The bunkered Golf Podcast

And just like that, The 154th Open is over. New Zealand’s Ryan Fox is the ‘Champion Golfer of the Year’ - and very deservedly so.
 
On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Lewis - fresh from Royal Birkdale - recap all of the action from a memorable Open.
 
Has there been a more popular winner in recent memory than Ryan Fox? Is Cam Young the best active golfer without a major? Why can’t Sam Burns close out 54-hole leads? Did the pressure of being the home favourite affect Tommy Fleetwood?
 
Plus, the guys go deep on Bryson DeChambeau’s rules incident, Rory McIlroy’s response to it, and question whether or not Bob MacIntyre needs to change his ways if he ever wants to make the leap from major contender to major champion.
 
And stick around right until the end of the episode because the guys have an announcement.

Is defending champion Scottie Scheffler really coming in undercooked? Why the hell is Rory McIlroy playing football? Is it Tommy’s time? Will Bryson finally make a major cut this year?
 
Get all this and insight into Royal Birkdale course changes, standout holes, and the R&A’s new ‘Code of Conduct’ policy for spectators.
 
Plus… if “6,000 rounds of golf” is the question, what is the answer?

The best two weeks in golf are here! According to Lewis, at least. Michael’s less convinced… but then again, he’s played Augusta National.
 
Before next week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, we’ve got the Scottish Open at The Renaissance, where an exceptional field will attempt to wrestle the title from Chris Gotterup.
 
But should the event start moving around the country again? Just one of the many questions the guys tackle.
 
Elsewhere, there’s some chat around the most infamous lasagne in golf, Peter Alliss’ jaw-dropping birth, Rory McIlroy’s unexpected movie cameo, and much more besides.

Wyndham Clark is just the latest golfer to suffer at the hands of ungracious spectators. Fortunately, it didn’t stop him from winning the US Open but, without something being done about it, how long until somebody does lose a tournament because of hecklers?
 
Michael and Lewis take a closer look at this problem on the latest episode of The bunkered Podcast.
 
Elsewhere, there’s reaction to news of a delay in the proposed (and much-discussed) golf back rollback, as well as thoughts on Joaquin Niemann making an unwanted bit of major history at the weekend.
 
Plus, Lewis just did something he has never done before.

So it’s official: the PIF of Saudi Arabia will no longer bankroll LIV Golf - but what does that mean for the future of the league? Indeed, does it even have a future, or are we watching it take its final few breaths?
 
Michael and Lewis discuss that, and what the implications might be for LIV’s star players, on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
 
Elsewhere, there’s not one, not two, but THREE rules SNAFUs to discuss, plus a call to action for anybody named Mark.
