On this week’s episode of the Quiet Please Golf Podcast, the panel kicks things off with a deep dive into Aldrich Potgieter’s impressive win at the Detroit Golf Club, where the 20-year-old South African showcased poise and precision well beyond his years to claim his maiden PGA Tour victory. We then shift focus to the Detroit Golf Club’s ambitious $16 million renovation plan, exploring what’s in store for the historic venue and how it may reshape future tournaments there. From course changes to mental games, Rory McIlroy’s recent struggles raise questions about his headspace—has the pressure gotten to him, or is this just a blip? The crew also weighs in on Paul Azinger’s spicy take that golf instruction has gotten “out of control”—is he onto something, or just yelling at clouds? Finally, we take a look ahead to the Open Championship, highlight a few dark horse picks, and ask the important question: who doesn’t want to root for Captain America himself, Patrick Reed? (Okay, okay—don’t all answer at once…)
On this week’s episode of the Quiet Please Golf Podcast, we dive into Keegan Bradley’s emotional comeback win in Connecticut — but was it really a comeback, or did Tommy Fleetwood hand it to him with a Sunday stumble? We discuss. Plus, the Ryder Cup chatter is heating up: Should Keegan be a playing captain? Andy Hydorn weighs in, while Allen ruffles feathers with his spicy take on the finishing holes at TPC River Highlands. Over on the LPGA Tour, Minjee Lee notched her third major at the KPMG Women’s PGA — a dominant performance, but Boston Bob has an interesting take on this one. And of course, no week is complete without the LIV Report — we break down who cashed in, who’s coasting, and what it all means. Tune in, tee up, and enjoy the conversation.
Oakmont was every bit the punishing test we expected, and this year’s U.S. Open lived up to its brutal reputation. Fast greens, deep rough, steady rain, and those infamous church pew bunkers made survival the name of the game. In the end, it was JJ Spaun who rose above the chaos, capturing the title with the only score under par for the week and a short game that held firm under immense pressure. His clutch tee shot on 17 will be remembered—but the 62-foot bomb he dropped on 18 was pure electricity. We break down the big names that faltered throughout the week, reminding us once again that Oakmont doesn’t play favorites. It was a classic U.S. Open: unforgiving, dramatic, and a true test of championship golf. Oakmont never disappoints.
