We have a U.S. Open champion! Bryson DeChambeau overpowered Winged Foot in commanding fashion. The whole First Cut crew is on hand to break it down on today’s episode. Bryson DeChambeau joins elite company as one of a handful of players to win both the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Open. His hard work and unique perspective on the game has 100% been validated with today’s win. Is his unique style sustainable and should he be the favorite to win at Augusta? Matthew Wolff lead entering Sunday, he’ll go home Sunday as a major champion runner-up. At only the young age of 21 it’s entirely possible we’ll see more of Matthew Wolff and his unique swing. With two top-5 major finishes under his belt is he already a major stalwart (20:10)? Louis Oosthuizen, Harris English and Xander Schauffele rounded out the top-5 at Winged Foot. Just how underrated is this trio’s talent (29:10). Will Zalatoris is the guy to watch out for in the future. The current Korn Ferry Tour member finished T6 ahead of plenty of PGA Tour star power. Just how legit is this guy and what are we expecting from him in the future (35:10). After the break we wrap with a peek ahead to the Masters in November, a sentence that’s still utterly bizarre to say (39:55). —————————Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Follow @FirstCutPod on Twitter and InstagramFollow our hosts on Twitter: @KylePorterCBS, @mark_immelman, @RickRunGood, @therealGFDFor more golf coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/golf/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Matthew Wolff could make history with a win on Sunday, what are our expectations for the young phenom (0:30)? Bryson DeChambeau lurks two shots behind the lead, can the mad scientist’s formula lead to U.S. Open success (11:47)? Sadly Mark is not on the podcast to discuss the South African legend Louis Oosthuizen that sits in solo third, does “Shrek” have a shot (14:15)? Can Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama or anyone else sneak up and steal the lead from Matthew Wolff (17:10)? —————————Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Follow @FirstCutPod on Twitter and InstagramFollow our hosts on Twitter: @KylePorterCBS, @mark_immelman, @RickRunGood, @therealGFDFor more golf coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/golf/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Round 1 is in the books at the U.S. Open, we’re chatting about all the headlines from Thursday. The legendary “man-sized” Winged Foot played a little easier today than it has historically.

Tiger Woods carded a rollercoaster 73 today, can Big Cat make the cut (12:35)? Jordan Spieth, where to begin. Have we lost all hope for the 3-time major champion (16:45)? Phil Mickelson couldn’t find a fairway to save his life today. Should that William Hill bettor be sweating his $45k to win $3 million bet (22:30)? We wrap by looking ahead to Friday and the weekend, who do we like and who are we staying away from as conditions get tough at Winged Foot (30:30). —————————Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Follow @FirstCutPod on Twitter and InstagramFollow our hosts on Twitter: @KylePorterCBS, @mark_immelman, @RickRunGood, @therealGFDFor more golf coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/golf/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
