US Open 2026 Preview: Who Will Experience Major Glory At Shinnecock Hills?

Did Spectators Cross The Line At Shinnecock Hills During Wyndham Clark's US Open Win?

Thank you to this week's sponsor, Fujikura. All 4 men’s Majors in 2025 and the first men’s major of 2026 were won with a Fujikura VENTUS shaft in their driver - which is the first time ANY company has done this. The new TR Red, Black & Blue shafts are now fully launched on tour to complete the VENTUS TR Collection.  The three shafts have different profiles to suit your needs. Red offers mid to high launch & mid to low spin, Blue offers mid launch & low spin and Black offers low spin & low launch. The VENTUS TR collection has been upgraded with VeloCore+ technology for increased control of the club through your swing and reorientation of spread tow material in the mid-handle section which allows the shaft to keep up with golfers that have a more aggressive swing transition. Now, there are even more options to get the perfect fit with the tour-trusted VENTUS shafts.

In this week's episode, Baz is joined by Matt and Elliott to discuss Wyndham Clark's gutsy wire-to-wire win at the US Open, the questionable behaviour of certain fans at Shinnecock Hills, our thoughts on conduct rules being enforced and whether bunkers should be playable or perfect!
