Episode Details

Ryder Cowan, 21 and a senior at the University of Oklahoma, is making waves at his first U.S. Open—leading after day one with a stellar 68, tying for fifth. A two-time All-American, he earned his spot through a playoff and already has major experience, including a runner-up finish at Augusta’s Drive, Chip and Putt in 2019. He’s also connected to NBA legend Blake Griffin, both alumni of the same Oklahoma high school. Playing from Oak Tree National—the site of the 1988 PGA Championship—he’s ranked 15th in the world amateur rankings and part of a record-tying 20 amateurs in the field, with a strong shot at the low amateur title.
