Wyndham Clark won the BMW Championship, but the bigger story may have been the crowd openly rooting against him.Dan and the crew break down why Wyndham has become one of golf’s most polarizing players, whether he is taking over the villain role once held by Bryson DeChambeau, and what Wyndham himself had to say about fans cheering his mistakes.

Scottie Scheffler is back in the winner’s circle, and the gap between him and Rory McIlroy has become almost comical.Dan and the crew break down Scottie’s latest win, Rory’s rough week, and the point gap that led to one of the strangest stats of the season: the average person is closer to Rory than Rory is to Scottie.

The biggest story coming out of The Open was not Ryan Fox lifting the Claret Jug. It was Bryson DeChambeau’s two-stroke penalty, the Rory McIlroy comments that followed, and the bigger question of whether golf’s rules make any sense in moments like this. Dan and the crew dig into the penalty itself, whether Bryson actually improved his lie, why Rory’s reaction added fuel to the fire, and how the whole tournament ended up becoming a Bryson story. They also get into Ryan Fox’s win, Cameron Young’s heartbreak, Kevin Kisner’s broadcast rise, and more.Chapters:0:00 Major season is over1:32 Ryan Fox wins The Open4:18 Why fast golf is so much better15:24 Cameron Young heartbreak at Royal Birkdale18:49 Bryson’s two-stroke penalty takes over the tournament19:27 Did Bryson deserve the penalty?24:07 Did Rory McIlroy help trigger it?30:48 Why golf rules feel completely inconsistent35:59 Kevin Kisner is becoming a fan-favorite broadcaster36:30 Bryson’s response to Nick Faldo42:16 How the whole Open turned into a Bryson story43:21 Ryan Fox’s win gets overshadowed43:25 Code-of-conduct warnings, Jon Rahm, and Bobby Mac
