With the 2025 U.S. Open set to begin this week at Oakmont, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss quotes from Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas in preparation for what is arguably the most difficult test in major championship golf. Smylie analyzes the large, fast, and dramatically sloped green complexes at Oakmont, and the role that the poa annua grass on those greens could help determine this week's winner. Smylie and Charlie also go in-depth on biggest names tipped to win at Oakmont, and make their picks for the week.

From Bryson DeChambeau’s precision to John Rahm’s mindset, they analyze top contenders, highlight form players, and even discuss under-the-radar picks. Plus, the crew shares hilarious travel stories, from culturally immersive Airbnbs to Taco Bell pit stops, showcasing the lighter side of major championship weeks.

🏌️‍♂️ Highlights include:
- Smylie’s expert take on Oakmont’s insane course design and difficulty.
- Player strategies to handle those tricky greens and dense roughs.
- Bold picks and predictions for the U.S. Open, including long shots and favorites.
