Episode 105: Open Championship Preview

Author: Break 80 Podcast July 17, 2024 Duration: 1:23:14
Open Championship week is here and as the players get ready to tackle Royal Troon and fans get their coffee setup ready for early morning golf, the Break80 Podcast is here for it with a preview for the upcoming Open Championship. Tim starts off the pod by telling a Bryson DeChambeau story he heard while at the John Deere Classic a few weeks ago and what it was like down in the Quad Cities for this years event. We talk big shot Bob McIntyre and the crazy break he got with a sprinkler in the fescue on way to winning his home open, the Scottish Open last week. We have a few other thoughts on the Scottish Open and how it relates to Royal Troon this week. Will one of the favorites win this week or will someone come out of nowhere to win the Open Championship? Is the Postage Stamp at Royal Troon the greatest par 3 in golf? We will talk Scottish weather and some picks and darkhorse candidates to play well this week at the Open Championship. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple & Spotify for weekly golf content.

The Break80 Podcast is a weekly conversation with Stouds, Mike, and Tim, three friends who find as much to talk about in the game's margins as in its major championships. This isn't just a recap of tour scores; it's a deep dive into the personal stories, the memorable rounds, and the local characters that give golf its texture. You'll hear their own experiences on the course, the good shots and the bad breaks, all framed by a genuine curiosity about what makes the sport compelling. The show actively seeks out the people and places that don't always make the headlines but are essential to the game's heart. It's built on the idea that the pursuit of that magic number-breaking 80-is a universal struggle, a mix of technical challenge and personal narrative. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in the grill room after a round, where the discussion ranges from equipment quirks to course design, always with a focus on the camaraderie that keeps players coming back. The Break80 crew operates with the understanding that the difference between a 79 and an 80 is everything, a philosophy that colors every story they uncover and every topic they share with their listeners.
