It’s September and that means we’re onto golf’s second major of the season… okay not exactly how things were planned at the beginning of 2020. The date has changed but the venue remains the same, who will win the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot? We attempt to answer that question and more on today’s edition of The First Cut Golf Podcast.
