Rory McIlroy was asked if he’s okay with/understands that they may water between waves on Thursday and Friday. Provided an interesting nugget about Shinnecock watering every day at 2 p.m. for members. “It’s a unique golf course,” McIlroy said. “The members at Shinnecock will tell you they do that every single day—every single day at this course the members play they put water on the course at 2 p.m. So, it’s a unique golf course and it seems like it’s just something they have to do. “For me it’s more... my concern was you don’t want it to look as if you’ve lost the golf course, and you’re starting to put water on it, which I don’t think is what they’re going to do. I think, especially with the heaviness of the wind on Thursday, it’s probably prudent to do that. “Friday doesn’t look as windy, but I think just for, again, fairness and competitive integrity, they do it on Friday, too. But I think they’ve got enough bandwith on the weekend that they probably don’t need to do it. So, I understand it. When I first heard of it my first reaction was ‘that’s stupid, why are they doing that?’ But then once you actually listened and you let them break it down to you, you’re like, yeah, that makes sense.”

Unbelievable sequence from Bryson DeChambeau on his 3D printed 5 iron after a 4 over 76 today at the Masters. Reporter: “are you satisfied with the 5?” Bryson: “yeah, I mean, I only hit it once today, so…” Reporter: “how long does it take to make one?” Bryson: “prints in eight hours. Machines, they’re three or four hours. Then you have to cut grooves in it and do a bunch of other stuff. So you can have something within a day and a half. Reporter: “would that be something you would want to do for the weekend?” Bryson: “PFFTTTT 🥴🥴, no? It has to be USGA-conforming. There’s a whole process you have to go through.”

I have a real soft spot for this final approach into 18 by Tommy Fleetwood at Shinnecock in 2018, as I was standing directly behind it and couldn’t believe the sound it made. Not to mention the flight. He of course went on to hole the birdie putt for 62 to win the U.S. Open

![Jay Wright with an all-time story on Mike Francesca’s pod about Jalen Brunson saying he couldn’t play PINE VALLEY—after asking!!—because he had to workout in the AM. “In the summer —He likes golf, he’s not passionate about it like Josh [Hart], but he likes it. He asked me ‘can we play Pine Valley?’ I set him up last summer to play at Pine Valley. So I call him the night before and say alright, our tee time is 7:30 a.m. He says ‘I can’t do it, I got workout at 7:30.’ “It’s the key to everything he does, every day, is his work on his footwork, his technique. He still does it every day in the offseason.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2067390758592684209/amplify_video_thumb/2067390611456401408/img/bcG01asX5WyAAN7F.jpg)
