US Open Fireworks and Coach Rusty

It was a US Open to remember, and hosts Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell break down the historic Matthew Fitzpatrick win at The Country Club. Plus a look at the other super-powered firepower on display in Brookline, and Michael's missed opportunity at winning twice in a row (1:45).

The LIV defectors, meanwhile, embarrassed themselves with a horrendous showing at the USGA's major championship (7:53).

The LPGA, not to be outdone, put up a star-studded leaderboard at the Meijer LPGA Classic and a two hole playoff with some of the game's absolute best (9:47).

The PGA Tour stays in New England for The Travelers Championship, where last year we got an epic 8-hole playoff (11:05).

As we all continue reading Alan Shipnuck's "Phil: The Rip Roading (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf's Most Colorful Superstar," Alex and Michael share their thoughts on Phil's major championship breakthrough, betting problems, and image control overload (12:49).

In Tuned In, Michael is sharing his amazing kayaking trip in the swamps of Savannah, while Alex is enjoying the newest Austin music venue (20:53).
