Episode Details

Seventeen-year-old golf phenom Miles Russell stunned the U.S. Open with a steady 72 in his debut, outplaying veteran Padraig Harrington—54 and a three-time major champion—on a windy Shinnecock Hills course. Russell, headed to Florida State and playing with his future college teammate Charlie Woods as caddie, showed poise and maturity far beyond his age, even forgetting the last time the Open was held here. Harrington, who struggled with bogeys early, admitted he’s unsure if his game at 17 was as polished as Russell’s, and praised the young left-hander’s bright future. Despite minimal conversation due to the weather, Russell absorbed invaluable lessons from Harrington’s decades of experience, recognizing that even silence on the course can teach you how to carry yourself and play the game like a pro.
