June Pro Golf Check-In: U.S. Women’s Open, Scottie’s One Win, & the Fitzpatrick Brothers
6/3/20261 hr 23 min
Andy Johnson is joined by Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg and Joseph LaMagna for the June installment of their monthly pro golf check-ins. The three each give one thing they're watching at this week's U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club, primarily focusing on Nelly Korda's search for her first win at the event. From there, Andy, Kevin, and Joseph discuss a variety of pro golf topics, including Tommy Fleetwood's winless 2026, Scottie Scheffler's upcoming attempt to win the Career Grand Slam, and whether PGA Tour U is harming players more than it's helping them.

I think, uh, one of the neat things about that is that golf fans' general familiarity with Riviera from their hosting of every year's LA Open, but seeing a completely different style of golf being played on a very familiar course. Uh, I'm really looking forward to locking in on that this week, uh, for the U.S. Women's Open. Lots of coverage of that on, on Golf Channel. So, I am joined by Joseph and, uh, Kevin.
