Summary
In this episode of Hold the Green, Twitterless Steve records a solo Saturday night episode previewing the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, sharing why the Open is his favorite major to watch and recalling key Birkdale moments like Spieth's 2017 win and Palmer's 1961 shot, along with recent Scottish Open betting and weather challenges. He breaks down Birkdale's defining sand dune corridors, flat narrow fairways, small greens, and the sixth as the toughest hole, then covers course renovations since 2017 including a potentially drivable 5th hole. Steve debates strategy for the week and shares his take on how the course will play. He closes with an early weather preview and how it might effect scoring.
