Author: Break 80 Podcast July 19, 2022 Duration: 1:43:00
With the world watching the 150th Open Championship and basically the entire crowd at the Old Course rooting for Rory, Cam Smith rides excellent ball striking, a hot blade and balls of steel to fire a back-nine thirty en route to a final round 64 to steel the Open Championship from the grasp of Rory McIlroy, who eventually came in third after Cameron Young's epic eagle on 18. LIV is in the golf news again this week with rumors of Cam Smith, Hideki Matsuyama, Henrik Stenson and other defecting away from the PGA & DP World. Tours to sign lucrative contracts with LIV Golf. It is 3M Open week here in Minnesota!  The podcast will be on site throughout the week doing an episode Wednesday, social media content and talking PGA Tour and TPC Twin Cities.  This episode on the podcast we interview the Tournament Director Mike Welch who gives us all kinds of insight into what it takes to pull of a PGA Tour event.

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.
