Rory McIlroy had St. Andrews buzzing last week, so what was it like to be there? Our John Huggan joins ‘Be Right’ to recap an amazing week—plus, yes, whether or not the press center was filled with groans when Rory kept missing putts. Huggan—who has studied the Old Course as closely as anyone else in golf—gives his thoughts on what can be done to protect the character of golf’s most treasured links.
What a week in St. Andrews: From Tiger giving an Old Course goodbye, to boos for Ian Poulter and an awkward Phil exit, there is so much to talk about as it relates to the 150th Open Championship. There are few people better to recap an Open than our John Huggan, a longtime editor who is now our European correspondent and an expert on the Old Course. We get Huggan’s thoughts on Rory’s missed opportunity, Cameron Smith making history and whether the Old Course has been reduced to a pitch and putt … or a hybrid-and-putt.
The ‘Be Right’ boys are buzzing, too, after cashing some Cameron Smith tickets (as we hope you did, too, as Stephen Hennessey made him one of his picks on last week’s episode). Listen on for their early leans for the 3M Open.
