Welcome back to Pull Hook Golf! Episode 72 is packed with golf excitement and memorable moments as we dive into The 151st Open Championship Recap and look ahead to the upcoming 3M Open.

Before we begin, a solemn moment as we remember the passing of Mikey Perez, a dear friend and original co-host. We share a heartfelt story from our Masters Episode with Mr. Short Game, where Mikey's larger-than-life personality shone through.

Next up, the 3M Open is on our radar, and Bobby's course analysis will get you ready for the action. Who's in the field? Who's got the edge? Penny Bets add to the thrill as we place our bets on Sungjae Im vs. Justin Thomas and Austin Eckroat vs. Joel Dahmen.

Now, let's rewind to the Barracuda Championship, where Akshay Bhatia emerged victorious with a remarkable final-round 63. Patrick Rodgers gave it his all, but it wasn't enough. Find out who came out on top in our Penny Bets!

Drumroll, please! The Open Championship Recap takes center stage as Brian Harmon is crowned the Champion Golfer of the Year, joining the ranks of legends Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods as previous winners. Bobby's leaderboard rundown brings you all the highlights, including the unforgettable hecklers who played a role in Harmon's triumph. Some said this Open was a letdown, but true golfers and fans appreciated its magic.

As we wrap up, we can't contain our excitement for the upcoming 3M Open and upcoming episodes with The President of the LAGC, The Fat Perez, and Summer Willis. Stay tuned for more golf insights and entertainment!
