Oakmont delivered exactly what we expected—chaos, carnage, and a champion who truly survived Oakmont Country Club.

This week on The Drop, Harrison and Zach break down one of the wildest U.S. Opens in recent memory. J.J. Spaun’s comeback from a front-nine 40 to drain a 64-foot birdie on 18 and win his first major. We’re covering every twist, collapse, and club slam from golf’s most punishing test.

In this episode:

• How Oakmont chewed up and spit out the field (74.63 scoring average)
• The three-putt epidemic and controversial course setup
• Emotional meltdowns from Rory, Shane Lowry, and Wyndham Clark
• Spaun’s mixed gear setup - and why brand-free bags are the new wave
• Notable missed cuts: Bryson, Phil, JT, Åberg, DJ, and more

Zach and Harrison are back with another Major Championship episode!

Oakmont returns for the 125th U.S. Open—and it’s more brutal than ever. In Episode 7 of The Drop, we break down everything you need to know heading into golf’s toughest test: lightning-fast greens, five-inch rough, and the infamous Church Pew bunkers. We cover the biggest storylines (Scheffler’s Slam Watch, Rory’s revenge, Bryson’s title defense), reveal our bold picks to win, and relive legendary U.S. Open moments. Plus, a caffeine-fueled debate: are long or short par 3s better?

Survive Oakmont with us—one cup and one swing at a time.
