Safeway Open Round 1 Recap + Brooks Koepka’s U.S. Open Withdraw (9/10)

The First Cut Podcast is back after a long one day off season. We’re chatting about the Safeway Open among other things on today’s episode…

• It’s a crowded leaderboard in Napa Valley, who has the most staying power among the leaders?
• Phil Mickelson has somehow put together a round under par. What’s our confidence in him as we start to peak ahead to the U.S. Open.
• Jordan Spieth… oh Jordan. The first round of his 2021 season has not begun under ideal terms. Kyle Porter laments about the situation.
• Akshay Bhatia, Andy Zhang and Sahith Theegala offer some youthful injection into this week’s tournament.
• We wrap with a little chat about Brooks Koepka’s surprise withdrawal from the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot.
