This special Open Championship Pop-Up Pod is brought to you by Callaway Golf. Makers are the number one selling driver in 2017. Pro golfers are on the golf course six or seven days a week. So how do these elite athletes spend their precious off days? Why Calloway and Vice Sports spent a rare off day with the Open's defending champion, Henrik Stenson in Orlando, where he learned how to wake, surf, while discussing his life and career in golf. I got to tell you, Henrik looked pretty good out there today, House.

We'll get to that here in our Open Championship pod. I, not great on the greens, but the ball striking and being out on the links. The man looks very comfortable in the open championship. I'm not surprised. I know. It's not a shocker. Go to CallowayGolf.com slash collabs to watch the full off day episode with Henrik Stenson. All right.

Let's go to the Shackhouse, part of the Ringer podcast network. House greetings from a increasingly chilly media center here after a. fantastic first day at Royal Burkdale. We had a great time here today. I have been here since bright and early and it's been a good, solid, fun, lively day of golf from the open. I hope you got to see some of it. So Shaq, it's chilly now. It was because by all indications, it looked like, you know, I would have to make sure that you had a lot of sunscreen, that you had your hat, that you had, you know, full cover up. I was worried about the guys in their sun tans. And, you know, This was after there was a lot of chatter, and we, we, our own selves were comparing notes on this.

I might have tried to steer some folks based on the idea that the weather was going to be bad. It didn't look bad at all today, Shaq. It looked glorious today. Well, so far every day the forecast has something slightly murky in it, and every day it's fizzled out. And they were accurate right from the get-go. I got to the course at 4.50 a.m. for midnight drive, which, uh, kicked off the coverage and it was so cold and raining so hard and so nasty and they were looking good and then it kind of faded at mid at sunrise and then it uh but then it just the the winds never

materialized and it's it's bizarre house because the afternoon wave really had it nice and not as many players tore it up in the afternoon as I would have thought but you know that's uh may have been the greens I'm not sure the course is in an incredible condition so As you might imagine, I was concerned because I have a couple of plays out there. We gave these. I gave these out. 64 and a half, you know, a six under today was very much in play for several guys. It was a nervous experience watching the Open Championship for me and maybe some folks that might have taken my guidance so far, this particular championship.

Yeah. And I was getting very nervous watching Jordan Speeth on the 18th Green. I was out there and he had, what, 10 feet, I think, to shoot 64. And I thought for sure I'd be hearing from you immediately and he didn't do it. But it was a phenomenal round of golf anyway for him. I got to follow him on the back nine and wrote about it for golf week. And then he came in the press center after. And the whole package was just so impressive.

He didn't hit a lot of fairways if you look at the numbers. but he missed in spots except for one that were really very good places to miss. But the really interesting thing about him today and the other two guys who shot 65 to keep it over that 64 and a half number was just really kind of how effortless it was for them. Speeth was really fun to watch. He was flighting the ball well and he was very, you know, he was chatty out there with Michael Greller, but he wasn't like the usual kind of rampant play-by-play stuff. He was chewing gum, which we asked him about after he was calm.

He was talking up, but not really getting carried away. I kind of think, and I hate to say this, but I think some of it was really just being at the British Open, the Open Championship, and the galleries here. The no-baba buoys. No, one guy had to tell him that he watched him wire-to-wire win at Pebble Beach going off to a tee and you know that was really a you know big revelation for him really made his day i'm sure but uh the care the crowds here are so so respectful and he would be

he hit two balls into the crowd both times he walk up and go okay didn't anybody get hit is everybody okay and uh and then he had a marshal step on his ball and he watched the guy doing he could have really he could have really blown up uh because he got a worst lie when he had to drop it and he didn't He just stayed calm. And I was really impressed. The iron play, everything about it. That whole group was pretty impressive. Stenson was very shaky on the greens, but otherwise solid.

And Siwu Kim had a very nice day hitting the ball terribly. And I had watched him a little in the practice round, hitting lob shots. And I was just thinking, oh, what a stooge. What is he doing? This is the Open Championship. It ended up, he was the one hitting all these, wacky little creative shots around the green. So I don't know if he had a moment and he figured it out between today and yesterday.

But it was, he played some very, very interesting creative shots around the green. So there was a lot of fun to watch them. The only criticism that I could come up with, with Speeth, the, you know, watching it on the broadcast, and he was kind of on the earlier side of this morning's, televised portion he was very you used the word calm

he was he seemed very self-contained I don't know if that's yeah no no it's exactly what it was yeah yeah he just I think it was a gum I think I'm going with a gum chewing

did he didn't say that in the conference he we asked him Karen Kraus the New York Times asked him about it I had started writing my lead for Golf Week mentioning the gum And I was not sure whether I wanted to ask it.

And thankfully, she did. The great thing about Karen is she is not afraid to ask some of those questions. And he told us the story. He had the same piece of gum in the press conference. So he started the day with Cameron McCormick gave it to him, his instructor. And it just was one of those things. And he did note that Payne Stewart used to play that way. Then he tried to claim it didn't really have an impact.

But you watch, if he doesn't chew gum, the rest of the tournament, I'll be shocked. He also brought the trackman out on the range for the first time ever in his career before a round, which I wrote about in the story, which is for trackman geeks, that's kind of interesting. And just interesting, you know, that another player is checking their numbers before a round. It's an interesting trend. Well, his preparation for this tournament, and the same is true of Kepka, was, you know, different for Jordan than the year's path. He didn't play the deer, and he didn't.

play the Scottish. So he had a quiet week in between. Kepka hasn't played golf since the U.S. Open as far as I'm aware. That is correct. And he in his press conference revealed not only has he not played tournament golf since the U.S. Open, he hasn't played much golf at all. So his 67 is kind of impressive. Yeah, I would say that.

So the thing with Spieth and taking the time off, that hasn't over the years been the path to an actual champion golfer of the year at the end of the tournament. Did he talk at all about his approach to this year's event? In depth, yeah, it was great. They brought them in the press building, which doesn't happen too often anymore. In fact, they brought all three leaders. And I don't know, maybe the players are more receptive to the British accent when the press person asks. But all three came in.

All, of course, were as well, especially. Coutcher and Spieth were outstanding. And Spieth was just went on and on. I mean, every question he just gave these great answers. I asked him about whether he's going to be watching the telecast tomorrow morning. I thinking he might stay away from it because it'll just be depressing watching the weather. Although the forecast now, it's really the afternoon guys are going to be the ones to get hit. But we asked him, Tim Roosevelt asked about his little trip to Cabo and hanging out with Michael Phelps.

And shoot, I'm drawing a blank. Who else was down there? But anyway, he went on and on about some of the stuff he's been learning from Michael Phelps. And really a lot of it is just diet and zeroing in on his workouts a little bit more aggressively and with a little different focus, he said. And that's what he credits his improved iron play to. So there you go. He gets a little more flexible and he says he gets through the ball better and more consistently.

So I have no reason to doubt him. But a lot of interesting stuff in his post-round. So you'll see there's a few articles out there, not just mine. I did not get into the Cabo trip stuff, but I covered some of the other things. Yeah, I mean, I don't care about the Cabo trip stuff. Go ahead and, you know, do you, whatever you need. But the point was, he did say it was, it was, you know, he got his mind off golf for a couple days. And then he got the itch back, which, you know, that was.

And he, you know, he played down there. But he needed that just a few days of vegging out and then get the, get the fireback. Yeah, little midseason refresher. It's not like the, you know, no offense to the great venues in between the U.S. Open and the Open Championship, but it's not like any of those were must-attens. And he hit the one right after the Open Championship and won the damn event. So, you know, he's in form, I would say. The only thing that was out of form with Speath, and I'm interested, you saw him with your own two eyes.

Speaking of, there's a couple guys we're going to talk about this that you saw with your own two eyes. what was speed look like he had not not one not two but three different collars going and and his little his sleeveless puffer it looked like he was on his way to a euro trash dance party the uh no no no that was roaring the password well right you look there are a lot of guys that fit this but but speech little little puffer sleeveless puffer was not uh translating well is the way i would say it probably not i might be the wrong demo for this probably not my generation, but it looked like he was on his way to a party, and you have to, the password to get in was detour. I don't understand the outrage.

I was out there on the course, and I was scrolling through Twitter while they were waiting on a shot, and I saw the vest hype and outrage over both his and Rory's Marty McFly, Orange One, and this was scripted. He was going to wear the vest all along today. it was of course we now get their scripting you know that doesn't make it any better but just because they had the bad taste to pick it out ahead of time doesn't help it no I just didn't understand all the surprise

except that maybe now the relief is that this means people have stopped reading all those scripting articles which is probably fine by me but yeah he looked good he was comfortable he took it off when it got warm on 17 he had a half sip underneath and like a hybiscous shaded shirt under that. So he... Okay.

Yeah. But anyway, it was... It was... He was just very comfortable and it was fun to watch. He clearly loves being on a lynx course and, I mean, who I wouldn't... If you're hitting the ball well,

who wouldn't want to be out on this course, it's in great shape. And he had to have a little pep in your step when the wind just didn't materialize quite like the forecast that said. Anyway, we've beaten that one to death. Yeah, so he's great. He's going to probably win.

Anyway, go on. No, well, that's, this is where I wanted to go with it. I don't think we can say anybody's going to win. You have no idea because the thing that today demonstrated is how little of a grasp anybody genuinely has of what the weather is going to produce. I mean, I know we have 21st century technology helping us, and the microclimate there in Southport is the thing that's really driving, you know, the conditions. But it was a windless event.

It was like watching Sunday last year at Trune where it was, you know, Henrik had to take off a layer on the 17th, you know, behind the 17th T because it was so warm. We got exactly a repeat of this. I thought that we were coming, you know, that we were in store for a blood bath because of the weather and where the course is situated on the Irish C. And that may yet still be the thing. Yeah, tomorrow afternoon. It was a big surprise today to turn on the TV and see all the sun and all the guys enjoying. You know, this, a 64 under those conditions would have been nothing. I would, you know, not an eye, not even an eyebrow razor.

No, no. And the other thing, the R&A did a nice job with the setup. They didn't really get cute with any whole locations. In fact, they really put a lot of them in based on this wind condition and not in the way that you would, that would make you roll your eyes. It was in the way that would, okay, if the wind's blowing this way, a good player is going to be able to work a ball into that whole location. So it was a very nice setup, very fair.

And then we had some rain overnight. We had a decent amount of rain that allowed the course to just soften enough. And then the bunkers also firmed up a little bit. The bunkers were really fluffy and not fun to play out of in the practice rounds. And that little bit of rain just firmed them up enough. So you saw some pretty great bunker recovery shots. So pretty much everything, kind of all those little stars aligned. And I don't care.

I mean, we're all very happy here in the media center because we have some, it's just, you can get some strange British Open first round leaderboards. And this one's sensational, I think, you know. That's the word for it. Kutcher at the top. And Casey with a very quiet 66 right there. And Poulter, I think, is just a great story. Justin Thomas right there.

Then you have a couple of fun English stories, you know, Richard Bland and the Manly and then Cabrera Beo, who's not English, who won last week. So a nice international mix, Matsuyama lurking. And then, you know, John Rom goes from looking like a disaster to getting cleared of another rules violation. And it turns out he's posted a 70, excuse me, a 69. Let me see if I can pull it up here. Oh, I didn't realize the two-stroke penalty that was in play. Correct. Did not happen.

Yeah. So he was very pleased and very happy to give interviews after the round because he was cleared. We're waiting on a statement. One of my colleagues from Golf Week is working on it. He got to interview him. So a good day for Rom. So really, and then Rory had a great comeback. It was looking like he was going to be taking another weekend off.

So really, I want to talk about Rory and Ricky. Those were the two really interesting performances to me today. I mean, other than sort of the weather, you know, sort of evening out and letting guys get out there and put up some underpar numbers. That's one storyline. But the storyline of Rory and Ricky,

and they each had, you know, different rounds, but each was extremely gutsy in its own regard. Let's start with Rory. What did you see, or how much were you able to see of Rory? Very little. I mean, I was writing my story when he was at the point where he was really stinking it up. And then, you know, he got it going without that wind there at the end. And I mean, he went from 80 to 1 to 40 to 1 in a heartbeat on the updated odds.

And they gave it a big fist bump at the end. And so a nice recovery for him. I don't know what to think still of where he is with his game. but he clearly left the golf course in a good mood, and he's two over, or excuse me, is he, one over. One over with the birdie on 18. So that's only six back, and so definitely a big, big salvation for him.

Ricky, on the other hand, wow, was he hitting some bizarre shots? And he, I mean, he is going to sleep well tonight. He was in places that were high stress, oh, excuse me, high leverage situations. That's my new favorite baseball. Have you been getting that? Do your Nats announcers do that now? I've been subjected to the leverage for a little while.

Every situation is a high leverage situation now. Anyway, or a super high leverage situation. Anyway, he had multiple times where he could have just, the round could have completely unraveled. And he somehow scraped it around and just kind of kept hanging in there. I mean, he hit one drop kick iron on 15. Granted, it was after he'd been looking for his ball. and had about 100 people looking for his ball.

And it was a great photo that went around on social media. And then they found it. He went out sideways. And then he had an iron into the green. I mean, it just a colossal drop kick short left of the green and didn't get up and down. So it looked like one of those where everything went wrong did that could go wrong and did. And it's going to be interesting to see if he can make a couple little adjustments.

and because I think he his body language was very unusual. I don't know how much you saw, but he was he was visibly mad at himself and mad and flustered a few times. And he just doesn't get that way very often. So I believe it, having seen his play at the Scottish, so I think I said on the preview show, effortless the game looked for him. And then what does he do?

He goes out there and has a round that was just all, all, all smoking mirrors to get through it. But that's precisely the point. This is the thing that impressed me about him. He has not this season. He's been in form all season long, and I would say he hasn't really confronted the kind of adversity. Now, these are, you know, self-made errors that he's entirely 100% responsible for. But he hadn't encountered that kind of adversity.

And for him to finish the way that he did, and hang in there. I thought it was a pretty incredible round. And I think, you know, all things considered from what we've observed of him, the kind of player that he is, it's, it's in a way, this is a kind of dumb thing to say, but it strikes me as possibly better for him to have had that round, as the entry point in, as opposed to the way that he began the U.S. Open,

which is kind of a crazy thing to say. No, no, I think you're absolutely right. In a weird way, I mean, he won't, you know, he's exhausted. No, I know. That's for us. This is for our pop psychology. It's fascinating. I think you're right.

I think it's a fascinating little turn. And we'll see what he does tomorrow and how he recovers. But all in all, I mean, just the more I look at this, the diversity of games and storylines and the way the course performed, it really was an outstanding day. Now, did you like a lot of people, you were working? Did you have this on some NBC stream? What were you looking at?

And what did you think of the coverage? I thought the coverage on balance was excellent. They delivered exactly the right combination of tech features. So I learned the golf course today, and that's always what I want out of a Thursday broadcast. I want Thursday to help me learn the golf course so that as the week goes on, I have a familiarity with the holes. I know where trouble is. I know where, you know, if a guy hits it in that place, then he's cooked. I very much appreciate that out of the Thursday presentation, and I thought the broadcast was a home run in that respect.

I learned the golf course today. The other thing that was an absolute revelation, speaking of home runs, I can't tell you how good Bones was. I mean, it is as though he has been training for 10 years, walking the golf course behind Phil, doing his own private commentary on what's going on. That's how well-versed he was. He had unbelievable stories. He told an incredible story about Phil playing with Bubba. Bubba was coming up 18 Fairway. And Bones insisted on sharing the story about how Phil encountered Bubba,

early in Bubba's career. Bubba's still in college. And that, you know, Phil put it a little, just because he was coming to Athens, Georgia, to visit Bones, Bones hometown. And he would go play with him. the guys at the University of Georgia once in a while. And Bubba happened to be there and they wagered.

And Bubba did not beat Phil. And as a result, Bones thinks it's the case that Bubba still owes Phil a plane washing. I mean, that's pretty good. That's not a story you're going to get. I'm not going to name names. But like from your regular Saturday, Sunday broadcast on the usual programmers, you're not getting those kinds of stuff. story. So he was also, as you would expect, like extremely astute in terms of his observations,

but super articulate. I mean, we've seen interviews with him. We know how well-spoken he is and how concise he can be. But I just found his overall presentation. It felt as though he'd been doing it for a decade, which is why I made the joke about him, you know, walking behind Phil all these years and maybe doing commentary under his breath. I don't know. I thought it was pretty bold that they they put him out there in in in the range of phil and the ability to comment on him i i was i wasn't expecting that right out of the shoot but i guess why not it's uh it's the best way to to handle it let him let him comment on on phil and he had a much better he had a much better present performance that phil did today yes yes yes as several noted he'll be working the weekend and and

and phil probably won't be unless he goes out tomorrow and and does something special the thing that also was funny about just last thing on bones was how many writers noted, hey, I've been trying to get these stories out of him for years, and he's never cracked. And there he was, just spilling the beans on round one of the open. But good for him. Yeah, right. He's a professional.

He's not giving that stuff up for free. No, no. He knows what he's doing. Yeah, absolutely. Well, good. I'm glad to hear that was the case with the broadcast. I have it here. And when we were in, I was able to see it.

I agree with you. They did a nice job with the, course and the aerials. A lot of this is part of the world feed. Some of it's NBC. They had a putting graphic. I didn't understand a thing that made no sense at all to me, actually showing a line of a putt.

The one thing I will say criticism-wise, because of the nature of the feed onto your digital platform, it was an extraordinary number of commercials. It was a murder, a murderous number of commercials. Oh, okay. So it was not in the vein of the U.S. Open or the Masters where you get sort of a much less intrusive commercial interruption. This was equal to watching it on TV at home, perhaps even more. I mean, if you tried to do any rewind or forward wind, it is nice to having that capacity at your desktop, but you would immediately get stuck in the three commercial loop that you couldn't break out of.

Anytime you try to move it. So that's a murder. Interesting, because the one thing I noticed watching NBC here, and I'll get some clarification on this for our show on Sunday night, that sounds like a digital issue and a digital ad package deal, because here I actually commented to somebody, you know, this is the first year for NBC under their terms of the agreement they reached with the RNA, and I actually felt like there was a,

much less commercial inventory on the broadcast from the perspective here that we were watching compared to the old model that the, because NBC basically worked under the contract terms of the NBC, the ESPN deal, which was always way too many commercials. And so I'll try to find out what the number is per hour because it seemed better to me, but that sounds more like a, not a great, well, maybe I caught a bad stretch. I don't know. I know how those things can be because the PGA of America used to have one with the PGA championship where you had any interruption at all. And then suddenly you're getting the Mercedes ad playing again or whatever it was.

And it was brutal. So I'll see what I can find out on that. Yeah, early on, they had some, they had Toriko. They moved the announcers around. So it seemed like a good setup. But anything about the place you're curious about just from watching? I mean, I've gotten to know it fairly well now. and I've really enjoyed walking around it.

Great crowds today, too. I want to get your thoughts on what guys you're interested in seeing. I'm going to share with you my guy. I am now on fire for Rory. What he did on that back nine and the way he was putting and the way he was seeing lines, it was that version of Rory where you can see him seeing the line and you know that he's going to make the put.

That happened three times on the back. Okay. And I was like, all right. I mean, he's six shots back. Look out for Rory. That's where I'm in right now. I'm letting you have him.

He's all yours. He's all yours, my friend. Actually, hey, how about Bubba Watson at 200 and I don't know if you got to see it. Anybody got to see it. His body language is focused. Everything looks sensational. It looked like a bubble from a few years ago, which just took her. I mean, like, where did this come from?

I've been waiting. He had a good. Memorial and I actually right on the Bay, right on Sunday of the Memorial put in a small wager on Bubba for the U.S. Open at 80 to 1 because, you know, the early take on Aaron Hills

was that it was going to be a bomber's course and I thought, you know, but there's Bubba's showing a little something. I was really impressed with his round today. Yeah, no, this is a really interesting thing for him to break through and then he's going to be out in the morning tomorrow so we'll see what

let's see what the people are saying. My house I went completely out of control at Ladbrooks with, I got into some prop bets and fun stuff. Oh, yeah. My guy Andy Sullivan, is still getting no respect, shot a decent even par round. Andrew Levy, excuse me, Alexander Levy had a two under. I was getting very excited early and fumbled a little bit coming in my 250 to one shot, man. But Andy Sullivan's still hanging in there. What are the punters saying about Bubba? Is there any love for Bubba? No, it doesn't appear they're too excited.

Well, I may have to, you know, get over before dinner. You might get a price. I am, well, obviously I'm excited just to see what these afternoon guys do if the forecast holds. Because the forecast that I have says it's going to get very, very ugly in the afternoon. And the players are banking on that. Speed sort of is planning for that. and I have no reason to doubt. Give me the comparison.

Is the morning tomorrow going to be like the afternoon was today? I don't know. I think it won't be that nice, but it won't be that bad either. And so I think the... What's coming in? Is it wind? Is it wind and rain? It's wind and rain.

We have a chance of Gus up to 35. Winds generally 15 to 20 with Gus to 30, but perhaps 35 in the... afternoon. And what time is even 13 is enough to mess with guys? What time? They're not really committing to of course they are. I'm sure they're not. No, they've been a little bit weak on that front. So I think that'll be

well we'll see. It'll just be fun to to kind of see the luck of the draw works out. You know, Speed's view was that he's going to play 30 of these and it's going to be 50-50 in the end and he's really taking this sort of I guess what I loved what I saw there

is he's taking this big picture view that now that there's not there's urgency but there isn't that that urgency where you sense okay maybe he's trying too hard or pressing too much and that that's the first time I've kind of felt that around him where you you don't feel like he's going to get carried away and waste a lot of energy so anyway that's well look it's it's an outstanding leaderboard and we we've got the perfect first day summary here. I'm glad that we've reached the end of this. I did not have to talk about Jason Day's.

Oh, no, you have to. You have to. You have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we, that's what we didn't cover. We didn't cover that on the fashion. How about that? What do you mean? How about that? That is, you know, the fact that he shot a one under today after gym class is really impressive. I'm glad

that he was able, you know, after his stepping, his step exercises to make it out to the golf course and walk around and get us a nice 61. I mean, uh, a nice 69. Somebody had a great tweet that he actually just violated the new LPGA dress code, which bans the joggers. The other thing he did that at his press conference the other day, he brought his gym bag and set it down next to him.

And then when he got up, he kind of picked up the bag. And I went, oh, no, are we trying to sell some goods here? What's going on? I haven't seen this, but a couple of people said Westbrook and a few. of the NBA guys have done this now to the pressers brought a sort of a weekend or bag or something that and because he's got you know he's got a hand or the ensemble so you know he's just I don't know he's trying too hard yeah did you watch the Callaway Live with Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons who loves Lynx golf who at some point we're going to get on the shack house

yes did you did you watch the show I will tell you you, I watched the first 10 minutes. The reveal was the thing that I was most curious to see. I wanted to see Harry Ornette. Harry was very calm, cool, and collected. He thought he was going to get you, who he's had. He's probably interviewed 25

times. And then when Maddie Ice appeared, I mean, enthusiasm doesn't even capture it. It was genuine love. It was the surprise mixed with, you know, a really endearing

enthusiasm out of Harry. He's clearly a Falcons fan. He proved that. So anyway, I urge people to check it out. I have it posted on my site. Calloway Live. You can search on the internet. Matt Ryan, great show. Jeff Newbarth produced. And obviously Harry has to ask the

15 Super Bowl questions. But then when he gets to it, there's really some cool stuff with Matt Ryan about Lynx golf, why he loves that he goes annually on a trip. And then he gets into interesting stuff on why he plays golf to help with his flexibility, which I thought was fascinating. Kind of a, yeah, it gets into some stuff about rotation and different things.

And a very cool guy. It was just an honor to meet him and such a class act. So I urge people to check that out, especially this time of year. It's just kind of cool that we're getting ready for NFL training camps and all that. And here's a guy who's a quarterback, star quarterback, loves his golf. So Callaway Live is It's really an outstanding episode And not because I was the foil

At the beginning So we're going to come back on Sunday night After the final round And we'll have lots to kick around I think it's going to be a doozy And in the meantime Lots of coverage On my site

Jeff Shacklefer.com, Golfweek.com And then you'll be tweeting a little bit I'll probably tweet some Definitely will Some betting updates. Always a pleasure, Jeff Shackleford. Absolutely.

Another fine shack houses in the can. Thank you, House. Another fine, Shackhouse, British Open Edition. On the Ringer Podcast Network.
