From the bleachers at the 16th green, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme rehash the second day of play at Shinnecock Hills - with a leading score of 7-under halfway through the U.S. Open.
Was the setup too easy? Will it get harder this weekend? We read some differences of opinion on that topic from several players near the top of the leaderboard, plus Smylie's thoughts on the Saturday and Sunday setup.
Plus - we discuss Joaquin Niemann's two-shot penalty for throwing a sand wedge + missed cuts for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.
Check out our conversation with tournament leader Wyndham Clark on Monday: https://youtu.be/vkSIcRM1U0I
And stay tuned for weekend recaps at the 126th U.S. Open!
