   US Open Preview: Shinnecock Breakdown, Rory vs. Scottie, and Building the Perfect Golf Course

   The Home Team Podcast is back for a special U.S. Open week episode as Hiatt and Bennett break down Shinnecock Hills, one of the most iconic and demanding venues in championship golf. They talk through what makes the course so difficult, how firm greens, thick rough, wider fairways, and brutal short-game spots could shape the tournament, and why this major always seems to separate the most consistent players from the field. The guys also dive into the betting board, one-and-done strategy, and their favorite plays of the week, including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood, Wyndham Clark, Ludvig Åberg, and more. To close things out, Bennett introduces a fun new segment where they build their dream golf course using real-world inspiration, picking everything from the state and clubhouse to the signature hole, turn food, and best course logo.
