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

Oakmont returns for the 125th U.S. Open—and it’s more brutal than ever.

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.

Description:
This week on The Drop, we break down everything you need to know about The Memorial Tournament — from Jack Nicklaus’s Augusta-inspired design to the infamous “Gauntlet” stretch and why firm, fast greens at Muirfield separate contenders from pretenders.

Then we dive deep into the evolution of the modern putter. Blades vs mallets is old news — what’s the deal with zero torque technology? We explore the brands, the science, and whether it’s a game-changer or just a premium placebo.

Plus: this week’s Caffeine Corner gets personal — are you team Starbucks or Dunkin?
