Andy and Brendan are soaring into the weekend after watching an awesome day of golf at The Open, where the wind came up again and brutalized some of the best players in the world. They angrily shout down anyone moaning about the draw creating a disparity. Then they get into the conditions that ejected Rory, Bryson, Tiger, and many more. They outline some of the older vets on the board while praising the work of Shane Lowry and especially Justin Rose. Scottie and Rahm are given their flowers, too. There's a brief Tiger chat -- what is he at this point and how should we cover him? A fresh new slate of games within the game are set up for the weekend, bringing the golf's biggest superstar, Marcel Siem, into the fray. They close with a few thoughts on some big name cut missers.
