On today's Part of My Take, we have an awesome, awesome recap of the US Open with Smiley Kaufman

who was there.

He was part of the NBC coverage.

He was 10 feet behind Bryson and Rory as both of those guys came down the stretch for the

US Open, which was incredible.

We're going to talk about everything that came out of that.

We're going to talk about Game 4 that happened on Friday night.

Hank is back.

We're going to talk about Game 4 for the Stanley Cup Final.

We got some great who's back.

We got a Monday reading and an extra bonus.

We have Mike Florio on because we missed talking about football.

It was great to talk some ball with Mike Florio before we go into the Lowell period, the phase

me period, which you'll find out what that is, of teams breaking for minicamp for the

summer.

So, great, great show for you.

17th. And holy shit, boys. That

was one hell of a U.S. Open.

Sunday afternoon, Father's Day,

Bryson DeChambeau wins the U.S.

Open. Rory McIlroy chokes the U.S.

Open. But more than anything, I

love sports. It was great. It

was an iconic back nine. And

then to see how it unfolded with

Rory looking over his shoulder

at Bryson the entire time.

Bryson mugging for the camera.

And also Bryson going back to

when he played injured on

Saturday. He had the hip. He

said he was playing at about 80%

this weekend. But you had like

drone cameras through the

treetops seeing Bryson getting

his leg worked on. It was a very,

very good weekend of golf. It

was like the perfect. Pinehurst

was incredible because it was a

great test. We talked about it

being borderline. There were

moments where it was borderline,

maybe over the line. Guys hitting

shots within like 10 feet of the

hole and then having it roll all

the way back down. But more than

anything, it was just what you

want in a major Sunday. And it

was a guy, Bryson, who going into

Sunday, it was like, he's

definitely gonna win. He's got

three shot lead. No one can

figure out this golf course. And

then you have the flip where

there was that moment where

Bryson went to six under. Rory

went to eight under. You're like

holy shit, this is going to

happen. And then they, they,

they get back together, tied at

six under and going down the

stretch and Rory missing two

putts within five, five feet or

four feet. I think they were.

Yeah. The first one was about

two and a half, I think. Yeah.

Second one was like three and a

half. Listen, I know there was a

lot said about afterwards

because Rory skipped media. He,

uh, here's, here's one, uh,

dramatic reading from a reporter

on site. This is from Steve Reed

AP. He said, Rory McIlroy through

his clubs in the back of a

tournament sponsored Lexus. Oh my

God. Backed out of the parking

lot and spun his tires a little

getting out of the parking lot.

Yeah. He did not talk, spun his

tires a little. Would that not

be how a car goes? That's how a

car moves. Uh, six minutes after

DeChambeau makes winning putt.

Rory spins tires on way out of

town. And if you saw the video,

it was worse than that

description. They also squeaked a

little bit. Oh yeah. And then the

camera, whoever was filming it,

uh, did a nice little touch

because as the car drives away

going probably 10 miles an hour,

the camera guy goes, Whoa, like

he almost got hit by it. Yeah.

And it, it, it was scenes of

Scotty Scheffler before the, uh,

the PGA championship. I thought

that maybe there's some

bystanders that might've been in

trouble there. Yeah. And then we

had people watching Rory and his

progress to his private jet and

then flight tracker systems

tracking Rory's private jet and

seeing that he was in the air, I

believe before Bryson's

acceptance speech. So he was, he

was a poor sport. It was, it was

a poor sport. We also had a, this

is another, um, we had video of

it and Jay Busby said, uh, Rory

McIlroy leaving the clubhouse, he

got into his car and drove off.

Yeah. Well, the tires spun. Yeah.

Usually when you get your car,

you drive off. Uh, yeah. Poor

sport. Uh, if you note the

majority of the poor sport, uh,

claims are coming from the media

itself who Rory didn't talk to.

I propose, so I have no problem

with this. I understand you

wanted, I would like to hear from

him. We will hear from him at

some point. I was thinking about

it, the way Rory lost that

tournament and the pots that he

missed and the 10 years that it's

been since he won a major and

Bryson, who we'll get to having

like an about face where he's the

people's champ out there on the

course, which if you said that

four years ago, you'd be like, no

fucking way. I'd be like, the

people suck. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

The people have been a lead

poison. Yes. Uh, all of that.

And you put it into a bottle and

you say, Rory, we want you to

stick around and drink this

bottle while reporters say what

was going through your head on

18, that is actually worse than

any torture that you could ever

come up with. Like ever. I, so

as much as you want to claim

poor sport, I think that every

athlete should get one a year

where they can just say, I'm,

I'm not doing this. And, and

this, you, you, and if you, if

you don't use it, you lose it.

So you don't get carry over, but

you get one a year where you

can just be like, Nope, no Moss.

I can't do it because I would,

if I were Rory and I had to sit

there and have Bryson come up to

me and be like, that was an

incredible fight. You put up,

you know what? Oh, you played so

great. I wish two of us could

have won this and then go sit

and have some reporter say,

Rory, talk me through what

happened with that putt that you

missed. I'd kill myself. Yeah.

Well, I would, I would, I, you

can't do that. You got to get

in your Lexus, your, your, your,

your tournament sponsored Lexus

and spin those tires and get the

fuck out of Dodge. Can you

imagine if on this show, cause

we are members of the media on

this show, if, if one of us was

like a real, real big winner,

and then we made the person who

was a big loser sit while the

big winner talked about how big

of a winner they were. And we

did that for like 30 minutes and

then asked the loser to give us

comment on that. Right. How

terrible that we would never do

something like that because we

care too much for the people

that we work with. But for some

reason, golf media wants that to

happen and it could never be us.

And, and the loser then just

doesn't show up for the next

show. Yeah, no, that would be

right. We're not going to get

into that territory. Right.

That's not how we operate.

Right. That's not how we operate.

We operate with a little bit

more class. And it's also very

funny that, uh, it goes back to

like the Marshawn Lynch Super

Bowl days or Cam Newton when he

skipped the press conference

afterwards, the media gets so

mad, so mad, and then they have

all their articles about how

this person didn't give them

anything to write about. Right.

And he actually, Rory gave

everybody so much more stuff to

write about. Right. So much more

stuff to talk about by not

answering questions than he did

if he had stuck around and just

given like deadpan answers of

credit to Bryce and he played

really, really well. Of course,

I'm disappointed, very upset

that I missed those putts, you

know. Yeah. One of those things,

golf's a hard game. That's what

Rory would have said. I just did

his press conference right

there. Yeah. Golf is a hard game.

It's tough to get this close.

Credit to Bryce and he played

really, really well. I'm very

happy for him and happy for

golf. That's what he would have

said. Yeah. Okay. That's the

press conference. But the fact

that Rory sped away like Rashid

Rice in the parking lot and

could have murdered people on

his way out, that gives the

reporters way more stuff to talk

about and way more of a

storyline. And more than

anything, it gives them a soap

box and a moral high ground to

be like, you didn't let us do

our job. But you're right. The

story is that Rory, and again,

it's a ridiculous story because

I really do think that there

should just be a, maybe there's

someone has to judge it and, and

you like, it's almost going to

the booth in Toronto or, you

know, the NFL when they do a

replay, we just have someone

who's watching every sporting

event and they just get to

judge like, all right, that was

actually such a painful loss.

They shouldn't have to talk

because you can't have a more

painful loss than what he had.

Yeah. What are we missing out

on by, by not hearing Rory talk?

I want to know Rick Riley is

probably mad at Rory because how

is he going to make puns about,

about Rory after the game? Are

after the match when he didn't

hear him talk towards he's he

tell you what Rick Riley, I will

give you your lead. Yeah. Rory.

Hey, Rory can't find the hole

from within four feet twice. Boy,

I feel sorry for his ex ex-wife

ex ex-wife. Yeah. There you go.

Rec two negatives make a

positive about the collapse. Oh,

what'd he say? Yeah. Poor Rory

golf is the cruelest game. It

will pants you in front of the

whole schoolyard. Then steal your

lunch money. Oh, sounds a little

personal, Rick. Wait. So Rick's

talking about personal, like the

game of golf being a bully. It's

like 15 year old Rory McIlroy's

penis is, wait, but that's

actually not right because a

pantsing with the full balls

flopping out is so funny. This

wasn't funny. This was tragic.

Like if you, yeah, if you had,

if you pants Rory and his, in

his Dick and balls flopped out

for everyone to see, that's one

of the funniest moments of all

time. Like if you really pants

someone and you get the boxers

too, that's fucking hilarious.

I got, you can't, you can't tell

me different. Wait, Jake,

you've been pants. Yeah, we

thought the balls flopping out.

Yeah. Balls. We're playing

pickup ball. Me and my friends

at home. Uh huh. It just

happened. We were in

transition. Yeah. Damn. Oh,

you were in transition. So no

balls, no penis there. No balls.

We're in transition on the

basketball court. Oh, okay.

Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it.

Got it. Got it. Uh, yeah, no.

So PFT, you're exactly right

that when the story now for all

the reporters being like, you

didn't let us do our job. We

don't have a story to write

about. Now you're going to write

about this story, how you

didn't get to talk to Rory. And

on top of that, Rory is going to

talk to someone, probably do

like a, you know, a profile or,

or just, you know, some, one of

these insider guys is going to

reach out to him in three days.

And there's going to be a long

story about how, how

disappointed he is. And we're

going to get even more content

out of it. Like four days from

now, we're going to get a Rory

story that we can talk about.

He'll be like, I'm, I'm sorry

that I left this early. Yeah,

right. I was in a very

emotional state and then he'll

do like that whole thing. Or he

could just answer a reporter's

text message like Brooks. Yeah.

Actually, should we text Brooks?

I got to see what Rory's, what

his reaction about Rory leaving

early was. All right. I'm going

to text him. I'll say, what are

you, we're doing the show right

now. We're looking for comment

on what Rory would have thought.

Yeah. All right, Hank, give us

your thoughts while I text this

cause you're the big golfer and

also congratulations on your

Bryson win. Yeah. Bryson been

riding him every major this

year. Uh, two top fives won

today. Felt like he was going to

lose all day. Uh, once he went

down to, he couldn't hit up

drive straight. I was kind of

worried about him just switching

driver. Like they said, he never

swung this driver before until

the first tee shot, which was a

little alarming. Uh, stay woke

on that. We've got a theory with

smiling. Yeah. I actually like

this theory a lot of, of that

will be his next YouTube video

is going to be such a banger.

Yes. Whatever it is, it's just

going to be like, I think I won

the U S open. He won the U S

open for the content. Uh, but it

was, I mean, he was hitting it

out of the shit. Every single

hole still making birdies

unbelievable win. And I mean,

Rory is fun to root against.

He's kind of like, I have never

necessarily been a huge Rory fan

and in sports it's always fun.

Maybe I'm just a hater, but I

always, as much as I like rooting

for the people I like to root

for, I love rooting against

people too. Like LeBron Rory is

not as bad, but like it's, it's

kind of fun to watch someone

choke. Yeah. And this was an

ultimate live versus PGA showdown.

Yeah. And your live boys came up

big. You are a live head. I

thought we were told that when a

live guy won a major, we would

get all the other live guys on

the green waiting for him.

Brooks did tweet right away.

Oh yeah. They rallied. Yeah.

It's actually a great tweet.

He said, welcome to the club.

Uh, two time U S open champ.

That's very nice of him. Uh,

the, I was going to say, uh, I

saw, I saw Dustin Johnson wearing

the four aces polo. He is playing

earlier this week. So that

reminded me to ask Hank who the

four aces are. Four aces are

Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed,

Pat Perez.

It's a guy who, uh, his dad

owns something. Right? No, I

think they had a trade. I'm

looking at now. It's not a guy

who's, is it Matthew something?

No, you're thinking Matthew

Wolf. Oh man, Hank. Is he good?

Pat Perez, Patrick Reed. Uh,

when I say the name, you'll be

like, yeah, I know him. Is it

Patrick? No, I don't know.

Harold Warner the third. Oh,

yeah. Um, Bryson. So, uh, that

he, he has done the full JJ watt

rehabilitation where he was, he,

the crowd was going crazy for

him and he is, we're going to

get into it more with Smiley on

why he's been able to work.

Bryson has changed who he is.

Like the, the revisionist

history. I know there's a few

hardcore Bryson fans and they

should take the victory lap

right now, but it's not like,

Oh, we were all wrong about

Bryson. I think Bryson realized

that he was really annoying and

he's adapted and done a really

good job about it. Like he, it

was fun watching him play golf.

We had this take for the master.

So this isn't just because he

won. We, we said that we were

kind of slowly becoming Bryson

fans. Thankfully Brooks, they've

squashed the beef, but he is fun

to watch. I think it's cause he

has, he has a fan base now and

when he's happy, when he has

people behind him, he becomes

more likable. It's when he

doesn't have a built in fan base

that he's trying so very hard to
