U.S. Open 2021 picks plus LIVE reporting from Joel Beall at Torrey Pines

Episode Summary

There are a number of questions to answer this week: Will Torrey Pines play vastly different than it does each year at the Farmers Insurance Open? Is the rough going to give an advantage to bombers like it did at Winged Foot? Is Jon Rahm the guy to beat? To discuss those storylines, we had Golf Digest’s Joel Beall—who’s on-site covering the U.S. Open for us this week at Torrey Pines—on this week’s episode. He helps us answer those items to arrive at our best bets for the week.
