Welcome into an all new betting preview for this week's U.S. Open.

I'm Rick Aime and that right there. Andy Lack and Andy, it feels like just days ago.

We were at O'Kill for the PGA Championship because it was pretty much just a few days ago,

but another major championship on our docket for this week.

Yeah, I, I'm just feeling really grateful for this year because I got really lucky with at least

two of these venues, the two venues in the U.S. I have a close personal connection to both

of them. In my opinion, LACC is a top 10 to 15 golf course in the world, and I've been blessed to travel and get to play a lot of

the greatest golf courses. And when I say that LACC is in the true, true upper echelon, in my opinion,

from an architecture standpoint, I really mean that. And I will be happy to play some context for the reasons why I mean

that. My only concern and the only reason why I'm a bit bummed is that I hope that the conversation

this week, and I hope that the questions that gets asked to players in press conferences is more

along the lines of how do you feel about George Thomas's distinct bunkering style versus

what are the nuances of antitrust litigation.

So I hope that this championship and major venue gets the true shine that it deserves

because I truly believe that this is the best U.S. major venue that we have gone to in decades.

Well, I'll tell you what, it's Brookline started out very much in a similar way where a lot of

the conversation was was based around

and live because they had just come off, you know, their first event. And it was the first time we got

everybody back together. But very quickly as the week goes on, you end up finding a situation

where the major championship elevates itself. The golf course elevates itself to the conversation.

So that's kind of what I'm expecting again here.

And let's talk about the golf course because it is, it is Los Angeles Country Club.
