The Drop by The Caffeine Caddy
Welcome to The Drop by The Caffeine Caddy—a podcast brewed for golf nerds and caffeine junkies alike. One of us stripes it like a pro, the other thinks a “draw” is something you do with crayons. Together, we dive into Tour drama, gear talk, swing woes, and the kind of hot takes you’d expect from two guys over-caffeinated on cold brew. Grab your favorite mug and settle in for a blend of golf, coffee, and questionable advice.

Episode 8: 2025 U.S. Open Recap: Oakmont Results, Leaderboard & Key Moments
Oakmont delivered exactly what we expected—chaos, carnage, and a champion who truly survived Oakmont Country Club.
This week on The Drop, Harrison and Zach break down one of the wildest U.S. Opens in recent memory. J.J. Spaun’s comeback from a front-nine 40 to drain a 64-foot birdie on 18 and win his first major. We’re covering every twist, collapse, and club slam from golf’s most punishing test.
In this episode:
- How Oakmont chewed up and spit out the field (74.63 scoring average)
- The three-putt epidemic and controversial course setup
- Emotional meltdowns from Rory, Shane Lowry, and Wyndham Clark
- Spaun’s mixed gear setup - and why brand-free bags are the new wave
- Notable missed cuts: Bryson, Phil, JT, Åberg, DJ, and more
