Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon.

I am your host, Shane Bacon, live from Aaron Hills.

We are trying to avoid a bit of weather, but I wanted to get you guys a clubhouse podcast this week with Curtis Strange, two-time U.S. Open Champions, something Dustin Johnson, of course, is trying to do this week with a small

guest appearance by Paul Azinger, back by popular demand. Of course, this week's episode, as always,

is brought to you by Ogeo. Just a reminder, if you haven't checked out their backpack selection,

you're doing it wrong. Check out the renegade backpack. It's my favorite one at Osio, and I'm telling you, it has everything you

need to bring everything you need around. I've got so many pockets. I think right now I have,

here's what I've got in my backpack. I'm actually looking at it. I've got my laptop, my iPad,

headphones, Bluetooth headphones, two media guides, two jackets, two water bottles, and my media badge. That's all in my backpack.

Plus, I've got some snacks. My wife always leaves me a couple of snacks, like some beef jerky and some almonds and stuff like that before I go on trips.

That's the renegade backpack from OGO. I'm telling you, you can carry everything you need. I'll be putting this microphone right back in it as I head off to another meeting here in just a little bit at

Aaron Hills. So make sure you check out their selection and everything at ogio.com.

I promise you will not be disappointed. And just a quick reminder for everyone. The U.S.

Open, of course, gets going tomorrow. 11 a.m. Eastern. It gets going on FS1. It moves to Fox at

6 p.m. Eastern. Friday, the same thing. Saturdays,

11 a.m. to 8, all on Fox. Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. or of course, whenever it ends, that's on Fox

as well. And also, the playoff will be on Fox, and that starts at 11 a.m. on Monday, and I'm telling you, I've got this feeling. I've got a feeling we're going to get a playoff. We've never gone nine years without a playoff in the U.S. Open, and I've got an itching feeling. Hopefully you've got a chance to watch our show today. We do a little preview show, really the first time anyone's done that. We've done it for a couple of years. It was on FS1. It was a chance to watch guys on the driving range, guys on their practice rounds get really introduced to what

Aaron Hills is all about. It's going to be fairly lengthy. Fescue may or may not come into play,

depending on which hole you're playing at this point. I got a chance to chat with Rory McElroy a bit. He said he's feeling great. He said he hadn't been able to do much in the gym, but he said he's feeling solid, feels healthy. He is ready to go. I feel like a lot of people are

picking him, even though he hasn't played a ton of golf this season. I got a chance to talk to

my sleeper, Stephen Yeager, Azure Sleeper,

2007's Andrew Landry. Stuart Haggastead's got about nine people following with these
