Saturday at the Open Championship: Scottie Scheffler moves closer to fourth major championship

In what may come as a surprise to no one, Scottie Scheffler's bogey-free 67 has him four clear of the field heading into Sunday at Royal Portrush. Andy and Brendan recap more excellence from the No. 1 player in the world and set the scene for what could be his fourth major win on Sunday. They play a quick game of Contender/Pretender with Haotong Li and Matt Fitzpatrick before Brendan unpacks a day walking with Rory McIlroy in Northern Ireland. The two attempt to contextualize what Rory means to the fans at Royal Portrush and what playing this event in his home country may mean to him coming off the career slam. They wonder if Rory has a chance of chasing down the Sheriff tomorrow, but are unsure if anyone can even reach Scottie's current mark of -14. In "Storylines Nobody's Talking About," Andy highlights Matt Jordan's everlasting battle against par, Georgia Bulldogs feeling right at home, and a new musical heading to Broadway in September. Brendan wraps this show up with tales from the pub with Dick Teder and an update on Joseph LaMagna's TikTok stardom.
