Takeaways from the 2023 U.S. Open

About this episode

<p>Garrett launches this U.S. Open recap show by asking Los Angeles resident and ESPN staff writer Paolo Uggetti (<a href="https://twitter.com/PaoloUggetti">@PaoloUggetti</a>) whether L.A. has the worst fans in sports. After settling that issue, Garrett and Paolo review the final day of the 2023 U.S. Open, touching on Wyndham Clark's championship-winning shotmaking, Rory McIlroy's frustrating runner-up finish, and the much-discussed atmosphere on the limited-capacity North Course at L.A. Country Club. For the back half of the episode, Garrett is joined by Joseph LaMagna (<a href="https://twitter.com/JosephLaMagna">@JosephLaMagna</a>), Fried Egg contributor and <a href="https://findingtheedge.substack.com/">Finding the Edge</a> author, to evaluate the USGA's setup of LACC and talk about its architectural strengths and weaknesses (28:38).
