No United States course has hosted this legendary event as many times as Oakmont; this will be number 10. Tommy Armour won at Oakmont’s first hosting in 1927 and since then it’s been an extensive cabaret of golf greats that have attempted to beat one of the great beasts in all of American golf. Hogan (1953), Nicklaus (1962), Miller (1973), Els (1994), Cabrera (2007) and Johnson (2016) have all stood tallest after the 72-hole test, but legions of hall of famers have tried to beat Oakmont and failed. Andy and Beemer “break down” the last American major of the season in this worldwide event that captures the minds of golf fans all over the globe.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
