Does It Count? Golf's Hottest Debate + US Open Picks | Dope Stroke Podcast Show #76

Was Phil Mickelson ever really a legend - or have we just been looking the other way?

This week on Dope Stroke, the boys are back with a big one. The US Open is here, Trottie's got a tent story he's refusing to tell, Bubs may or may not have had a hole in one, and Phil Mickelson is once again dominating the conversation for all the wrong reasons.

We get into whether Phil's legacy is genuinely under threat, how recency bias is reshaping how we see the game's biggest names, and why golf keeps producing the most polarising characters in sport. Tiger, Phil — is there something about the game that creates this?

Then we turn our attention to Shinnecock Hills. Who's winning the US Open? Brooks back fit and motivated, Fitzpatrick's iron play, Jon Rahm playing through controversy — the boys make their picks and explain why this one could go over par again.

Plus: Splash Sports is running a competition this week with a $10,000 prize fund. $25 entry, pick your eight players, and you're in with a shot. Link below.

And we close out on the most important debate in golf right now — if you hit the shot, but it wasn't your turn... does the hole in one count?
