

  1. Seriously stop commenting on golf if you dont understand the rules and tne role of the officials. Officials made the call. He won fair and square as per the rules of the game. How much did you all lose on your bets?

  2. Can't believe Bob gets such a good lie from that. Without it he doesn't win. Was hoping either Scotty or Bob would win but after that…

  3. Oh no!!!! “TC” and his dumb arrogant grin is back 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

  4. The official said it was no problem, no broken rule. Golf gods gave him a break of a lifetime to win his country’s open, do we really have to discredit everything people do in this game?

  5. Soly can’t get excited for a fun event because of a gray area in the rules? Boy does he love sucking the joy out of fandom in the name of being a know-it-all

  6. TC is delusional. Everyone on the front page of the leaderboard was under par. Ludwig was 3 over.

  7. My issue with Bob wasn’t the drop, it was the pace of play. It was like watching someone mow their lawn with the occasional golf shot sprinkled in

  8. Is Keegan’s captaincy the
    all-time mea culpa from the PGA ? For the losses, the overlooks, and the tension between? He cares. He has scar tissue. He’s relevant. He’s experienced. He’s a winner.

    He’s exactly what the captain needs to be. They know it. So they spoke first. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  9. Soly owes Bob an apology for his takes here. Borderline slander. Did he even watch the footage?

  10. Not a fan of Bob for obvious aesthetic issues but this is a historically bad take on the drop particularly from Soly. The practice swing revealed the sprinkler head which he subsequently felt under his spikes. The grass he removed was near where his stance was going to be, not where his ball was and therefore didn't improve his lie at all. Perhaps you can argue he was building a stance but that's a massive strech in my opinion. Shame that such bad take clouded the analysis of what was one the shots of the year and a great hometown story.

  11. If he had not discovered the sprinkler head at all there is also the possibility that no way would he have even attempted to play a shot given how bad the lie was . This was evidenced by the amount of grass he too with the practice swings.

  12. TC, what is ur deal with Canadians? I'm not up to speed with the 1250 inside jokes u guys volley around…

  13. Wow! Can you guys chill out? You’d think Bob is an evil, opportunistic scumbag the way you guys talk about him. This means EVERYTHING to him, and tbh it was one of the best tournament finishes I’ve seen all year. The outdated rules of golf punish players far more often than reward them, so let him have his moment. He earned it for 4 straight days

  14. The practice swing he took had no bearing on the stance he had to take to hit the ball. Soly’s argument makes no sense at all. The guy’s buddy Jordan Spieth is a ninja warrior in trying to take advantage of golf’s rules to benefit his position. Hope they are as critical of him next time he’s hitting it on the roof of a stand to get a better drop. Dry your eyes Soly
