In our second episode of “The Loop,” Will Zalatoris’ longtime mentor Scott Fawcett joins us to recap his insane breakthrough victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Fawcett had an eventful Sunday of celebrating on social media, and he came on to clear the air in regards to some of his spicier tweets. We did some celebrating, too, finally cashing in on a Zalatoris ticket after a full year of betting on him and winning nothing. Plus, picks for the BMW Championship, and a “don’t @ me” directed at a colleague’s Twitter thread on LIV and generational wealth.

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.
